By Akinwale Kasali

Since the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu, Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, reports say that the fortunes of the secessionist organization seems to be dwindling.

It has been gathered that the account of the organization in the United States of America which also served as a central account for members to pay their monthly dues and contributions has allegedly been closed.

Making this disclosure, the Head of Directorate of the organization, Chika Edoziem in a statement on Thursday 22nd July, 2021, said  the order which was given through the legal department of the group has also directed that another account should be opened to serve the same purpose.

Edoziem further said that the group received a report from the bank that some yet to be determined persons reported that they were operating a fraudulent account and subsequently requested that it should be closed down.

Although the group said it is yet to determine those who originated the fraud report, it noted that a new account has been directed by Kanu, through the legal department to be opened.

The statement also directed all members to obey their leader’s command and adjust to the new change.

The statement reads; “That the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, worldwide Nnamdi Kanu authorized the opening of the IPOB USA account where families were instructed to pay in their monthly contributions.

“That this same USA National account was also designated by our leader as the account for ESN worldwide contributions.

“Following a report to the bank by yet to be identified persons that this account is fraudulent, the bank requested that the account be closed”, Edoziem stated.
