Late Prophet Anthony Nwoko and Mazi Ikechukwu Ugwuoha.
Who was Late Prophet Anthony Nwoko?
Late Prophet Anthony Nwoko was a passionate pro-Biafra advocate and a strong voice for the restoration of Biafra. He was once a close associate of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. During Kanu’s incarceration in Kuje Prison, Prophet Nwoko visited him in solidarity and later visited him again at his residence in Afaraukwu Ibeku.
Their relationship remained cordial until the controversial election boycott saga erupted.
After the sudden cancellation of the election boycott order at the eleventh hour, Prophet Nwoko openly accused Mazi Nnamdi Kanu of compromising with politicians.
He alleged that Kanu had accepted millions of naira exchanged in dollars in connection with Biafra-related political dealings involving the opposition PDP.
These allegations destroyed their relationship, and Prophet Nwoko later became one of Kanu’s boldest critics. His criticism gained attention because of his influence within Nigeria’s mainstream media, where national newspapers frequently carried his statements and interviews.
On April 16, 2019, shocking news broke that Prophet Anthony Nwoko had been brutally murdered by unknown assailants. His lifeless body was reportedly found in his room with deep machete wounds to his head, while the perpetrators escaped without trace.
What generated even greater controversy was the reaction of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu during a live radio broadcast after the news of the assassination began trending.
Instead of openly condemning the killing, Kanu made comments many considered disturbing and controversial. He reportedly stated that if he wished to “play God,” he would do so and nothing would happen, further claiming that he decides who lives and who dies in Biafra land.
Those remarks intensified public suspicion and controversy surrounding the killing.
Following the incident, a group of Biafrans in the United Kingdom reportedly sponsored efforts to investigate the murder through the IPO handling the case in Abia State. According to reports, the group spent over ₦300,000 pursuing the investigation before receiving threats from unknown individuals warning them to stop or face consequences.
Despite the intimidation, they continued pushing for answers. However, the investigation eventually collapsed within the corrupt system of the Nigerian Police after the IPO handling the case was transferred.
The new officer assigned reportedly made little or no effort to continue the investigation, and the matter faded away unresolved.
Who was Mazi Ikechukwu Ugwuoha?
Mazi Ikechukwu Ugwuoha, before his unfortunate assassination by masked gunmen, was the National Coordinator of IPOB Homeland.
At about 9:45 p.m. on October 18, 2024, shocking reports emerged about his assassination.
According to information available, Mazi Ikechukwu was returning home from his daily activities when he was ambushed and killed close to his residence, allegedly before the eyes of his wife and children.
Despite repeated threats to his life, Mazi Ikechukwu reportedly resisted every attempt to infiltrate IPOB Homeland under his watch.
He remained loyal to the IPOB leadership structure and the Directorate of State.
Shortly after news of his assassination spread, Simon Ekpa the leader of the Autopilot reportedly reacted on social media.
A controversial message allegedly posted on X (formerly Twitter) read: “One gone, more to go. His juju couldn’t save him.”
Many interpreted the statement as a celebration of the killing and an indirect admission of involvement in the violent targeting of individuals with opposing views within the agitation movement.
As we approach May 30th, we remember these men and every innocent soul lost to violence and internal conflict within the struggle.
May justice prevail over every hidden hand behind the bloodshed of innocent Biafrans.
And may anyone still nurturing plans to shed the blood of fellow Biafrans because of political disagreement or opposing opinions be stopped before more lives are destroyed.
