Governor Nyesom Wike has signed an Executive Order proscribing the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in Rivers state.

 

 

 

The Governor made the announcement during a state-wide broadcast in Port Harcourt on Wednesday October 28.

 

 

 

Wike stated that IPOB is clearly a ''terrorist group whose existence, creed, mission, and activities are strongly denounced even by the Government and people of South-East states in the country.''

 

 

 

The Rivers state Governor said;

 

 

 

“We have everything against the presence and activities of the legally proscribed and anarchic Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and whatever that group stands for in Rivers State.
