Joe Igbokwe, an aide to the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has fingered the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, in the murder of Dr Chike Akunyili.

Igbokwe claimed it is confirmed that IPOB killed Akunyili in Anambra State.

In a Facebook post, the All Progressives Congress, APC, chieftain described the pro-Biafra group as terrorists.

“It is now confirmed that IPOB bandits have killed Dr Chike Akunyili; the husband of late Prof. Dora Akunyili in Anambra State,” he said.

Chike, who is the husband of late Dora Akunyili, the ex-Director-General of National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC, was killed in Anambra State on Tuesday.

The Department of State Services (DSS) was accused of killing the medical doctor who was returning from a lecture in honour of his late wife.

However, members of IPOB were linked to his death, but the group had denied it.
