The Indigenous People of Biafra’s (IPOB) founders have criticized former Nigerian military head of state, General Yakubu Gowon, for his role in the country’s civil war. Gowon recently blamed the Southeast for attempting to secede, leading to the massacre of over three million people.

IPOB leaders countered that Gowon’s failure to implement regional autonomy agreements sparked the conflict.

Gowon’s 90th birthday interview reignited tensions, with IPOB accusing him of hiding the truth and attempting to launder his image. They urged Gowon to come clean about his actions, considering his advanced age.
