This is coming after the Defence Headquarters declared that IPOB will be treated as a terrorist organisation.

President Buhari has reportedly ordered the Army to continue with its clampdown on members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

According to Daily Post, this was revealed by a reliable source in the presidency who spoke on the military operation in the South-East.

The source said ”Buhari will never negotiate the unity of Nigeria and I can tell you that the declaration by the military that IPOB are enemies of the state is the outcome of the go-ahead by the president.”

“Rules of engagement will be respected but force will be applied where necessary. My advice is for the agitators to calm down and use wisdom.”
