Banning of IPOB, Welcome Development- Northern Igbo

FOLLOWING persistent calls on the Federal Government by human rights activists and southeastern governors to withdraw military operations, Operation Python Dance II in the region, the leader of Northern Tranquility Movement, Alhaji Muhammad Ibrahim Gashash, has cautioned the Federal Government not to bow to such pressure, saying that the IPOB agitators are unpredictable.

In a chat with The Guardian, Gashash said government’s action of sending the army to the troubled area was justifiable, as the police cannot handle the eruption of crises in the troubled region.

He said that since IPOB agitators have been labeled as terrorist organisation, they should be given BokoHaram treatment, saying; "Yesterday, Igbo were all terrorized, and some of them have even left Kaduna, and that is what is called the side effect of terrorism.
