IPOB Alleges Plans to Use Its Clone to Cause Havoc in Nigeria

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) today alleged of an ongoing plan to use its clone to cause havoc in order to portray it as a violent organisation.

It stated that it has continued to maintain its non-violent stance in its struggle for Biafra independence.

IPOB specifically accused the Department of State Service (DSS) of allegedly using fronts to recruit people to be trained in Igbo language to enable them sing Biafra songs, put on IPOB T-shirts and launch attacks on army barracks and police stations.

In a statement issued by the organisation Head of Media and Publicity, Emma Powerful, IPOB said it got intelligence report on the plan to clone it following a failed attempt to recruit one of its members as Igbo teacher to help train the group assembled in Lagos to serve as IPOB clone.

“The DSS has offered some elder statesmen, politicians and youths from Igbo extraction huge sums of money to recruit some Igbo teachers to come to Lagos and teach some non-IPOB groups recruited by the All Progressives Congress (APC) government,” the statement alleged.

“The Igbo language will be used for Biafra songs, they will put on IPOB T-shirts and attack army barracks, police stations and cause destruction in our land in the name of retaliation of the killing in Uzo Uwani Enugu State.

“The Igbo teacher whom they approached and promised to pay N70, 000 per hour refused to accept the offer because he is an IPOB member, but right now, so many people have accepted the offer and traveled to Lagos for the job,” the pro-Biafra group alleged.

It alleged that the aim of using its clone to cause havoc was part of the desperate effort by the DSS and the federal government to hang terrorist tag on the neck of IPOB “in a bid to kill or jail our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu for life.

“We are calling on our people to be careful of the job they accept to do because the President Muhammadu Buhari and APC government never meant well for Biafrans.”

Meanwhile the pro-Biafra organisation has restated its position on the provocative massacre of Ukpabi Nimbo people by Fulani herdsmen, saying it has no intention or plan to attack northerners residing in the South-east in the name of reprisal.

“We are forced to repeat this position publicly due to pressures from elders and leaders.

We are not a violent organisation; we are a peace loving mass movement with branches in 98 countries desirous of freedom from a ruthless, tyrannical oppressor who has held us down for decades.
