Govt has infiltrated our ranks with uneducated individuals – IPOB

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) said some ‘miscreants’ have infiltrated its ranks.

It accused the Federal Government and Anambra State government of recruiting uneducated individual into its fold to label the group as violent.

IPOB was reacting to an incident in Ekwulobia on Sunday where some youths dressed in IPOB uniform and waving Biafra flags tried to force themselves into St. Joseph’s Church in the town where Governor Willie Obiano was worshiping at the time.

In a statement on Monday, the group’s media and publicity secretary, Emma Powerful, IPOB said the government mobilised the violent people, in order to ensure arrest of its members.

The statement read in part, “IPOB leaders and members are very intelligent people who cannot involve themselves in any act of violence. It is crystal clear to all and sundry that IPOB under Nnamdi Kanu remains nonviolent in its pursuit for Biafra freedom and cannot change our methods of peaceful approach towards the restoration of Biafra. The election boycott in Anambra come November this year remains, but cannot cause any violence.

“We are aware that some politicians and Nigeria security employed some uneducated individuals and groups in the society to harass the general public in the name of IPOB members. Some government contractors have printed IPOB t- shirts and Biafra flag with huge amount of money to be shared to the hungry youths to claim to be IPOB members under Nnamdi Kanu.

“We advise the general public to beware of fake IPOB members, who were paid by politicians to cause confusion in Anambra and states in Biafraland.”
