“Nigeria no longer wants Igbo, thus we must leave.” -IPOB

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has bemoaned the allegedly unfair treatment the Igbos currently endure in Nigeria and said that having their own independent nation will be the answer.

Igbos are not wanted in the country, according to recent events, according to IPOB, which also claimed that security personnel attacked its members during a peaceful rally in Aba, Abia state.

The group’s spokesperson, Emma Powerful, made this known in a statement on Sunday.

Powerful complained in the statement that although security forces permitted Shi’ites to demonstrate peacefully, they were attacked in Aba, Abia State.

The statement read in part, “We are surprised that the Nigerian government and its security agencies, especially their army and police allowed the Shiite Islamic group who protested peacefully twice in Abuja to do so without humiliation or attack, but murdered IPOB members who were protesting peacefully in Aba, Abia State for asking for the unconditional release of their leader, Kanu on the 3rd of April 2023.

“It is now on record that Ndigbo are not wanted in Nigeria due to the hatred shown to us. We must organise ourselves immediately and leave Nigeria for the other nationalities who are allowed to act freely in Nigeria.”
