Powerful, in a statement he signed dissociated IPOB from the criminals, making it clear that the group is working towards exposing those behind the ongoing criminalities in Anambra, Enugu, and Imo states.
The secessionist group said it had never been part of or behind the ongoing insecurity and criminalities in the region.

“In Enugu State, a certain group of criminal elements turned themselves into enemies of the people, the names of their gang leaders are as follows; Chocho and Mazi Ejiofor; [they] are not IPOB members and anybody associating with them is a confirmed criminal,” the statement read in part.
