The Federal Government says it is aware of sources of funding of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and is taking steps to block them.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed disclosed this on Tuesday when he appeared on a live TV programme “Good Morning Nigeria” on the Nigeria Television Authority (NTA).
“Terrorists do not publish where their funding are coming from. But we know the countries that are supporting IPOB.
“We know the sources of their funding though I am not at liberty to disclose them here.

“We are taking steps to block them and we are also taking a lot of diplomatic actions in respect of the countries that are supporting them”.
The Minister said that most of the countries supporting the group were doing so based on ignorance.
He said they had been hoodwinked to believing that “Nigeria is a country where Muslims persecute Christians” and a country where there is genocide.
“As we speak today, IPOB has written letters to many Governments outside Nigeria, international parliaments sending fake and cloned videos claiming there is genocide in Nigeria.
The minister charged the international community not to adopt double standard in dealing with IPOB and to be more diligent before making any pronouncements.
He said what the countries would never accept in their territories, should not be condoned or encouraged in Nigeria.
The minister justified the actions of the military for declaring IPOB a terrorist group as well as its proscription by the South-East governors.
“There are a lot of arguments regarding the constitutionality of the action of the military and the South East governors.
“People must realise that we are dealing with issue of national security and I do not think that the military and the governors should fold their arms while the country is set ablaze.
“I have heard a lot of comments as to whether the military has the right to declare IPOB, a terrorist group
“What the military has done is to catalogue all the activities of IPOB, which are not different from that of terrorists groups,” he said.
Mohammed said IPOB set up a para-military organisation, a parallel military group, Biafra Secret Service and Biafra National Guard.
He said the group were attacking army installations and soldiers at check points, extorting money from innocent people.
“IPOB activities are not jokes. If there have not been the proactive actions on the part of the military and the South East governors, there would have been retaliations from other regions and the entire country will be set on fire.
“We cannot be talking of semantics or procedure when the nation is moving towards crises and precipices.
It is only in a Banana Republic that you can see non state actors doing what IPOB is doing.
“The actions by the military and the governors should be seen from the perspective of ensuring internal security and averting chaos,” he said.
The minister reiterated his position that IPOB was being sponsored by the association of disgruntled politicians and treasury looters to discredit President Muhammad Buhari”s Administration.
He admonished the media and opinion leaders to be circumspect in their publications and discussions on IPOB in order not to aggravate the crises the more.
“The kind of comments and headlines in the media as well as comments from certain quarters are the types that give oxygen and confidence to the IPOB.
“They must exercise restraint because the only reason we practice our profession or be a commentator is simply because there is peace in the country,” he said.

how can you be beating somebody and crying at the same time?
Igbos are no longer miscreants, they are now terrorists but still curry support and sympathy from foreign nations.
the stupidity of zoo cabinet will gradually lead them to arm embargo and travel ban.
Nonetheless we are still dancing python atilogwu

Lai no need to shiver now,
The international community will soon treat your fuckup as well as who you represent.

chicken is coming home to roast.
Trump should be alerted to include a particular group in the list of banned terrorist cachment

Nwodosis:

So you've agreed that they have resources?

even slavery is resources(man power resources) like the one kanu is taping now

ChangetheChange:


Israel is the main supporter of IPOB

And nothing the Nigeria Government can do about Isreal support for IPOB

The Israeli Military force that defeated 5 Arab Countries that are more powerful than the Nigerian Military in just 6 days is 100 times better and more equipped than the Python Dance infested Nigerian Military

Nigeria Government should focus ther energy on Boko Haram and Recession, they should not play near where a Nuclear Armed Isreal is talking

All these attache by force, stop dragging Israel into your mess,
The results of the DNA test should humble the lost tribe by now

“They must exercise restraint because the only reason we practice our profession or be a commentator is simply because there is peace in the country.”

We must all realize this fact. And let me add; the only reason we post what we post on NL, FB and other social media is simply because there is peace in the country and there are still ICT facilities.

liar Muhammad should mentions the name of the countries or he should get out
