The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB has been condemned for using a child soldier to fight the Nigerian army.
This comes after a video of the child soldier alongside other members of the Eastern Security Network surfaced online.
Uche Mefor, Kanu’s former Deputy, accused leader of the group Nnamdi Kanu of criminalizing the struggle for Biafra by enlisting a child soldier into ESN.
A video surfaced online of a young boy armed with AK-47 ammunition and displaying his shooting skills in a training camp believed to be ESN.
Reacting to the trending video, Mefor accused Kanu of “going wholesale into criminality.”
In a Facebook post, the former IPOB deputy leader accused Kanu of ‘destroying all compelling cases against the Nigeria government at the International Criminal Court, ICC.
“So, it has also got to the level of enlisting “child soldier”? Is this conscription or abduction? IPOB under Nnamdi Kanu (IPONK) has completely destroyed the goodwill garnered over the years through the painstaking effort of men and women of goodwill that embraced the good news and the insurmountability and audacity of the Biafra case and argument.
“You have all destroyed the compelling case against Nigeria at the ICC. Crime against humanity and individual criminal liability are real and engage the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC). IPOB must stop criminalizing the Biafra struggle,” he said.
