Image result for IPOB remains a proscribed group, says Ebonyi


The group a week ago protested in Abakaliki against the suspended  Ruga settlement policy for herdsmen and other policies of Federal Government.   The Ebonyi State Government insists the Indigenous People of Biafra remains an unlawful organisation and warned the group against organising any activity in the state.  In a statement on Monday by the Secretary to the State Government, Dr Kenneth Ugbala, and the Commissioner for Information and State Orientation, Chief Kenneth Uhuo, the state government advised parents and guardians not to allow their children and wards to engage in any unauthorised gathering.
According to the state government, the security agencies have been told to deal with any individual or group found to be involved in any unlawful gathering in the state.
The statement said all Igbo’s grievances would be addressed if they discussed peacefully with the Federal Government.
The state government said any individual or group in the state having any genuine reason to protest should do so through the  South-East Governors’ Forum and Ohanaeze Ndigbo.  
The statement read, ”The attention of the general public is hereby drawn to the  Federal High Court order, which has proscribed the Indigenous People of Biafra since September 2017 and classified it as a terrorist organisation in Nigeria.
“By that order, IPOB has become an unlawful organisation and all its activities become criminal within the provisions of the Terrorism (Prevention) Act of 2011. mbers of the public are therefore warned that any participation in the activities of the organisation, under whatever guise has become an offence punishable under various laws of the country.”

The embattled separatist according to one of his brothers, Prince Kanu Meme, has asked his disciples to trust and comply with directives from the Directorate of State (DOS). Boasting his belief in the separatist movement’s administrative structure, Kanu said “I’m DOS and DOS is me”.  Naija News understands that the DOS, headed by diaspora-based Chika Edoziem has been contending with authority issues since Kanu’s arrest in Kenya in June 2021. It has been observed that IPOB is in disintegration following Nnamdi Kanu’s rearrest and detention. The present situation of the Biafran movement can be likened to that of sheep without a shepherd. However, Kanu in a conversation with his sib...

IPOB: The Nigerian Civil War, commonly known as the Biafran War

  THE HISTORY OF BIAFRA AND NIGERIA WAR  Israel, Nigeria and the Biafra civil war    The Nigerian Civil War , commonly known as the Biafran War (6 July 1967 – 15 January 1970), was a war fought between the government of Nigeria and the secessionist state of Biafra. Biafra represented nationalist aspirations of the Igbo people, whose leadership felt they could no longer coexist with the Northern-dominated federal government. The conflict resulted from political, economic, ethnic, cultural and religious tensions which preceded Britain's formal decolonization of Nigeria from 1960 to 1963.
