Dokubo who addressed reporters after visiting President Bola Tinubu at the state house in Abuja last week, described Nnamdi Kanu as a criminal, adding that releasing him would fuel impunity.

Reacting to the former militant leader’s comment, IPOB through a statement released by its media and Publicity secretary, Emma Powerful, said Kanu is not a criminal but has become a political prisoner for asking championing a sovereign state of Biafra.

IPOB also said that they are not in the league of militants and oil pipeline guards, but stand for freedom for Biafrans including those on oil pipeline security guards for the oppressors.

Describing Asari Dokubo as a “creek-pig”, IPOB averred that Kanu was not part of the Nigerian youths that started the protest against brutal police SARS during the #ENDSARS protest.

The statement read;

“Dokubo and others are campaigning for the continuous detention of\xa0 Nnamdi Kanu in the DSS solitary confinement but they forgot that militancy for monetary gains are in the same category as criminals and terrorists.

“IPOB is not in the league of militants and oil pipeline guards. IPOB stands for freedom for Biafrans, including those on oil pipeline security guards for the oppressors. It’s unfortunate that those who are supposed to be in the decision-making of the oil explorations in their region are guarding the oil pipelines for the oppressors and their children.

“Those bent on killing each other for the oil pipeline contracts are in the same way bent on sabotaging those fighting to liberate them from decades of slavery.

“But Nigeria is a country where thugs, terrorists and militants are respected and rewarded better than university professors.

“The criminals using IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in illegal detention to look for oil guard contract in Aso Rock Abuja should be guided. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has not destroyed any oil infrastructure nor has he killed anyone.”
