The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on Thursday, through its head of the directorate Chika Edoziem has announced that it is shutting down its bank account domiciled in the United States.
The account which has been shut down served as a “worldwide” platform for members of IPOB to pay their monthly contributions.
Giving reasons for the closure, Edoziem said the account was closed after it received a report from the bank that some “yet to be identified persons” accused it of fraudulently operating the account.
“That the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra worldwide, Nnamdi Kanu, authorised the opening of the IPOB USA, families were instructed to pay in their monthly contributions,” the statement reads.
“That this same USA national account was also designated by our leader as the account for ESN worldwide contributions.
“Following a report to the bank by yet to be identified persons that this account is fraudulent, the bank requested that the account be closed.”
IPOB’s Nnamdi Kanu was reportedly rearrested in Kenya and extradited back to Nigeria on the 27th of June, 2021.
He was then arraigned before Justice Binta Nyako who ordered his remand in the custody of the DSS until his next trial date which is July 26 and 27.
Kanu, who is facing an 11-count charge of treason, treasonable felony, terrorism and illegal possession of firearms, among others, jumped bail in 2017 and left the country, only to re-emerge in Israel and then.
