NATIONAL: IPOB accuses Facebook of colluding with FG over Kanu’s account blocked by platform

THE Indigenous People of Biafra, (IPOB), has accused Facebook, a social media platform, of colluding with the Federal Government to suppress what it described as “free flow of information”

The accusation was made in a statement issued on Wednesday by IPOB’s spokesman, Emma Powerful in reaction to the account of the group’s leader, Nnamdi Kanu which has been blocked by the social media platform.

Powerful noted that the group has the right to express its grievances, because herders are allegedly destroying their farms by feeding their cattle with the crops.

“We strongly condemn this attitude of Facebook managers in Lagos and Abuja who collude with corrupt Nigerian government officials to suppress the free flow of information via their platform,” he said.

“This unconscionable and reprehensible attitude amounts to partnering with perpetrators of human rights abuses and other criminal activities masterminded by the Nigeria state against innocent citizens.

“Now that our leader has started exposing the atrocities of these wolves in human clothing, Facebook has decided to be an accomplice to mass murder and oppressive tendencies

“But our message to Facebook is simple: no matter how hard you try to suppress the gospel of truth being preached by our leader, the struggle for Biafra liberation cannot be slowed down. On the contrary, our efforts will be intensified because Biafra restoration is a divine mandate that must be accomplished in this era.”
