The Defence Headquarters on Friday declared the Indigenous People of Biafra a terrorist group, just as it warned parents and residents of the South-East region to advise their children against joining the group.
The Director, Defence Information, Maj. Gen. John Enenche, said recent developments had made it clear that IPOB was violent and possessed militant weapons.
He said the group had become a security challenge in the country and that it had been metamorphosing from one stage to the other.
Enenche said, “After due professional analysis and recent developments, it is clear that the claim by IPOB actors that the organisation is non-violent is not true. The group has been terrorising the general public in ways including: the formation of a Biafra Secret Service, the claimed formation of Biafra National Guard, and the militant use of weapons, which are stones, Molotov cocktails, machetes and broken bottles on a military patrol.
