ABUJA, Nigeria – Nigeria's military has named the Indigenous People of Biafra a terrorist organization, targeting a movement that 50 years ago tried to create a state for the Igbo people.

Friday's statement comes amid rising calls for secession in the southeast. Leader Nnamdi Kanu was freed earlier this year following a 2015 arrest that led to protests.

Nigeria's military claims the movement has formed a secret service and national guard.

The movement could not immediately be reached for comment.

The movement in May marked 50 years after civil war saw more than one million people die trying to create a state for the Igbo people. The Igbo are one of Nigeria's largest ethnic groups but remain largely marginalized in politics.

Nigeria also faces the threat of Boko Haram and Niger Delta militants.

Very good news indeed.

Even if Fox News got it wrong.

The world should call this group what they are, which is a terror group. People should look up the definition of a terror group before defending IPOB, and the same people go online and check out the Video's of these IPOB members going from one bus to another, looking for Northerners to kill, while armed with crude weapons.

And then come to tell me they belong to a choir group, and not a terror cell.

Now to the writer above me and Fox News. The IPOB is not a Separatist movement. It is a Terrorist group that was was using fear, and violence to strike fear into those not in support of their agenda's. They visited violence to not just none Easterners, but also Easterners that did not share their sense of creating an organization destined to lead millions of Igbo's to their deaths.

My university room mate, who is a successful lawyer in Port-Harcourt, and an Abian native, is getting threats of death, from some of his town folks whom he told in a town hall meeting that they should not embrace Biafranism.

Catalan independence movement is a Separatist movement, that started as a political movement in 1922 in Spain. And it is still in existence today,fighting for the independence of Catalonia from Spain.

Catalan independence movement leaders did not call Spain a Zoo, neither did they call the people from Catalonia pigs. And they definitely did not boast that they will burn down Spain if they don't get their independence(remember this group has been existing since 1922)

Scotland is also another Country in the United Kingdom that wants her independence. But do you see them going from one bus to another searching for people from England to kill? common sense should prevail in this matter.

Violence gets nobody anywhere.

Now to a writer below, that asked if i am more informed than Fox News that called IPOB a Separatist movement. And my answer is YES, i am moreinformed than them. Fox News is owned by Keith Rupert Murdoch, An Australian-American and the Fox News is in the United States. While me, i am a Nigerian, that is very much aware of what is happening in my homeland.

Just like i cannot be British than the Queen, and cannot be more Catholic than the Pope. No Australian can be more Nigerian than me.

IPOB CAN NO LONGER BE REFERED TO AS A SEPARATIST GROUP FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:

(1) Formation of bss, to serve what purpose?
(2)Boasting to stop elections in Nigeria,which translate to an attempt to create parralel government

(3) Always daring and confronting the Nigeria armed forces even when the armed forces are minding their business.

(4)Always making ungided and inciting statements like we'll burn down Nigeria to harshes. Kanu told his supporters to burn Nigeria if arrested.
(5)Violent acts , i.e searching inside vehicles inorder to kill a particular group in the country. Etc

No separatist group behaves the way ipob has been coducting itself in this country.
No soveregn coutry in the world can condone what ipob is doing in Nigeria,and that is why the Nigeria govt woke up to curtail ipob excesses by labeling it a terror group.

The bolded part is particularly interesting.

When dey(BUHARI/BURATAI) are busy trying to add igbos to their ISIS and Boko Haram, where we dont belong ofcourse, read this part of the article.

IPOB represents all Biafra ethnic group including the Igbos.

See were they nailed it. They took time to emphasize the plight of the Igbos in Nigeria.

A well balance but brief article. That is how journalism is suppose to be.

I am sure the chaps at fox news are more educated and more discerning than you to know what a terrorist group is or not .Below is an international ranking of a terror group
