The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has lamented the alleged unfair treatment the Igbos currently receive in Nigeria, and said the panacea is for them to have their own sovereign country.
IPOB said recent happenings have shown that Igbos are not wanted in the country, adding that its members were attacked by the security agents during a peaceful protest in Aba, Abia state.
In a statement released on Sunday, Powerful expressed surprise that the security agencies allowed the Islamic Shi’ites to protest peacefully twice in Abuja without any molestation, but unleashed violence on IPOB members who were also engaging in peaceful protest in Aba.
The demonstration was aimed at demanding the unconditional release of the group’s leader, Kanu, who is currently in detention.
