The Reformed Indigenous People of Biafra (RE-IPOB) on Sunday said the embattled leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, and its factional group, the Rebranded Indigenous People of Biafra (TRIPOB) have betrayed the Biafran struggle.
The group in a statement by its spokesperson Ikemba Biafra it disowned the duo for collecting money from local and foreign sponsors. The group accused Nnamdi Kanu of transforming the Radio Biafra into personal use for the purpose of acquiring wealth and fame.
“The emergence of TRIPOB is a fall out of the internal wrangling in the IPOB,” it said. “Members and officers of IPOB loyal to one of the spokesmen of IPOB, Emma Nmezu, are behind TRIPOB. There is nothing actually different between IPOB and TRIPOB. This is why we wielded the big stick to sack them to save the Biafran struggle. We urge all pro-Biafra groups to remain calm and cease any contact with Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB or TRIPOB and await further information from RE-IPOB.”
The group reiterated its resolve to reveal leaders of TRIPOB on Monday, August 29, saying it would also make public the list of its negotiation team.
