After days of conflicting statements about the status of the IPOB, the Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday granted an order declaring the activities of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) as a terrorist organisation and “acts of terrorism and illegality.”
The order, which followed a motion filed by the filed by the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami, also proscribed the existence of IPOB throughout Nigeria, with particular attention paid to the South-East and South-South regions.
All parties are now keenly awaiting the outcome of Nnamdi Kanu's trial which is scheduled to commence on the 17th of October. The final judgement is without doubt, significant, as it will determine the next line of action to be taken by both the Federal Government, as well as the IPOB.
