Information Minister Lai Mohammed, who
stated this yesterday after the Federal
Executive Council (FEC) meeting, added that
IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu’s belligerent
attitude and the violence the group
employed could not be overlooked by any
government.The Federal Government spoke yesterday of
an international dimension to the
Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) crisis.
It accused the United Kingdom of doing
very little about its complaint that Biafra
Radio was broadcasting from its territory.
Besides, said the government, the bulk of
IPOB’s funding from its diaspora supporters
is sent through France.
Information Minister Lai Mohammed, who
stated this yesterday after the Federal
Executive Council (FEC) meeting, added that
IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu’s belligerent
attitude and the violence the group
employed could not be overlooked by any
government.
The minister said: “Let me tell you, the
financial headquarters is in France, we
know, but you see, can you as a
government stop sending money to your
parents? You have to block the sources of
finance that is what I said recently.
“It is incontrovertible that some people in
the diaspora contribute money to IPOB. We
know this as a fact. Again, there are a few
knotty diplomatic issues which you need to
skip. For instance, who does not know that
the IPOB internal radio is located in
London? We know the diplomatic moves
we have been taking and approaching the
UK, all the damage it has done; but they
don’t see it that way. For them, it is about
freedom of expression.
“If we have a person in Nigeria openly
soliciting arms to come and fight the UK,
what would you think of it. Would you
consider that freedom of expression? And
this is a country that also has had a history;
what did the Irish Republican Army (IRA) do
to be labeled a terrorist organization saharareporters.com/2017/09/21/nigerian-government-slams-france-uk-roles-ipob-crisis
