The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has issued a stern warning to politicians and leaders of Igbo extraction to cease using their leader, Nnamdi Kanu’s name for personal or political gain.
In a press statement on Monday, IPOB spokesman Emma Powerful alleged that some Igbo leaders were exploiting Kanu’s detention to advance their political ambitions, while secretly collaborating with the Federal Government to keep him in custody.
IPOB emphasized that Kanu’s incarceration was a result of his fight for Biafran freedom, not Nigerian politics. The group commended genuine efforts by some Igbo politicians working for Kanu’s release and vowed to expose those using IPOB’s successes for personal gain.
