IPOB PRESS RELEASE.

17/11/2023

The attention of the global family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has been drawn to the nefarious activities of some criminals scamming people with fake IPOB identity cards within Orlu Province, Imo State and it’s environs. For public record purposes, IPOB does not issue identity cards to members, and neither did the leadership authorize anyone to issue identity cards to anyone on her behalf.

The criminals impersonating IPOB and issuing fake IDs to people will face severe consequences. In the same vein, IPOB cautions the ignorant people paying and obtaining the fake identity cards that IPOB does not issue IDs to members. People should report those issuing the fake IPOB identity cards to IPOB inquiry lines. Anyone who falls victim to the fake IPOB ID card scammers are doing so to their own detriment. Biafrans who are genuinely interested in joining the IPOB family should do so through physical attendance to the IPOB family meeting within their areas and not by obtaining fake identity cards.

Some of the identified criminals issuing fake IPOB identity cards are :

1. Ndubuisi Egeonu from Umuokpo Nkume. He collected N1,500 from ignorant people and issued them fake IPOB ID cards.

2. Mazi Daniel from Umuelem Okwudor in Njaba- LGA is the one that printed the fake ID cards in the name of raising money for ESN. He also scammed people by giving them titles as the custodian of God knows what.

3. Joseph Ihemmadu from Umukama Ukwudor in Njaba LGA is also giving out the fake ID cards in his house to people.

IPOB volunteers and ESN Operatives must go after the above named individuals and their accomplices and apprehend them for proper questioning. This order is without delay. Once they are apprehended, the leadership of IPOB should be contacted to measure out appropriate discipline.
