IPOB leader Kanu claims new foundation is to ‘fight Fulani terror invasion’
Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, on Monday said his group has set up a Biafra Aid Foundation in the United States of America to “fast-track the restoration of Biafra and stem the tide of Fulani terror invasion of Biafra land”.
The foundation, according to Kanu, targets people from South-East of Nigeria resident in America, and “lovers of freedom all over the world” to make $1 a month charitable donation.
This was contained in a statement Kanu personally signed but made available through IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful.
The statement read, “During my recently concluded tour of the United States, I promised to set up a US based charitable organisation to enable us fast-track the restoration of Biafra and stem the tide of Fulani terror invasion of our land.
“I am pleased to announce the establishment of Biafra Aid Foundation in the United States of America which I made public during last night’s special broadcast.

“As part of this process, a grassroots fundarising initiative was agreed… and lovers of freedom from all over the world to contribute just $1 charitable donation every blessed month until Biafra sovereignty is fully restored and Fulani terrorism completely eradicated from all territories of the south.”
Kanu in recent times has been touring foreign countries canvassing support for the independence of Biafra.
