The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has described as “unfortunate” the fact that the U.S. does not see the Indigenous People Of Biafra, IPOB, as a terrorist organisation.
The minister disclosed this during an interview on BBC Focus Africa on Wednesday, September 27.
According to Mr. Mohammed, the act and utterances of IPOB, led by Nnamdi Kanu, were acts of terrorists.
“The acts and utterances of IPOB were acts and utterances of terrorists. For instance Nnamdi Kanu was caught on tape saying that they want Biafra and not peacefully but by force and that if they don’t get Biafra, Somalia will be a paradise with the kind of mayhem,’’ he said.

Responding to a question on how a man without a weapon can be proclaimed a terrorist, the minister said: ‘’This is also the same man who opens a safe for arms and the same man who set up his own Biafra national gathering, his own Biafra secret service and the same man who actually attacked army formations’’.
Also in the interview, Mr. Lai Mohammed was asked what his take was, concerning fact that the U.S. does not see IPOB as a terrorist organisation.
“That’s very unfortunate,” the minister said. “Because if countries decide to pick and choose which organisations are terrorists and which are not bearing in mind that terrorism has no boundaries, I think what we should do is, every country should work together to ensure that terrorism does not strive.”
