The embattled pro-Biafra group Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB),Thursday declared the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari a terrorist government.

In a statement by the group’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, described the Nigerian legal system, especially as configured by Buhari and his cacophony of family cabinet as a jungle.

While decrying the continuing detention of her members across the country by the administration, the statement saw it as laughable situation where persons expressing their God-given human rights and political/administrative persuasions were simply dumped in prisons without any charges or trial in a regime that called itself a “democratic government.

IPOB said the Buhari government had consistently failed to produce a single witness to testify on its behalf or corroborate its wild accusations against IPOB.

According to the statement, more than two years of bringing up the trumped up charges against its leader, Kanu, alongside Benjamin Madubugwu, David Nwawuisi and Chidiebere Onwudiwe, and other Biafra agitators on charges of treasonable felony and conspiracy to commit treasonable felony, the Attorney General of the Federation and the DSS had not come up with any evidence or material witness to substantiate their allegations that IPOB activities were in any way were illegal.”
