Reacting to the arrest of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB ) members, Publicity Secretary of the group, Mr Emma Powerful, in a statement, said those arrested were not members of the organization.
He said: “It has come to the notice of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB, though not by surprise, claims by the Nigeria Police that some persons allegedly arrested with AK-47 riffles in Delta State are IPOB members.

“We do not need to dissipate energy trying to prove our innocence because we already know the antecedents of the Nigeria Security agencies and their bitterness towards us, however, we wish to put the record straight for the sake of the gullible, and perhaps innocent Biafrans the security agents want to hang or waste unjustifiably by branding them IPOB members.
“The fact remains that our non-violent philosophy in our quest to restore Biafra Republic has not changed, and any time we feel like changing that position we shall make it open and also tell the world our next strategy. Our Leader, Nnamdi Kanu has continuously made it clear that Biafra will be actualised without firing a shot. And for now, that position has not changed.
“IPOB remains a peaceful movement seeking to restore Biafra without violence. We are not into any arms struggle. If we were to pick up arms against the Nigeria government, thousands of our members killed in cold blood by Nigerian security agents would have defended themselves instead of dying like sacrificial lambs.
“If at all any person (s) were arrested with AK-47 in Delta State, those who arrested them should try to establish their true identity. No IPOB family member bears arms for any reason. We know of course that this will not be the first time the Nigerian security agencies will arrest people with or without gun, claim they had guns and try to link them with IPOB all in their desperation to disrepute an unarmed and a peaceful movement.

“Our global record speaks for us. IPOB has never been associated with violence or arms struggle anywhere in the world. The world is today listening to us because it is a proven and incontrovertible fact that we are not violent despite being wrongly tagged terrorist organisation by the Nigeria Government to stop us.
“We, therefore, want to advise Nigeria Security agencies to stop making jest of themselves by trying to associate IPOB with violence. They should try another tact because this one can never fly. Come to think of it, if IPOB were to be armed, what shall we be doing with 13 AK-47?
“If we need to fight with guns and bullets we know where to go for it and get the quantity we need. But we do not need arms and ammunition to achieve Biafra. Nigeria has already been dismantled through the consistent expositions of our great Leader. What remains is the burial of the expired British contraption which will soon take place at the end of the global coronavirus pandemic.
“It’s very shameful that instead of fishing out the killer Fulani herdsmen slaughtering Biafrans in their homes and farms with AK47, the hypocritical Nigeria Security agencies are rather looking for ways to present the innocent people as killers. If the oppressed peoples who the Nigeria security agents have refused to protect against rampaging Fulani herdsmen decided to take their destinies in their hands by perhaps disarming their invaders, they should not link them with IPOB.
“For the umpteenth time, we wish to restate that IPOB is a peaceful movement. Those arrested in Delta with guns are not our members. Again, the suspects should not be tagged IPOB members just to prove a non-existent point. The world is watching. And all the atrocities against innocent Biafrans will one day be accounted for,” he added

The world know dat IPOB weapon of mass decimation is unadulterated gospel of truth not AK47 or armed struggle.

Ipob should show proof the men arrested are not ipob members and Ipob should remember they can't control all its members action.

-You won’t be human if you agree with every idea or person, but your denigration of Ojukwu and Nnamdi Kanu - the Internet will never forget it. The fact you’re from Mbaise and yet know very little about the intrigues of Biafra says something about your upbringing.

-Were you born and raised in Yorooba land?

The fear of the Nigerian Army who are only good at fighting unarmed people

Its not IPOB that should prove, it is those who allege that should prove.

Nigerian government is making a mistake by thinking people will believe their narrative.
The last thing IPOB will do is to Danish their image and reputation which is actually what the Nigerian government happy about.

It's disgraceful that the organization labeled terrorist organization fly their flag and travel any part of the world with all their insignia.

Police said they are Ipob members, they will parade them in the public with guns and reporters will ask them question abi? What if they say they are Ipob members, what next? I suppose Ipob has a register with all members info.

Ipob should proof what ? ...it's the police that is meant to proof that the men are members of ipob and acting for ipob

They have already proven you and the unprofessional police wrong on the issue but you decided to believe in the Nigeria bloody Lai Mo police.




Keep it up !

If those men lying in the mud were armed, your army won't survive the encounter.

It took the help of Britain, America, Egypt, USSR to save your Fathers in 1967

Indegenes of Umunede in Delta protested against Fulani herdsmen killings and the police turned them into IPOB.

Ipob are peaceful

We all know
