The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has warned the General Overseer of Deeper Life Bible Church, Pastor William Kumuyi, against the planned crusade in Aba, Abia State.
Given the insecurity in the region, IPOB advised him not to go ahead with the crusade.
In a statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, IPOB said criminals operating as unknown gunmen will most likely infiltrate the event and blame it on the group.
IPOB further urged the cleric and other pastors to pray for an end to insecurity and its sponsors in the zone, as well as demand justice for the late Deborah Yakubu and the release of Leah Shuaibu.
The statement read: “We wish to advise Pastor Kumuyi of the Deeper Life Bible Church to take note of the security situation in the Southeast as he comes to Aba for his gospel crusade.
“Let him and the organizers of the crusade make sure that nothing happens. The security situation of this region is not good because of political and criminal activities. Therefore, we advise him to stop this crusade for security reasons.
“IPOB will not allow anyone to die because of this crusade scheduled to hold in Aba. The operation of criminals operating as unknown gunmen, infiltrating events, is high and they will blame it on IPOB.
“We implore Kumuyi to pray for an end to insecurity in the Southeast. We call on Christians and other clerics to engage God in fervent prayers to expose those behind insecurity in our land.”
