The Indigenous People of Biafra, or IPOB, have requested that Google take down their YouTube channels.
Lai Mohammed, the minister of information and culture, based his argument on IPOB’s status as a prohibited group.
Mohammed made the call on Thursday in Abuja while hosting a group of Google representatives.
He named a number of them, including Asa Biafra TV, Biafra Digest TV, Umu Biafra TV, and Biafra Digest.

The minister bemoaned the fact that some of these networks broadcast in local languages and dialects to avoid being regulated.
“Your platform is a platform of choice for IPOB, a proscribed terrorist group.
“We implore you not to make your platform available to them for their acts of violence and destabilization.
“We hope you will cooperate with us as well as our security agencies in this direction,” he said.
