Biafra agitation; Idoma dissociates itself from Kanu's IPOB

The Idoma people have said they are not a part of the agitation for Biafra - Idoma people say they are in no way affiliated to Nnamdi Kanu's IPOB - The clarification comes days after Kanu was seen dressed in Idoma atire The Idoma people of Benue state have said they have no part in the agitation for a Biafra Republic. According to a statement seen by NAIJ.com, the Idoma people distanced themselves from the inclusion of its territory in the map of Biafra by the Nnamdi Kanu-led Independent People of Biafra (IPOB). The Idoma people said Kanu, who recently donned the Idoma traditional attire to a court hearing in Abuja was only using Biafra for self-enrichment. In a five-point communique in Otukpo, Benue state on Wednesday, May 31, the Idoma National Youth Forum for Justice said the inclusion of Benue South in the map of the defunct Biafra was a deliberate attempt by the agitators to pitch the people against the Nigerian government. IPOB had recently claimed that Biafra spans from Itsekiri on the western boundary with Oduduwa to Bakassi on the eastern boundary with the Cameroons, and also stretches from Idoma and Igala land on the northern boundary with Northern Nigeria to the Bight of Biafra which is South of the island of Bonny.
