The British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Catriona Laing, has been asked by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to postpone her scheduled trip to the country’s south-eastern region.
After alerting authorities of an alleged conspiracy to kill Laing during her visit to the South-East, IPOB made the call.
The goal is to assassinate the envoy in the South-East and attribute it to its members, according to the banned organization, which claimed to have obtained the information through its intelligence division, the M-Branch.

The spokesperson for IPOB, Emma Powerful, announced this in a statement on Thursday.
The statement partly read, “The global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra, under the leadership of our Liberator Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu Kanu, wish to advise the British High Commissioner, Catriona Laing to be more conscious of her environment.
“The reason for this sincere security advice is to save her life.
“The leadership of IPOB do hereby advise that Ms Catriona Liang, must as a matter of life and death suspend all her planned activities involving travels within Biafran Territories.”
