The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has closed its bank account domiciled in the United States after it received a report from the bank saying some “yet to be identified persons” accused IPOB of fraudulently operating the account.
In a statement issued by IPOB’s Head of Directorate, Chika Edoziem, on Thursday, the account served as a “worldwide” platform for members of the group to pay their monthly contributions.
He, however, said another account has been opened to serve the same purpose, and advised that members comply with the new platform.
The statement read, “That the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra worldwide, Nnamdi Kanu, authorized the opening of the IPOB USA, families were instructed to pay in their monthly contributions,”
“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.”
