Last week, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the Minister of Information and Culture, criticised several Western nations for endorsing the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), which he said has been categorised as a terrorist group. He issued the warning in Washington, D.C. during official meetings with a number of foreign media outlets and policy organisations.
According to NAN, the minister said IPOB
remains a terrorist group as declared by the Nigerian government and should be
treated as such by Western countries.
He
claimed that the group had been using funds raised in foreign countries to
“destabilise” Nigeria.
Mohammed argued that it is hypocritical for the West to assert that it is battling terrorism while secretly aiding a terrorist group.
