The UK Government has announced that it will not grant asylum to members of terrorist groups in the Eastern part of Nigeria like IPOB.

2.2 Exclusion
2.2.1 IPOB is proscribed as a terrorist group by the Nigerian government, and members of the group and its paramilitary wing – the Eastern Security Network (created in December 2020) – have reportedly committed human rights violations in Nigeria (see Indigenous People of ‘Biafra’ (IPOB) and various media articles in Activities and Clashes between state and IPOB)

2.2.2 MASSOB has been banned, but is not a proscribed terrorist group in Nigeria. It too has reportedly been involved in violent clashes with the authorities (see Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of ‘Biafra’).

2.2.3 If a person has been involved with IPOB (and/or an affiliated group), MASSOB or any other ‘Biafran’ group that incites or uses violence to achieve its aims, decision makers must consider whether one (or more) of the exclusion clauses under the Refugee Convention is applicable. Persons who commit human rights violations must not be granted asylum.

2.2.4 If the person is excluded from the Refugee Convention, they will also be excluded from a grant of humanitarian protection.

2.2.5 For further guidance on the exclusion clauses and restricted leave, see the Asylum Instructions on Exclusion under Articles 1F and 33(2) of the Refugee Convention, Humanitarian Protection and Restricted Leave.

While they described IPOB as a terrorist group which has been proscribed by the Nigerian government, MASSOB was designated as 'banned' but not a terrorist group.

Congrats, IPOB

The British government has banned members of the Indigenous Poeple of Biafra (Ipob), the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) and all its affiliates seeking asylum in their country.

Their decision is based on the 1951 Refugee Convention, which prohibits anyone who violates basic human rights.

In a statement issued by the British government, they explained that the Nigerian government had named Ipob and its Eastern Security Network (ESN) as terrorists.

They said the group had fought several times against Nigeria's independence.

They also described Massob as a banned group by the Nigerian government but did not label them as terrorists like Ipob and said they had fought against the Nigerian government several times.

As a result, they said, "anyone associated with the Ipob, the massob or any other group that wants independence in Biafra has a relationship that has caused chaos and that the person will not receive the so-called 'asylum' protection in their country.

A verified account lying outrightly on a report that said nothing of such

This is just a report that quoted Nigerian newspapers and ipob/Massob claims extensively

This is a deliberate attempt to make it look like UK government is actively against IPOB

These 3 conditions must be met for granting such

1. Proof that you are Ipob

2. Proof that you incite violence on behalf of ipob.

3. Proof that you participated in the violence in the name of Ipob

Even when the 3 conditions are met and you can prove that government will not follow the rule of law, they can still deliberate on it

Like I said, it’s just a report that even hide many sensitive info on Ipob

See how greedy and evil people have destroyed the once good image of Biafra. Now no reasonable county will want to associate with anything Biafra again.

We told them but they never listen, they were hailing unknown gunmen left and right, but wait ooo, but all igbos are IPOB members.

OK

As you rejoice over the news, ensure never to seek the help or support of any IPOB member for the rest of your life. I'm happy the internet never forgets.

She is not the reason why the UK government acted against Biafra. Channel your anger to the right quarters

Nnamdi kanu and ipob has done more damage to the biafran identity than the fulani bogeyman would ever do. Now most of them would avoid identifying with biafra because they'd be tagged IPOB. Lol, you can't make this shit up.

All southerners are witnesses to the killings by fulanis in the various states in both the middle belt and southern Nigeria. Will the UK government say they're not aware of it? What have BBC written about it? Nothing. The UK are not God and will some day face the consequences of their hypocrisy. May God grant victory to the Scots and the Sin Fein party of northern Ireland.

Recycling old news...

Ipob have told them they don't need their asylum, they need referendum

Did I say anything wrong to her? Anyone who rejoices on hearing any news that's deemed unpalatable to you should never ever request assistance or support from you. Isn't it so?

It seems like people cannot read. They did not describe IPOB as a terrorist group, they said "IPOB is proscribed as a terrorist group by the Nigerian government"

In other words, they are stating that it is only the Nigerian government that sees IPOB as terrorists

Also, they did not stop IPOB from seeking Asylum, all they said is " If a person has been involved with IPOB (and/or an affiliated group), MASSOB or any other ‘Biafran’ group that incites or uses violence to achieve its aims, decision makers must consider whether one (or more) of the exclusion clauses under the Refugee Convention is applicable"

In other words, if the group incites violence, the potential refugee will come other the Refugee convention


There is nothing here that is new. IPOB was not described as a terrorist group by the British authorities and they were not denied the right to seek asylum

Most of them never actually clicked the link to read the report

The ones that read just saw proscribed and stopped

They overlooked all other associating clauses

A totally unnecessary move by the UK govt.

Remember to Vote Tinubu 2023.

God bless Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu

Good! The spirit of this military couples will surely fight ipob.

Good what nonsense. We will ban them too.

sapientia:

Thats to show you how biased they are to IPOB. Thats why some of them are willing to believe that IPOB is responsible for every crime commited in the South East without seeing any evidence to that effect

Yujin:

As you rejoice over the news, ensure never to seek the help or support of any IPOB member for the rest of your life. I'm happy the internet never forgets.

You really have an inflated view of your value to society. Don't worry, if any of us ever need to ground a business to a halt for no reason, or to kill someone, we will remember to call ipob.

What nonsense


the interesting thing about this - IPOB did this all by themselves. the government did not have to do a thing. Just sit down and watch the movement destroy itself.

That serves them right ... Ipob has proven over time to be nothing short of a terrorist group and deserve to be recognized as such with no benefits of asylum in any law abiding countries

So this is why the government is doing all these killings in the East to tag ,them Terrorist

Hahahaha which good image did you, Uk, or Nigeria ever see in Biafra since 1967 clash?

You guys never cease to amaze me.
They gave a report based on a proscribed organization in Nigeria(still under legal contention) and not even by uk or any international organization, then it's being twisted to UK recognizes blablabla.


Education is dead in Nigeria
