Minister of Information and Culture, Lai
Mohammed, has called on Nigeria’s international partners to designate the
Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, a terrorist organisation.
The Minister made the call in his
article, entitled ‘’Thwarting Terrorism in Nigeria’’, which appeared in a US
newspaper on Thursday. He argues that IPOB’s actions
qualify the group as a terrorist organization in most jurisdictions.
On Sept 20, 2017, the Federal Government of Nigeria proscribed IPOB, which has been agitating for a separate state in the South-East. He makes clear that the current administration will not make the same mistake as the previous in allowing terrorists to capture any part of Nigeria.
