The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has washed its hands off the purported declaration of the Biafra Republic by some alleged members of the group in Finland.
Dissociating IPOB from the event, the pro-Biafran group attributed the development to infiltrators, who were out to defraud the public.
Emma Powerful, the IPOB spokesperson, urged the people to ignore the declaration, adding that those behind the event in Finland are the brains behind for state of insecurity pervading the South-east.
Powerful also accused those behind the declaration of intending to divide the South-east.
He insisted no other declaration was necessary since the late Fim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, the apex Igbo leader did so in 1967, adding that any other such declaration is fake.
According to the statement: “The noble family of IPOB led by the leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu wishes to disassociate itself from the purported Biafra second declaration by an infamous no-name group. The so-called declaration is a scam. There is no room for another Biafra declaration besides the one our eternal leader, Dim Odimegwu Ojukwu, declared in 1967.
“IPOB wishes to commend responsible media organisations and social media bloggers in Nigeria and in the Diaspora that didn’t give attention to the mockery of the Biafra struggle by infiltrators in Finland and elsewhere.
“However, it is imperative to inform the international community, Biafrans, friends of Biafra, and lovers of Biafran freedom that Biafra had been declared by our eternal leader late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu in 1967.”
