Nnamdi Kanu: IPOB has stockpiled weapons in Nigeria, killing police, military – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has accused the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, of stockpiling weapons across Nigeria.

This was according to a statement by presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu. He said IPOB members killed security agents and set government facilities in the Southeast ablaze.

He stated this in response to claims by the Amnesty International on human rights violation in the Southeast.

Shehu lamented that Amnesty International was defending IPOB which is a terrorist group and accused Amnesty International of backing a terrorist organisation against victims of IPOB.

The statement titled: “Why Amnesty entreaties should be ignored”, reads partly: “Amnesty International’s latest salvo at Nigeria is but more of the same.

“Again, they have decided to side with terrorists, before the liberty of those they injure, displace and murder.

“Parroting the line of Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB, a proscribed terror organisation, they work to legitimise its cause to Western audiences.

“This puts them in bad company. IPOB murder Nigerian citizens. They kill police officers and military personnel and set government property on fire.

“Now, they have amassed a substantial stockpile of weapons and bombs across the country.

“Were this group in a western country, you would not expect to hear Amnesty’s full-throated defence of their actions.”
