The indigenous people of biafra (ipob) has declared its support for u.s. president donald trump’s efforts to end what it described as ethno-religious vi%lence and persecution in nigeria.
in a statement released by its u.s. chapter and signed by spokesperson emma powerful, the group urged nigerians in america to resist any attempt by the nigerian government to “deceive the world” following trump’s recent classification of nigeria as a “country of particular concern.”
ipob said it would organise peaceful protests against the federal government’s planned meeting with president trump, accusing the nigerian authorities of attempting to “hide evidence of kcllings, church b¥rnings, and persecution.”
the group noted that its detained leader, mazi nnamdi kanu, had for years warned about att+cks on christians and indigenous people but was “persecuted and imprisoned” for exposing the truth.
it alleged that several communities in the middle belt, southern kaduna, kwara, and biafraland remain under siege, adding that silence in the face of such vi%lence amounts to complicity.
ipob said its planned protest in washington, d.c., would be non-violent, describing it as “a peaceful but powerful demonstration for justice.”
the group called on all nigerians, regardless of ethnicity or religion, as well as human rights defenders, to join the march, saying, “unity is our shield, and the world must hear the cry of the oppressed. america must stand with the victims, not their oppressors.”
