The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has lamented the alleged unfair treatment the Igbos currently receive in Nigeria, and said the panacea is for them to have their own sovereign country.
This was continued in a statement by the group’s spokesperson, Emma Powerful, on Sunday.
In the statement, Powerful lamented that security agencies attacked their members in a peaceful protest in Aba, Abia State.
The statement partly read, “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
