The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has banned the singing of Nigeria’s national anthem in schools and the use of Fulani cows during festive seasons in the South East region.
Its Head, Directorate of State, Chika Edoziem, who made the announcement in Enugu, yesterday, urged IPOB members to prepare for a global protest with a focus on the British, Nigerian Embassy, Kenyan Embassy and the United Nations.
Edoziem stressed that the group would sustain a worldwide campaign for the unconditional release of Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu (A Prisoner of Conscience).
“The campaign will be called the Prisoner Of Conscience Campaign. In furtherance of the campaign, all IPOB family members, Biafrans and friends of Biafra are urged to change their profile pictures on social media with the official campaign poster.
IPOB said a new department, known as the Education Department would be created, adding that the department would be responsible for teaching Igbo history in primary and secondary schools.
“Beginning from Monday, January 3, 2022, no more Nigerian national anthem in all schools in Biafraland. Our children must no longer be reminded daily that they are under oppression by singing the national anthem of the oppressor,” he added.
