IPOB Is A Terrorist Group Stockpiling Bombs And Weapons – Presidency

The presidency on Wednesday reiterated its stand that the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is a terrorist organization.

The presidency stated that the IPOB group led by Nnamdi Kanu has no good intention for the country, further accusing the pro-Biafra group of stockpiling weapons and bombs.

Anaedoonline.ng reports that the statement on Wednesday is targeted majorly at Amnesty International which was accused by the presidency of providing support for IPOB under the umbrella of humanitarian and rights activities.

“IPOB murder Nigerian citizens. They kill police officers and military personnel and set government property on fire.”

“Now, they have amassed a substantial stockpile of weapons and bombs across the country. Were this group in a western country, you would not expect to hear Amnesty’s full-throated defence of their actions.”

“Instead, there would be silence or mealy-mouthed justification of western governments’ action to check the spread of “terrorism,” the statement reads in part.

The latest declaration syncs with a recent publication by this online news platform which reported that the presidency has described members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) as terrorists.
