All is certainly not well with the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, as some aggrieved members have broken away from the separatist group under the leadership of incarcerated Nnamdi Kanu.
The splinter group, The Re-branded Indigenous People of Biafra, TRIOPOB, while speaking through its spokesman, Chima Phillip Effiong Osuji, said the new faction was formed due to the alleged “rigid” and negative position of IPOB under Kanu.
TRIOPOB via a statement, said the decision to break away from the Kanu-led group was taken at an emergency meeting convened by some “disaffected members of IPOB on Monday, August 22, 2016 in Aba, Abia state.
Osuji said: “It was resolved that due to the rigid and fatalistic position of the Nnamdi Kanu- led IPOB, several of us with like minds shall breakaway and form The Rebranded Indigenous People of Biafra, TRIPOB”.
