The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has reacted to the Presidency’s allegation of stockpiling arms..

IPOB’s National Publicity Secretary, Emma Power said the group produces its arms locally.

Powerful made the remark while denying the allegation of stockpiling arms and bombs.

In a chat, Powerful said: “We are not stockpiling any arms anywhere.

“Fulani government of Nigeria can rant and propagate falsehood against IPOB, we don’t buy arms we produce arms we are going to use locally and we made it clear to them that 1967 and 1970 are not the same thing with 2021.

“Our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu prophesied that they will kill us and we’ll kill them at the end Biafra nation will come.

“There is no false information and state-sponsored propaganda that can stop or change our resolve to restore Biafra freedom from Nigeria. What they did to our fathers, this present generation of Biafra will surprise them heavily.”

President Muhammadu Buhari’s spokesman, Garba Shehu had accused IPOB of stockpiling arms and bombs.

Shehu had made the comments following Twitter’s decision to delete Buhari’s offensive tweet.
