President Muhammadu Buhari’s
Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu on Thursday said
the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, is a terrorist organization while Fulani
herdsmen are just criminal gangs.
Shehu noted that the pro-Biafra
group had no regard for the constitution of Nigeria.
Responding to why Fulani herdsmen
were not proscribed despite killing many Nigerians, Garba replied, “This is
because there is a difference between a criminal gang and terrorist activities.
“Yes, the Fulani herdsmen are a
criminal gang and are being dealt with in accordance to the laws of the country
but IPOB like Boko Haram has a territory they have carved onto themselves as a
sovereign state and have shown willingness to invade neighboring states.
“They have raised concerns in
neighboring Kogi, Benue and also indicated interest in taking over Bayelsa and
Rivers That is exactly what Boko Haram has done with the Flags and taxation
systems. This certainly are not acceptable to the laws of the country.”
