It’s Official! Nigerian Military Brands Nnamdi Kanu’s IPOB “Terrorist Organisation†by Brookey55(m) : 5:21 pm |
The Nigerian military has “officially†branded the pro-Biafra separatist group, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), as a militant “terrorist organization,†further urging parents to dissuade their wards from joining the group. The military made the declaration in a statement issued by the Director of Defence Information, John Enenche on Friday, September 15, 2017.
IPOB and its leader, Nnamdi Kanu are campaigning for an independent country of Biafra made up of ethnic Igbos. Although they had said their campaign was non-violent, Mr. Kanu said this week that that stance would be reviewed, accusing the military of attacking unharmed members of his organisation. However, Enenche listed reasons for the declaration to include, the formation of a Biafra Secret Service, claimed formation of Biafra National Guard, unauthorised blocking of public access roads; extortion of money from innocent civilians at illegal roadblocks, and militant possession and use of weapons (stones, molotov cocktails, machetes and broken bottles among others) on a military patrol on September 10, 2017.
