The Nigerian Government has raised alarm saying the Indegeneous people of Biafra, IPOB, has over 50,000 Paramilitary force and they kill civilians and security agents.
They warned the Yoruba Nation Agitators to steer clear from collaborating with IPOB in any form adding that while doing so no one will take them serious.
According to a statement signed by Presidential media aid, Garba Shehu the Presidency warned that the Yoruba Secessionist group should stay clear from collaborating with IPOB.
Saying that it is a terrorist group that kills security operatives and civilians.
The statement reads:
“IPOB is a designated terrorist organisation. It has now publicly revealed a 50,000 strong paramilitary organisation. It regularly murders security services and innocent civilians, with a significant uptick of violent attacks this year. And it is currently attempting to hold Nigerian states hostage with orders to stay at home under threat of terror.”
“Without doubt, Nigerians and the entire world will judge Yoruba Nation by the company it keeps.”
“No one can take seriously this organisation if it continues its IPOB association. When their allies systematically trample human rights, it raises sober questions about their claims to uphold the values of the UN. The cooperation is a worrying development, once parsed with Yoruba Nation’s increasingly violent rallies in Nigeria.”
“Actions and associations speak louder than words. Yoruba Nation’s talk of human rights promotion must therefore be ignored.”
