For allegedly betraying the Biafran struggle by collecting money from
local and foreign sponsors, the newly formed pro Biafra group; Reformed
Indigenous People of Biafra, RE-IPOB, said it has sacked the detained
director of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, including its splinter group, the
Rebranded Indigenous People of Biafra, TRIPOB.
RE-IPOB released a statement signed by its Spokesman, Ikemba Biafra, accusing Kanu of insulting respected Biafran and Igbo leaders, converting the Radio Biafra set up by MASSOB, to a private propaganda tool, and using the Biafran struggle as a means to acquire personal fortune.
The statement read in part: "The emergence of TRIPOB is a fall out of the internal wrangling in the IPOB.
"Members and officers of IPOB loyal to one of the spokesmen of IPOB, Emma Nmezu, are behind TRIPOB.
"There is nothing actually different between IPOB and TRIPOB. This is why we wielded the big stick to sack them to save the Biafran struggle. We urge all pro-Biafra groups to remain calm and cease any contact with Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB or TRIPOB and await further information from RE-IPOB."
While reiterating its earlier promise to disclose the identities of their leaders today, Monday, August 29th, 2016, the RE-IPOB spokesman added that names of their mediators to the expected dialogue with the Federal Government would also be made public.
