The whole world will see IPOB right in front of UN headquarters in New York.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that IPOB\u2019s case on the alleged human rights abuses against its members was already before various specialised UN agencies and working groups.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, \u201cThe Camallard\u2019s recent press release on Nigeria is one such example. You can see that only the press statement has rattled Aso Rock and Fulani cabals in the villas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur meeting with UN officials last week were frank and forthright. If there were doubts before in their minds that Nigeria is one almighty calamity, the feeling we got after our discussions is that they now have a proper appreciation and deeper understanding of how irredeemably hopeless the case for one Nigeria has become in light of the reign of impunity, poverty, repression, unbridled corruption and collapse of the legal system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe well marshalled case for Biafra self-determination by our leader and prophet of our time Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was all too apparent for them to see and persuasively argued to their understanding that IPOB will not retreat nor relent in the pursuit for free and liberation of Biafran people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The IPOB spokesman insisted that the group will only intensify its efforts to bring about the total collapse of the Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cHigh levels of police and army brutality against innocent and unarmed citizens of Biafra and absence of a compromised judiciary makes Nigeria a prime candidate for cataclysmic implosion in the not too distant future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must protest against Buhari and his collaborators at the 74th United Nations general assembly in New York city this week.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has vowed to protest against President Muhammadu Buhari and his government during the 74th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in the USA this week.
