ogazi007:
IPOB labeled themselves a terrorist group by killing security agent and burnt down a police station.

You can shout for all you like, but the Government has made a valid point for declearing IPOB a terrorist group and you can't fault that decision.

How do u explain killing a police officer and you claimed you a peaceful group.
