Joe Igbokwe, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has criticized religious leaders in the South-East, accusing them of being pretenders. In a post on his official Facebook page, the political commentator stated that all men of God in the region are failing to acknowledge the security challenges they face. Igbokwe claimed that the men of God are aware of the killings that have taken place in the South-East over the past 15 years but have chosen to remain silent.
He wrote, "Today is Sunday, the day of the Lord. Let me tell us that all men of God in the SE are pretending as if they do not know what happened in the zone in 15 yrs. 'They are aware of the thousands killed but kept quiet. If gold rusts what will iron do?'" Igbokwe's comments appear to be directed towards the activities of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its security wing, the Eastern Security Network (ESN).
The group has been responsible for numerous killings and property destruction in the South-East, leading to ongoing conflict with security forces.
