PRESS RELEASE
ISSUED BY THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF BIAFRA (IPOB)

AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL CONFIRMS IPOB INNOCENCE, INDICTS NIGERIAN POLITICIANS AND SECURITY AGENCIES FOR SOUTHEAST KILLINGS.
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the leadership of our incorruptible leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, wishes to alert the world to the undeniable truth now affirmed by Amnesty International’s latest findings: IPOB has no hand whatsoever in the insecurity ravaging Igboland. For years, the Nigerian government and its criminal political class deliberately manufactured insecurity in the Southeast, murdered innocent civilians, and disappeared our youths, only to turn around and scapegoat IPOB as the culprit.
The thunderclap Canadian ruling proscribing the APC and PDP as terrorist organizations exposed the world to the criminality of Nigeria’s ruling elite. Now Amnesty International has courageously provided concrete evidence—names, addresses, and proof—of Nigerian military involvement in extrajudicial killings in our land.
This is the final confirmation that the narrative against IPOB was a carefully orchestrated lie. The Fulani-controlled Nigerian army, police, and DSS—shielded by corrupt politicians like Dave Umahi and legitimized by the now late Justice Abdul Kafarati through his black-market proscription—were the real architects of the bloodshed. They hid their atrocities under the false label of “IPOB violence” to justify genocide against Biafrans while advancing their personal and political interests.
For too long, IPOB has been the fall guy. The world was deceived into believing that a peaceful self-determination movement was responsible for bloodshed sponsored and executed by the Nigerian state itself. If not for the unyielding vigilance of IPOB and the resilience of our people, the lies of the murderous political class and their military collaborators would have gone unchallenged.
Today, thanks to Amnesty International’s revelations, history has vindicated IPOB. Even the UK High Commission in Abuja, notorious for shielding Nigeria’s Fulani cabal, can no longer deny the truth: it is the Nigerian state, not IPOB, that is guilty of terrorism, mass murder, and crimes against humanity in Igboland.
Let it be recorded that IPOB’s mission, as founded and led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, is a heaven-ordained project for the liberation of Biafrans. We will never abandon this sacred cause, no matter the lies, no matter the persecution, and no matter the betrayals from compromised Igbo politicians who collaborate in the destruction of their own people.
The blood of the innocent in Biafra land cries for justice. The world must now hold the Nigerian government, its security agencies, and their political sponsors accountable. IPOB stands vindicated. The truth is out, and no amount of propaganda can bury it again.
COMRADE EMMA POWERFUL SPOKESPERSON/MEDIA AND PUBLICITY SECRETARY FOR IPOB.
