Uba is the senator representing Anambra South Senatorial District, while Azubogu is the member representing Nnewi North, South and Ekwusigo Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives.
BrandNewsDay reports that IPOB made this disclosure in a statement by the Biafran group issued by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, IPOB accused the Department of State Services (DSS), the Nigerian Army, the Nigeria Police Special Squad, the SARS, STS, IRT as well as “treacherous politicians and their sponsored gangs” of masterminding the attacks on the politicians.
Part of the statement made available to Ripples Nigeria on Wednesday, said “the Federal Government of Nigeria is responsible for the failed assassination of Senator Ifeanyi Uba and Chris Azubogu.”
“We are also aware of plans and the intention of the Nigerian Federal Government to use the assassination of the two prominent Igbo politicians to blackmail IPOB and Eastern Security Network, ESN,” the statement said.
“We, the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, under the command and leadership of the great liberator, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, again condemn all the state-sponsored attacks and killings going on in Biafra territory.
“IPOB wishes to state unequivocally that those responsible for the criminal activities have a mission to blackmail IPOB and ESN operatives.
“The recent attacks on Anambra politicians namely Senator Ifeanyi Ubah and House of Representatives member, Chris Azubogu, were masterminded by the DSS in collaboration with other security agencies to heighten the insecurity in Biafraland.

“The attacks on high profile individuals especially politicians in the southeast are part of their blackmailing gimmicks against IPOB and ESN.
”It is another deceptive way to attract global attention so as to justify their premeditated launching of a full military assault on innocent Biafrans.
“The Nigerian security agencies coordinated those high profile attacks in tandem with a few treacherous politicians and their sponsored gangs.
“The attacks were the numerous ways Nigeria government is working hard to blackmail and demonize IPOB for seeking legal referendum but we will continue to expose them. We have trusted intelligence officers in our M-Branch, who always nip their nefarious plans and activities in the bud.
“M-Branch intercepted the plan where Nigeria security agents were planning to attack politicians, businessmen, religious leaders, traditional rulers, and PGs and blame it on IPOB family members.
“We are, therefore, advising Biafrans, especially politicians and businessmen to provide themselves adequate security because the Nigerian Federal Government may end up assassinating some of them in a bid to blackmail IPOB.
“IPOB is out to protect our people and not to kill them and we will remain so until Biafra freedom is totally achieved.”
