The Indigenous People of Biafra has denied reports claiming that some members of the group were arrested with AK-47 rifles in Delta State by the Nigeria Police.Reacting, IPOB’s Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, in a statement on Thursday stated that those arrested were not members of the group.
“We are not interested in trying to prove our innocence because we already know the plans of the Nigerian security agencies and their bitterness towards us. “The fact remains that our non-violent philosophy in our bid to restore the Biafra Republic has not changed, and any time that position is changed, we shall make it known to everyone.
“It’s a proven and incontrovertible fact that we are not violent despite being wrongly tagged a terrorist organization by the Nigeria Government to stop us.
