The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has faulted the vigilante group formed by Miyetti Allah, saying that it will resist its formation in Southeast and South South.
The group noted that from the mission of the nomad vigilante group, it would work with the Nigerian security forces to secure and protect the country, and wondered why the nomad vigilante group noted for terrorist activities would secure and protect the people being terrorised by the same group.
In a statement on Friday by the IPOB Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, the group said “the idea of recruiting terrorists and bandits into what they branded as nomad vigilante is another strategy to ethnicize the entire Nigeria since RUGA has failed.

The statement read: “The attention of the global family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by the great prophet and liberator Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu Kanu has been drawn to the launching of the so-called National Nomad Vigilante group by Miyetti Allah in Nasarawa State.
“IPOB is not against anyone, group, or ethnic groups for setting up vigilante groups to defend themselves since Nigeria’s security architecture has been heavily compromised and failed and infiltrated by terrorists and sponsors.
“However, we are concerned about the code name and the stated mission behind the formation of the vigilante group formed by Miyetti Allah. From their stated mission, this nomad vigilante group formed by Miyetti Allah will work with the Nigerian Security Forces to secure and protect the country.
“How can a known terrorist group that is terrorizing the entire country form a security outfit to secure the same people that they are terrorizing?
IPOB recalled that the Miyetti Allah had proposed to form a nomad vigilante to operate across the entire states in Nigeria during the last administration.
The group alleged that the new idea of recruiting terrorists and bandits into what they branded as nomad vigilantes “is another strategy to ethnicize the entire Nigeria since RUGA was defeated.”
The group however warned Miyetti Allah to stay off every inch of Biafra territory with their nomad vigilante group.
