IPOB press release 
Published On the Biafra Post 
April 30, 2025 

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) around the world, commend Igbanke Nation for their bravery and determination to reclaim and assert their Igbo identity.

IPOB media and our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu have consistently acknowledged and confirmed the historic Igbanke Nation as Igbos, despite all the refusals. Ndigbo ought to appreciate Mazi Nnamdi Kanu for helping us understand our identity and for exploring the troubling history of Igbo division and the indoctrination of certain Igbo communities placed in areas beyond the South East Region, which led them to reject their Igbo heritage. It is claimed that conscience is a sore that only time can mend. Furthermore, only truth is everlasting. We are pleased that at last, the historic Igbo Community of Igbanke, located in Edo State, has confidently asserted their Igbo identity. All the photographers of Igbanke claiming that Igbanke came from the Benin kingdom are gone and forgotten. Similarly, we encourage other Igbo Communities in Benue, Kogi, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, and Cross Rivers to confidently affirm their genuine Igbo identity. Regardless of how much effort you put into fitting in with your unnatural neighbors, they will still recognize you and treat you as an outsider. Rejecting your Igbo identity will not bring you any benefits. Instead, it will jeopardize your future generations. 

The Igbo proverb states, "strength lies in unity."

IPOB is likewise encouraging the Ohaneze Ndigbo cultural organization to connect with the Igbanke individuals and give them their rightful position in their organisation. Additionally, Ohaneze Ndigbo ought to serve as a unifying center for Ndigbo. Their role is to guarantee that Ndigbo across all regions of Nigeria and abroad unite for a shared goal.

IPOB and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu have done an excellent job of bringing to light. Certain overlooked aspects of Ndigbo, Ohaneze Ndigbo, and other Igbo sociocultural organizations can assist in establishing global Igbo history and cultural institutions. That will assist certain Ndigbo who are uncertain about their Igbo identity to learn their history. It is often stated that those unaware of their past are adrift. 
In a unique manner, IPOB and other devoted Ndigbo praise those who have committed themselves to the mission of unifying Ndigbo. Their endeavors have liberated our Igbanke community from the skewed narrative of Benin ancestry. Today, the honorable citizens of Igbanke have restored and confirmed their Igbo identity. We commend the Igbo unity revolutionaries as well as the Igbanke leaders and Royal fathers for creating a legacy that future generations will take pride in. The authentic natives of Benin are aware that Igbanke do not belong to their lineage. Forcing Igbanke to be classified as Bini people reflects a lack of historical awareness. 

Ndigbo wholeheartedly support the Igbanke people and will likewise back other Igbos located in different regions of Nigeria whenever they openly declare their Igbo identity. 
Ndigbo unite as one. _Igbo bụ ofu!_ The commitment to unite all the children of Chukwu Okike Abiama dispersed globally is gaining traction. This sacred procession of uniting the dispersed children of Chukwu Okike Abiama for His divine intention must be fulfilled. God bless the Igbo. 
Ise. Ise. Iseeeeee! 

In other words, the 29th of April 2025 marks another day for our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s case in Abuja, and we anticipate our people will come out to support him

We acknowledge that the Nigerian court discharged and acquitted him, instructing that no other court in Nigeria should prosecute him again; however, the Nigerian Government has chosen to ignore its court's order. Our people must provide our leader the solidarity and backing he rightfully deserves.

Dear Igbo brothers and sisters,
We must pay close attention to a troubling development that could affect our safety and future. On Monday, the U.S. Ambassador to Nigeria, Richard Mills, hosted the leadership of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) in Abuja. 

A photo from the U.S. Mission Nigeria shows the Ambassador posing with MACBAN leaders, and the accompanying post claims the meeting was to “hear about the concerns of herder communities” and discuss “opportunities to peacefully resolve conflict” in the Middle Belt. But beneath this diplomatic gesture lies a red flag we cannot ignore.

MACBAN claims herders have lost over four million cattle worth ₦2.8 trillion to insecurity, and they feel unfairly profiled as criminals.

