IPOB, OPC and Boko Haram are the same – Dambazau
Former chief of army staff, Abdulrahman Dambazau, said like Boko Haram, the O’odua People’s Congress (OPC), the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), are also extremist groups.
Speaking at the inauguration of Army War College Nigeria Course 5/2021 in Abuja, on Friday, April 9, Dambazau, stressed that Boko Haram, OPC and the IPOB have a lot of similarities.
The former minister of interior explained that both OPC and IPOB are exhibiting features similar to that of Boko Haram when the insurgent group started out in 2009.
“They are all non-state actors; they all have separatist agenda to carve out states out of Nigeria’s territory; they all do not believe in the Nigerian project, its unity and peaceful co-existence just like BH.
“They are also beginning their projects by attacking security forces and those they consider their enemies,” Dambazau said.
