*A NOTE OF CAUTION TO THE IGBO DIASPORA COMMUNITY IN THE UNITED STATES FINANCING AND FACILITATING THE TERROR CAMPAIGN OF IPOB AND ESN IN IGBOLAND.*

Please refer to the following excerpts from the April 2020 Report of the United States Commission For International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) which Listed IPOB along with Boko Haram as Entities Tormenting and Terrorizing the Church and Christians In Nigeria.

Amidst the worsening Security situation in Nigeria fueled mostly by the Murderous Fulani Conquest Invasion of Nigeria; AND as Communities across Igboland continue in their efforts to rid their lands, forests, villages and towns of widespread IPOB/ESN Terror, Killings, Kidnapping, Human Organ Harvesting and Cannibalism being orchestrated under the banner of Nnamdi Kanu’s “Biafra Restoration” scam, it has become necessary to issue this Note of Caution to the Igbo US Diaspora Sponsors, Financiers and Facilitators of the “Biafra Restoration” campaign which has collapsed miserably but which has left Igboland in the pool of its own blood.
The reality is that Terror is Terror and will be fought everywhere it shows up.
That is why the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) listed IPOB along with Boko Haram in its April 2020 Report because it recognized and adjudged the killings, destruction and disruptions by IPOB and its enforcers in Igboland, as the Terror that it is. No different from those being enacted by Boko Haram or Fulani Herdsmen on the Indigenous Peoples of Nigeria countrywide.
That does not in anyway absolve Boko Haram, Fulani Herdsmen and the Government Security Forces of responsibility for their own Terror in Igboland and elsewhere.
The next logical action that should have followed that 2020 USCIRF Report featuring IPOB is for the US to Designate IPOB as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) just like Boko Haram was designated.
However the wider implications of an FTO Designation on IPOB for the Igbo Diaspora in the US which contribute and channel finances and other support to IPOB and its enforcers, particularly the ESN would seriously endanger members of the Igbo Diaspora Community who ignorantly raise funds for the Terror being orchestrated by Nnamdi Kanu’s IPOB and ESN as some of them may be genuinely ignorant of:
(1) The Terror and Bloodletting that was being unleashed by IPOB and ESN in Igboland.
(2) The Laws on Terror which recognizes, prohibits and punishes Terror Financing, Procurement, Incitement and Facilitation as Acts of Terror.
It was therefore in the effort to avert the disastrous consequences of an FTO Designation of IPOB by the US, on the large Igbo Diaspora Community in the US who may genuinely think they were or are helping the Liberation of their Homeland from the Genocide and Oppression of the Nigeria State against the Igbo that the LNC Team in Washington DC had to intervene to slow down that next logical step of designating IPOB as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (which is what it really is, looking at the mayhem they have wrought on Igboland).
The LNC-NINAS Outreach Team has over the past few years been enlightening the Igbo Diaspora Community in the US about these matters, but many of them continue to turn deaf ears to the preachments and warnings.
In this regard, several US-based Igbo Diaspora Organizations deserve a special mention for their nefarious roles in facilitating the Terror and Bloodletting Nnamdi Kanu is orchestrating in Igboland, namely – the World Igbo Congress (WIC), the Association of Veterans of Igbo Descent (AVID), RisingSun Charities Organisation and Ambassadors for Self-Determination, these last two being affiliates and fundraising outlets for IPOB/ESN, plus others such.
They obdurately and tenaciously cling to the “Biafra Restoration” Scam of Nnamdi Kanu even when being confronted with widespread irrefutable evidence of the Bloodletting, Kidnapping-for-Ransom, Organ Harvesting and even Cannibalism being orchestrated by Nnamdi Kanu and Simon Ekpa’s IPOB, ESN, Unknown Gunmen, Autopilot and other affiliates of the Terror conglomerate ravaging Igboland in the name of “Biafra Restoration”.
They continue to live in unjustifiable denial while innocent blood continues to flow in Igboland on account of the phantom “Biafra Restoration” scam of Nnamdi Kanu.
Perhaps the time has come when the Igbo Caucus of the LNC will reconsider its earlier protective stance on the subject, to actually request the US Government through its agencies, particularly the Secretary of State, the State Department, the United States Commission for International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), the Senate and House Committees on Foreign Relations, to revisit the subject of IPOB/ESN Terror in Igboland especially now that urgent US Policy Actions are being considered to halt widespread Ethnoreligious Killings in Nigeria, since the Terror and Killings by IPOB in Igboland cannot be considered as more tolerable to Igbo than the killings by Fulani Invaders or Government Security Forces.
This “Biafra Restoration” a scam sold as Freedom is the bloody mayhem currently ravaging Igboland, whereas with the Defeat and Delegitimization of the 1999 Constitution by which Igbo is locked into and Subjugated in Nigeria, genuine Liberation and Freedom, is now in clear view and within the reach of Igbo but without the Bloodletting and Destructive Commotion of IPOB, ESN and the rest of the Rogue Biafra Franchise.
The time has also come to demand that the Global Igbo Community MUST now Denounce and Disown the entire “Biafra Restoration” Misadventure along with its Proponents and Enforcers as the first-step to terminating the unending blood festival being staged in Igboland by so-called Restorers of Biafra.
Igbo must now find the wisdom and courage to embrace the orderly Union Reconfiguration Pathway to Igbo Emancipation in Nigeria which revolves around the ousting and Decommissioning of the Unitary Constitution of Nigeria.
Let it also be understood by the Igbo Diaspora Community in the United States that their support for further National Elections in Nigeria under the atrocious 1999 Constitution is tantamount to support for the continuation of the Killings, Mass Impoverishment and Igbo Subjugation flowing from that Constitution.
With the October 31, 2025 Redesignation of Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) by the USA, all terror acts happening in Nigeria (thus including by IPOB/ESN), would come under the purview of USA Policy Actions that will come.
