Outlawed Igbo separatist group, Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has threatened to deal with the senator representing Imo North Senatorial District, Frank Ibezim, and the lawmakers representing Owerri and Orlu zones of the state if the the federal government goes ahead to set up an Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp in the state or any other part of the South-East.
IPOB made the threat in a statement issued on Thursday by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, following rumours that the Nigerian government was planning to establish an IDPs skills acquisition center in Imo State.
In the statement, IPOB said it categorically rejects any attempt to set up such a camp in any part of Biafra land and would deal ruthlessly with lawmakers from the region if they fail to oppose such moves which it says is a covert operation to import terrorists into the South-East by the Nigerian government.
