The
Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on Sunday met with the highest Igbo
socio-cultural association, Ohanaeze Ndigbo and leadership of the Prof Ben
Nwabueze-led Igbo Leaders of Thought (ILT), demanding the
unconditional de-proscription of the group labelled “terrorist” organization,
insisting it was part of the
terms for peace with the federal government and southeast governors.
Also, IPOB demanded an end to all
criminal prosecutions of their members arrested in various parts of the country
over their self-determination agitation as well as the recognition of rights of
individuals as contained in the Nigerian constitution.
During a meeting held at Prof.
Nwabueze’s countryhome in Atani, Ogbaru local government council, Anambra
state, the organization also demanded compensation for all IPOB members killed
during the last Operation Python Dance in the southeast and the prosecution of
security men that murdered them.
They reportedly were said to have
demanded an end to the constant and indiscriminate harassment and arrest of its
members in any part of the country by security operatives.
