IPOB will end up like Boko Haram if not curtailed now - Coalition

The coalition warned that if Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the agitating group, and his team are nor tackled immediately, they could end up worse than Boko Haram.
The group said IPOB had exhibited all the characteristics of terrorism to the extent that it had become the metaphor for describing the southern equivalent of Boko Haram led by Abubakar Shekau.

At a press conference in Abuja on Tuesday, September 19, the national coordinator of the coalition, Patriot Sabo Ode, wondered why Kanu declared a 'Biafra Republic' just like Shekau did an Islamic Caliphate.
He also said Kanu called Nigerians animals like Shekau described them infidels.
“Both men promised to deliver the heads of Nigerian presidents to their declared enclaves; IPOB and Boko Haram adopted flags other than the green-white-green; they formed cabinets; they radicalised youths, they called for attacks on Nigeria and Nigerians; and they both declared the state and its military as their enemy,” he said.
Ode argued that some unrepentant members of IPOB have resorted to ramping up their campaign of fake news, which they have used to brainwash residents in the southeast.
