Nigeria: Rebranded Indigenous People of Biafra (TRIPOB) third separatist group emerges in Biafra
A third faction of separatist group, the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Reformed Indigenous People of Biafra; RE-IPOB, has emerged.
Recall that the crises rocking IPOB took a new twist yesterday, following an announcement by a splinter group, the Rebranded Indigenous People of Biafra, TRIPOB, renouncing the Biafra group.
The splinter group, while explaining the reason for its breakaway, had said IPOB under the leadership of its incarcerated leader, Nnamdi Kanu, was too rigid, stressing that the actualisation of Biafra was not feasible.
TRIPOB had also vowed to burn the Biafra flag, sing the Nigerian National Anthem and pledge on October 1 in Abuja.
