‘Your lies, blackmail will not distract us’, IPOB tells Nigerian govt, security agencies

Proscribed Igbo secessionist group, Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has told the Nigerian government and security agencies that no amount of lies and blackmail peddled against it will distract the group from achieving its objectives.

The Biafra agitators, in a statement on Wednesday, accused the Nigerian government and its security agencies of working with criminals to blackmail it because it refused to give up on Biafra restoration agitation.

The statement issued by IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, allege that it had uncovered that security agents were the ones who set INEC offices ablaze as well as carrying out other heinous activities in the South-East, only to turn around and accuse IPOB and its militia arm, the Eastern Security Network (ESN).
