IPOB: Barr. Ifeanyi Ejiofor, IPOB’s Lead Counsel Debunks “Rumors” Of Purported Designation Of IPOB As A Terrorist Group By The UK

Recently, there were stories making rounds on the internet which claimed the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB have been designated as a terrorist group by the United Kingdom.

 

The stories also claimed the members of the organization and it’s supporters were banned from entering the United Kingdom.

 

Barr. Ifeanyi Ejiofor, Lead Counsel of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB have in a statement released on 06 May 2022, debunked the supposed rumors.

 

The statement reads in full:

 

In view of the obvious sponsored false narrative ostensibly orchestrated by mischief makers, the facts needs to be set right.

 

Following the UK Government’s update vide the UKVI, which is clear and unambiguous in every respect, the direction contained in the referenced update is that the Indigenous People of Biafra’s (IPOB) affiliated applicants seeking for ASYLUM status in the UK, should not be considered on the merit of such claims without thorough review of their level of involvement in uncivil activities.

 

Obviously making reference to the proscription of IPOB in Nigeria, and relying on such sub-judicial subject, to insist that the granting of Asylum status on the basis of IPOB related persecution claims, can no longer be as a matter of course.

 

It is pertinent to point out that the leadership of the IPOB have severally distanced the peaceful movement, from the increasing violent activities of some blood sucking monsters going on in the South East under the name of UNKNOWN GUN MEN, and in most cases, offered to join in the fight against these monsters.

 

The leadership of the Indigenous People of Biafra has never supported the nefarious activities of these enemies of our people, neither have they, in any of their publications approved such inhuman and barbaric activities of the UNKNOWN GUN MEN.

 

Moreover, the UK Government needs to be aware that the proscription status of the IPOB is a subject matter before the Court of Appeal, currently pending before the Court of Appeal, Abuja Division in Appeal Number: CA/A/214/2018 between IPOB VS ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE FEDERATION, now coming up on the 12th day of October, 2022 for definite hearing.

 

Therefore, all foreign governments are persuaded not to rely on largely fabricated publications on the pages of Nigerian Newspapers in arriving at such far-reaching decision, which is capable of endangering millions of innocent lives who are being persecuted in Nigeria for being members of the IPOB.

 

In the coming days, the IPOB legal team will make formal representation to the UK Government on this subject via the British High Commission in Nigeria, accompanied with verifiable facts and evidence, to persuade the UK Government to review their recent position.

 

For clarity, the Government of the United Kingdom have not designated the IPOB as a terrorist organization, rather, reference was made to the proscription of the Organization in Nigeria, and also the heinous crimes being perpetrated by some dissidents in the South East, which said crimes are totally condemnable and have nothing whatsoever to do with the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) which is a peaceful, non-violent self determination group.

 

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) remains a lawful and peaceful movement.

 

Thank you all and remain hugely blessed.
