The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have called on the Federal Government of Nigeria to de-proscribe the group.
The special counsel for Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the IPOB, Aloy Ejimakor said the time has come for the government to de-proscribe the group.
According to Ejimakor, the recent ruling of a Canadian Court which proscribed the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as terrorist groups is enough reason to de-proscribe the IPOB.
The Federal High Court in Canada while denying asylum to Douglas Egharevba, over his decade-long affiliation with both parties, upheld a ruling proscribing the political platforms.
However, Ejimakor in a post on X said it has become more imperative for the Nigerian government to act accordingly.
The lawyer wrote on X: “The recent declaration by Canada that APC (Nigeria’s ruling party) is a terrorist entity makes it more urgent & imperative for the Nigerian government to de-proscribe #IPOB as the United Nations had directed.”
