'We don't believe in violence' -IPOB tells Avengers

The Custom­ary Government of the Indig­enous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) has told the Niger Delta Aveng­ers (NDA) that it does not be­lieve in the use of violence to realise the Biafra State.

In a statement it issued on Tuesday, IPOB said there has been an increase in violent in­cidents in the southern region of Biafra, with many emerging groups claiming responsibili­ties. It specifically mentioned the Niger Delta Avengers, which has been carrying out attacks on oil and gas facilities in the region.
“The Customary Govern­ment of the Indigenous Peo­ples of Biafra therefore wishes to reiterate our earlier resolve to pursue the restoration of a free Biafran state through legal and non-violent means.
“It is our belief that our people have suffered and died enough, and as such, we can­not afford to engage in any ac­tivity that will unleash anoth­er round of bloodshed on us,” IPOB said.
