The Ohanaeze president however berated the federal government for declaring the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra IPOB as terrorists Organization when their activities do not merit them such status moreover the same government overlooked the activities of more dangerous armed militant groups like Fulani herdsmen whom they merely branded criminals.
Nwodo said, “The declaration of IPOB as a terrorist organisation is in my view hurried, unfair, and not in conformity with the intendment of the law. Whereas I am not completely in agreement with some of the methods of IPOB like its inappropriate and divisive broadcast, the uncontested evidence given by the Attorney General of the Federation in an interlocutory action claiming that IPOB attempted and/or actually snatched guns from law enforcement agents are, if proven, merely criminal offences.
