IPOB is the South Eastern version of Boko Haram up North.

Boko Haram has since given birth to ISWAP, Lakurawa, kidnappers, bandits, cattle rustlers etc.

Just as IPOB may not be entirely responsible for all the crimes in the SE, so also Boko Haram isn't responsible for all the criminal activities up North.

Both are certified terrorists organizations and therefore culpable and should be held liable for all the criminal activities in their geopolitical regions.

That was a sarcastic quip, which he justified by stating that he was disinclined to expound on Nigerian law as the Nigerian state itself does not appear to honor its own laws.

Cult killings and IPOB killings. Don't try and hide these killings under cultism Abeg.

oglalasioux:
Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB set the pace for whatever is happening in the south east. It’s highly insensitive for anyone to absolve him or ipob for the violence in the south east.

Hate won't still allow igbo haters accept this fact.

FreeStuffsNG:
He is not serious. Confused fellow who should never be taken serious. This is why politicians don't have any regard for people like him.

He speaks from both sides of his mouth.

This is his way he planned to worm his way into proscribed IPOB's embrace and escape the death threats he alleged to be receiving, abi?

Penguin2:
You are right. IPOB set the tone. But they are not completely responsible for the carnage that is currently going on in the entire region. That’s the point Odinkalu is making.

I watched the interview and Odinkalu didn’t exonerate IPOB but only trying to educate those who attribute every incident in the region to IPOB.

IPOB would never kidnap Igbos and demand ransom; and sometimes kill victims after ransom has been paid.

Those driving agenda won't accept it but men of integrity and truth will forever win.

Mnk and Sincere Ndi Igbo will definitely win

Human rights lawyer and former Chairman of the National Human Rights Commission, Prof. Chidi Odinkalu, has said that politically sponsored cult groups, not the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, are the main drivers of insecurity in the South-East.

Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, Odinkalu acknowledged that the separatist movement contributes to the insecurity in the region.

However, he described it as “ridiculous” to attribute every violent incident in the region to IPOB.

“Let me tell you this: the biggest single issue, in security terms, confronting the South-East, in my estimation, based on the work I have done on this, is, I regret to disappoint you, not IPOB, it is one word: cults, financed by politicians.


“All right? Now, the cults are the biggest single issue, and you don’t have a clue how terrible the problem of cults in the South-East is at this particular time.”

Odinkalu noted that the menace of cultism in the region has reached alarming levels, adding that political sponsorship has emboldened these groups and intensified insecurity. The ex-NHRC chairman maintained that there might be a connection between cultism and IPOB, but he stated that “cults financed by politicians, that is the biggest single security challenge confronting the South-East at this time.”

IPOB, he argued, cannot be sustained in certain communities in the South-East, which according to him renders the argument that the group is solely responsible for the insecurity in the five states exaggerated.

“Unquestionably, there is an IPOB issue, but the IPOB issue is overblown,” he said.

Odinkalu’s remarks come amid renewed attacks on security posts, police officers, and residents in parts of the South-East—incidents that have frequently been blamed on IPOB and its armed wing, the Eastern Security Network.

He urged security agencies and policymakers to focus more on tackling politically motivated violence and the proliferation of cult groups, which he described as the “biggest single security challenge” confronting the region today.

Just another lying IPOB lawyer. These people are so pathetic with their little lies and deceit.
Next time he will blame it on Fulanis. Simply pathetic

Softmirror:
You are always quick to push your people under the train when the need your full support. You like betraying too much. That was how you all left Kanu to himself and started supporting Peter Obi. You left your Biafra to support Nigeria?!

Blazebond:
This is one thing about the Southeasterners that I don't like,they are always ready to give excuses for the terrible acts being carried out by IPOB because they are loyal to the group and always find ways to excuse them from their evil acts, the Southeasterners are responsible for the insecurity currently plaguing their region and it's a shame that they are also behaving the same way the north behaved in the early days of Boko Haram during the goodluck Jonathan era.
Anyone that fails to blame a terrorist group that is commiting acts of evil in their land is also a terrorist.
