Nigerians react to declaration of IPOB as terrorists

The Nigerian military on Friday, September 15, categorized the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) as a terrorist group following analysis on their various activities.

For some time now IPOB and its leader, Nnamdi Kanu have been campaigning for an independent country of Biafra made up of ethnic Igbos.

Although they had said their campaign was non-violent, Kanu earlier this week said that stance would be reviewed, accusing the military of attacking unharmed members of IPOB.

Nigerians took to social media to express their opinion on the decision of the Nigerian Army to declare IPOB and its leader, Nnamdi Kanu as terrorists.

Some have faulted the action while others described the decision as a welcome development.
