IMO: IPOB kills spiritualist over failed protection charms

MEMBERS of the Eastern Security Network (ESN), the armed wing of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have shot dead a man, identified as Paschal Okeke, who makes “invincibility charms” for the group for the failure of his charms over the years, police in the state said.

In a statement signed by the Media Adviser to the Commissioner of Police, Mike Abatam, yesterday, the police said that the secessionist group was annoyed that the medicine, which is supposed to make them invincible and escape the onslaught on security agents had not been efficacious.

Police said the killing came after successful raids on the group’s hideouts and neutralisation of IPOB members.

Police said the killing occurred on June 25.

He was shot, decapitated, and his body burnt, police said in a statement.
