The Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu has denied allegations that the group is planning to attack Lagos State.

He also accused the Police Chief of attempting to cause bad blood between Yorubas and Biafrans.

“The public is hereby notified that the allegations that IPOB is plotting to attack Lagos is a LIE. Lagos State CP, Hakeem Odumosu who made the allegation is a former CSO to Tinubu & their intention is to fuel division between Yorubas & Biafrans. It won’t work. This is not 1967!” Kanu stated in a Twitter statement.
It will be recalled as previously reported by Anaedoonline.ng that the Lagos Police Command said there were threats by Oodua Republic and the Independent Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) agitators to disrupt law and order, and attack soft targets in the state.
Speaking on Monday at a stakeholders’ forum on security chaired by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu at the state secretariat, Alausa, the state Police Commissioner, Hakeem Odumosu, asked Lagosians not to panic over the threat.

Reacting, the IPOB leader however said the Police Commissioner lied about the submission.
