Following its categorisation as a terrorist organisation by the Defence headquarters, the Indigenous People of Biafra has said that no intimidation would make it to surrender its fight for an independent Biafra nation, PUNCH reports.
It described the proscription of the group by the South-East governors as well as the declaration of it as a terrorist organisation by the Defence Headquarters as a nullity.
It maintained that only a referendum to determine a sovereign state of Biafra would assuage the group.
In a statement made available to journalists in Awka, Anambra State by the group’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, it wondered why herdsmen that had several times wreaked havoc in different parts of the country had not been declared a terrorist organisation.

It accused the Federal Government of having a secret agenda to exterminate the Igbo race, adding that the Abia State Commissioner of Police was playing a rehashed script.
The group said “We the family of Indigenous People of Biafra and its leadership worldwide under the command and leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu wish to place on record that the newly appointed Commissioner of Police posted to Abia State is trying very hard to please his Northern Arewa masters by conducting himself in a manner that is clear to all, as complimenting the murderous scripts of the Nigerian Army and Igbo governors as handed down to them by Abuja cabal.”
