The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has disassociated itself from alleged identity cards being issued by scammers to the members.
This was disclosed on Friday in a statement by the spokesperson of the group, Emma Powerful. Powerful said that IPOB does not have ID cards neither does it issue any to anybody.Part of he statement reads thus:
“For public record purposes, IPOB does not issue identity cards to members, and neither did the leadership authorize anyone to issue identity cards to anyone on her behalf.“The criminals impersonating IPOB and issuing fake IDs to people will face severe consequences. In the same vein, IPOB cautions the ignorant people paying and obtaining the fake identity cards that IPOB does not issue IDs to members.
“People should report those issuing the fake IPOB identity cards to IPOB inquiry lines. Anyone who falls victim to the fake IPOB ID card scammers are doing so to their own detriment.“Biafrans who are genuinely interested in joining the IPOB family should do so through physical attendance at the IPOB family meeting within their areas and not by obtaining fake identity cards,” Powerful stated.
The spokesman therefore warned those behind the scam to stop or face the wrath of the group. He claimed to know the scammers.
