FG slams western nations for funding IPOB

The Federal Government has berated some western countries for giving credence to the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), a terrorist organisation.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, who spoke in Washington DC during his official engagements with some international media organisations and policy institutes, said it was hypocritical for the western world to claim to be fighting terrorism but turn around to be supporting a terrorist organization like IPOB.

The minister is in Washington to engage with international media organisations and Think tanks on the just concluded 2023 polls

“IPOB is a terrorist organisation so declared by the Nigeria Government, yet some western countries harbour them and have been dealing with the illegal body.

“They allow them to raise fund, some allow them to lobby their Congress men and lawmakers and whatever fund they realise they use it to destabilise the country,”  the minister said.

He also called on the foreign media to stop regurgitating social media fables on the Nigeria’s 2023 elections on their platforms.

He said they should be critical and interrogate the information they get on the social media before reporting them on their platforms. (NAN)
