Biafra: Buhari accuses IPOB of bombing oil pipelines

President Muhammadu Buhari has accused the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB on bombing and vandalisig oil pipelines.

According to Buhari, the vandalism and oil theft carried out by IPOB is responsible for the shortfall of the daily production quota in Nigeria.

Buhari made this claim during a question and answer session with Bloomberg, a United States, US-based publication.
Buhari claimed IPOB was being funded through international financial networks.

“Criminality and terrorism in oil-producing regions hamper production, and it would help if our western allies designated IPOB as a terrorist group, given their complicity in damage to pipelines and infrastructure.

“We urge those same international partners to take additional steps costing them nothing, by proscribing another group – IPOB – as a terrorist organization.

“Their leadership enjoys a safe haven in the West, broadcasting hate speech into Nigeria from London, spending millions lobbying members of the US Congress, and freely using international financial networks to arm agitators on the ground. This must stop,” he said.
