The Indigenous People of Biafra has called on the British Government, which it referred to as the creator of Nigeria, to call the Nigerian Government to order.
IPOB made the call against the backdrop of the arrest of Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe by operatives of the Department of State Services on Friday.
The position of IPOB was contained in a statement by its spokesman, Emma Powerful.
It said the arrest of Abaribe was capable of causing disaffection in Nigeria and igniting ethnic sentiment.
The statement said: “As the uncontested and rightful owners of Nigeria, which they single-handedly created, Britain must as a conscientious democracy and matter of urgency ask the Islamic Republic of Nigeria to release Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe without further delay.”