While they deny involvement in recent deadly attacks in Plateau, Benue States, and the rest of Nigeria their National President, Baba Othman Ngelzarm, praised the federal government and the DSS for “fairness” and “professionalism.” This news raises serious concerns for the Igbo people, and here’s why:

1. A Dangerous Signal of Legitimacy
This high-profile meeting with the U.S. Ambassador could be seen as giving international support to MACBAN a group often linked to violent clashes with farming communities across Nigeria, including in the Southeast. 

The photo of Ambassador Mills standing alongside MACBAN leaders in front of the U.S. Embassy sends a message: their voice is being heard at the highest levels. This risks emboldening them, potentially leading to more aggression against communities like ours, who have already faced threats to our lands and lives.

2. Our Pain Overlooked
MACBAN complains of lost cattle and profiling, but what about the Igbo farmers and villagers killed or displaced by violence? The focus on herders’ grievances highlighted in the article and the U.S. Mission’s post ignores the suffering of other groups. We’ve seen our own communities attacked, yet there’s no U.S. Ambassador meeting with Igbo leaders to hear our concerns. This imbalance could deepen our marginalization, a wound we’ve carried since the Biafran War.

3. Security Threats Closer to Home
The article notes MACBAN’s praise for the federal government and the DSS, calling them “fair and just.” But for many Igbo people, these same institutions have failed to protect us from violence or address our security needs. If MACBAN feels supported by both the federal government and international actors, what stops them from pushing into the Southeast, where tensions over land and resources already simmer? The photo’s serene embassy setting hides a storm that could reach our doorstep.

4. Ethnic Tensions on the Rise
By amplifying MACBAN’s narrative, this meeting risks fueling ethnic divisions. The Igbo people have long fought for recognition and equity in Nigeria. If one group’s concerns are prioritized especially a group tied to conflict while ours are sidelined, it could spark resentment and unrest. 

We cannot afford to be caught in the crossfire of a conflict that this diplomatic move might intensify.

What We Must Do.

Stay Vigilant: Watch this situation closely. The U.S. Mission’s post was shared just a day ago things are moving fast.

Speak Up: Demand that our leaders at home and in the diaspora raise our voices to the federal government and international community.

Unite: Our strength lies in our togetherness. Share this warning with your families, churches, and town unions.

This isn’t just about the Middle Belt it’s about all of us. The Igbo people have survived too much to be blindsided now.

Let’s stay informed, protect our communities, and push for our sovereign states of Biafra where every group’s safety matters.

Onye aghana nwanne ya.

The legal team of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Tuesday said it will prove at the end of the resumed trial that the Biafra agitator committed no offense known to the law.

Kanu’s Special Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, disclosed this while addressing journalists after the court session.

He disclosed that the Nigerian government succeed in commencing the trial it has always wanted.

Kanu is facing charges bordering on terrorism before Justice James Omotosho-led Federal High Court.

During the resumed trial, the prosecution presented its first witness who testified from behind a screen.

At the end of proceedings, the judge adjourned the trial till May 2nd for continuation.

However, Ejimakor disclosed that the prosecution witness will be cross-examined during the next adjourned date.

According to Ejimakor: “Today’s hearing has been concluded. The prosecution presented its first witness who was not identified by name but by initials only and he testified from behind a screen, as was approved by the judge. On 2nd May, we shall cross-examine him and test his veracity

“Finally, the government is getting its so-called trial it has desired of late, it didn’t desire this trial for the past 10 years but for the past seven months, the government has been intent on having a trial.

“Trial commenced yesterday . The prosecution witness was examined by direct examination by the prosecutor and he made an application.

“It made an application for the witness to be marked or to be screened away from the eye view of the general public.

“The only person that could behold him from his own part of the aisle was Kanu, he has given his direct examination and the matter was adjourned to May 2 for continuation of trial.

“So, what is going to happen on May 2nd is very specific and simple. We are going to subject that witness to cross-examination, we are going to ask him to explain certain things.

“His own answers to questions posed to him today will not be taken as true until we have finished cross-examining him on May 2nd.

“We are very hopeful that in the end our victory is assured and we shall be able to show through this trial that Kanu didn’t commit any offense known to law.”anu committed no offense – IPOB lawyers
