Members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, have stated that they
support their fellow freedom fighters, the Niger Delta Avengers, NDA,
describing them as their greatest allies.
While expressing their unflinching support for the Avengers, who they
said were fighting for the freedom of the people of Biafra, stating that the IPOB under the leadership of
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has no connection with those groups who are criticizing
the avengers, a group that is calling for the release of Kanu, the
detained IPOB leader.
In a statement jointly signed by their Spokesmen, Emma Nmezu and Clifford Iroanya and made available, the group warned that
should the Nigerian government send its troops to the oil-rich Niger
Delta land to fight the Avengers again, as intelligence report was
suggesting, it would direct its members to join hands with the Avengers
and engage the troops head-on.

IPOB adds that it is making a reference to a particular group and their
leader, who they alleged had been bribed with oil blocks allocations in
the oil-rich areas of Biafraland.
The IPOB further accused the said compromised group of having started
the ugly incidence of kidnapping in Biafraland, adding that their
members were often used as thugs and hired killers for politicians in
Nigeria.
The group recalled that the Avengers had consistently made the
release of their leader, Nnamdi Kanu as a precondition for any
discussion with Nigeria.
It added that it was quite unfortunate and disgraceful that the
“incompetent and intellectually challenged Nigerian Government had
turned its deaf ear to this demand, while magnifying the notion of
amnesty payments and resource control as reasons for the NDA‘s actions.
