The Supreme Council of Elders of the Independent People of Biafra have disowned the Niger Delta Avengers and other militant group carrying out attack on oil installations in the area.
“Preachers of violence might be infants or non-existent during the 30-month Nigerian Civil War,” Deputy Chairman of IPOB’s Supreme Council, Dr. Dozie Ikedife, said in Nnewi, Anambra on Wednesday.
Ikedife said he belongs to the IPOB group governed by the Supreme Council of Elders, adding that another faction "led by Nnamdi Kanu that abuses the elders, preaches violence and ethnic hatred," exists.
“If the militants have been blowing up pipelines, I don’t see how my group that has been following legal and diplomatic process will align with them. We have quite a different philosophy and modus operandi towards the issue of self-determination.
“The two factions of the IPOB and the two factions of MASSOB are all talking about self-determination of the indigenous people of Biafra. But their approach is not the same.
“The aim may be one but the method differs. We have not and cannot depart from dialogue, legal and diplomatic process and of course you know we are in court with the Federal Government over this issue of self-determination.” he said.
