Igbos No Longer Wanted In Nigeria – IPOB Laments

…Says They must leave

The proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has raised an alarm over the unfair treatment of the Igbos in Nigeria, and said the only way out is for them to have their own sovereign country.

IPOB’s spokesman, Emma Powerful made this known in a a statement issued on Sunday, April 9, 2023.

Powerful said the recent happenings across the country have shown that Igbos are no longer wanted in the country , where different attacks were meted out on them at different points.

Adding that its members were also attacked by the security agents during a peaceful protest in Aba, Abia state.

Recently, several IPOB sympathizers protesting for Nnamdi Kanu’s release were reportedly killed in Aba by a combined security team in Aba.

He further lamented that security agencies allowed Shi’ites to protest peacefully but attacked its members in Aba, Abia State.

He said; “We are surprise that the Nigeria 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 organize ourselves immediately and leave Nigeria for the other nationalities who are allowed to act freely in Nigeria.”

He noted that the actions of the Nigerian government had shown that Igbos were not wanted in the country.
