A faction of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has broken out of the main group and is set to burn the 'sacred' Biafran flag come October 1, 2016.

In what was termed as an 'inflexible and defeatist position of IPOB led by Nnamdi Kanu', who is currently in Kuje prison, a faction of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), identified as The Re-branded Indigenous People of Biafra (TRIPOB), has broken out of the main group.

Chima Phillip Effiong Osuji, who is the spokesperson of the splinter group, said the decision to break away, was taken at an emergency meeting convened by some disaffected members of IPOB on Monday, August 22, 2016 in Aba, Abia state.

"It was resolved that due to the rigid and fatalistic position of the Nnamdi Kanu- led IPOB, several of us with like minds shall breakaway and form The Rebranded Indigenous People of Biafra, TRIPOB," he stated.

The new group said that Biafra would not be a reality and on October, 1, 2016, would set ablaze the Biafra flag in Abuja, recite the national anthem and pledge to Nigeria, while the spirit and intent of Biafra will be pursued inside the Nigerian nation.  To read the THE FULL STATEMENT visit: http://onomenews.blogspot.com.ng/2016/08/ipob-officialy-splits-new-group-tripob.html
