The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has dismissed reports that it is planning to attack journalists in the southeast.
In statement by its spokesperson, Emma Powerful, IPOB, stated that it has nothing against journalist, adding that it would continue to support and defend newsmen.
According to the pro-Biafra group, journalists remain its partner in progress.
The statement read, “The attention of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by our great leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has been drawn to the fallacious statement credited to one Petrus Obi, against IPOB concerning the Nigerian Union of Journalists in the South East.
“We want to make it clear that IPOB has nothing against NUJ and will support and defend NUJ because they have been on the side of truth regarding the atrocities of Fulani herdsmen, bandits and terrorists in Nigeria.”
