Biafra: IPOB push back against 'fake groups'


The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB),
under the leadership of Mr. Nnamdi
Kanu, said yesterday that no amount of
what they called a ‘divide and rule tactic’
by the federal government would stop
their struggle for the restoration of the
Biafra state.
The group accused the federal
government and security agents of
creating fake groups and christening
them “Indigenous People of Biafra”,
under various titles such as the
Rebranded Indigenous People of Biafra
(RE-IPOB), and The Reformed Peoples of
Biafra (TRI-POB), saying that they would
soon come up with more groups.
A statement from the IPOB
spokespersons Dr. Clifford Iroanya and
Mr. Emm Mmezu noted that those
thinking that IPOB was a pushover would
be disappointed, claiming that such
parties want to cause a rift in the Igbo-
speaking part of Biafra and the people of
Ijaw. The spokesmen said that Nnamdi
Kanu had already predicted the creation
of new fake IPOB groups.
“We shall make them understand that no
amount of divide and rule tactic will
prevail. Buhari is playing out a script we
already knew he would. On August 10,
2015, the creation of new fake IPOB
groups was predicted by our leader, so
we are prepared for whatever federal
government and Ohaneze Ndigbo
leadership will come up with. However,
the problem for federal government is
lack of brinkmanship in the area of
propaganda,” the spokemen stated.
