IPOB today said no amount of intimidation would make it surrender its fight for an independent Biafra nation.
The recently classified terrorist organization described the proscription of the group by the South-East governors as well as its declaration 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.
According to PUNCN, IPOB 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.
