“We asked the Nigerian government and its Army, which is infiltrated by terrorists, to disclose the names of all Nigerian Army personnel killed by the Boko Haram, ISWAP, Al-Qaeda, Fulani Miyetti Allah terrorists, and other related terrorist organizations in Northern Nigeria from 2015 to the present.

“The Nigerian Army declined to disclose the identities of the killed soldiers since more than 70% of the deceased were Igbo/Biafrans

 

The IPOB spokesman alleged, “The Nigerian government intends to enlist Igbo young people and dispatch them to the killing fields of Northern terrorists as a means of population reduction.”
