The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has criticized the Lekki massacre report for non-inclusive of the massacre by Nigerian forces in Obigbo, Rivers State.
A statement issued on Sunday by Emma Powerful, the media and publicity secretary for IPOB, reads:
LEKKI MASSACRE REPORT INCOMPLETE WITHOUT OBIGBO GENOCIDE REPORT – IPOB
The global family of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the command and leadership of great leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU is watching keenly the Lekki toll gate massacre report, and the reactions trailing it. But we are utterly shocked that nobody is mentioning the Obigbo massacre which happened about the same period and time last year.
We wonder why there is no report on the Obigbo genocide and ethnic cleansing which was sponsored by Gov. Nyesom Wike but executed by the Nigeria Army, police, and other security agencies last.
Innocent Igbo youths were killed in cold blood last year by Gov. Nyesom Wike in Obigbo LGA of Rivers State. Many dead bodies were thrown into the river by the masterminds of concealing evidence, yet there is no report about this genocide.

The world must know about the floating of dead bodies of our people at the rivers in Obigbo and those still missing to date.
Gov. Wike must come out openly and tell the world why he massacred people living in Obigbo LGA Rivers State. Wike must know that IPOB will never relent in the demand for Justice for those he ordered their execution in Obigbo LGA last year.
The world must know about the killings of Obigbo people and many illegally taken to the secret detentions in all parts of the Northern Nigerian states. IPOB has secured the release of about 600 innocent citizens taken to Nigeria army security detention facilities across the North and many are still missing till today.
We must remind the world about testimonies of our Obigbo women raped by the Nigerian security agents in various secret detention centers across the Northern Nigerian states that resulted in their early deaths.
The world must be aware of Obigbo women, men, and children that died in the illegal and secret detention centers across Northern Nigeria states.
