Secessionist group, Biafra Nations League, BNL, has introduced the Biafran pounds in the Bakassi Peninsula, a region in Cross Rivers State.
According to Henry Edet, Chief Head of Operations of BNL, who disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday, the decision follows the visit of its national leader, Princewill Chimezie Richard to the region.
He said that the Biafran currency of 1967 is still recognized by the group.
He said the “Biafran pounds would gradually replace the Nigeria and Cameroon currency in the Peninsula,” insisting that “any form of harassments by Cameroon as a result of introducing the currency would amount to rebellion.”
They added that it has welcomed the decision of major oil companies to quit Nigeria, adding that “it was long-awaited.”
