THE Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has no plans to attack the state, according to its leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

The state police commissioner, Hakeem Odumosu, had yesterday, said the Command was investigating the separatist group, Oodua Republic, and an alleged threat by IPOB to attack soft targets in the state.

“The Command has taken notice of agitators for Oodua Republic by some Yoruba separatist groups and the threats to disrupt law and order in the state. 24 of these groups have been identified and being closely monitored,” Odumosu said at a security summit chaired by Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

“Similarly, the threat of IPOB to attack soft targets in Lagos is equally being put on the radar of the command intelligence gathering and other security services in the state. Strategies are being put in place to neutralise their activities.”

However, Kanu described the allegation as a lie and a plot to fuel division.

“The public is hereby notified that the allegations that IPOB is plotting to attack Lagos is a LIE. Lagos State CP, Hakeem Odumosu who made the allegation is a former CSO to Tinubu & their intention is to fuel division between Yorubas & Biafrans. It won’t work. This is not 1967!” he tweeted.
