UK Govt Faults Media Report On IPOB As a Terrorists Organisation

The British high Commission in Nigeria on Friday 6fh May 2022 denied media reports that it’s government has designated the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, a terrorist organization.

The government while dismissing the reports, said it is those members that are involved in violence that cannot be given a protection

“We are aware of inaccurate reporting circulating in the media and online that the UK Government has added the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to the UK’s list of terrorist groups or organisations banned under UK law.

“These reports are untrue. The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is not a proscribed organisation in the UK,” a statement by the British High Commission on Friday evening.

“The inaccurate reporting relates to the 13 April 2022 publication by the UK Government of a revised Country Policy and Information note (CPIN) on separatist groups in SE Nigeria, including the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).”

“This CPIN also acknowledges that the Nigerian government has proscribed IPOB as a terrorist organisation, some members of IPOB have reportedly used violence against the state and members of the public, and advises that persons who have committed human rights abuses must not be granted protection.”
