\n
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has written to the President of the United States of America, Joe Biden, asking him to deny arms sales to Nigeria.<\/div>\n
\n
\nThe federal government has requested for assistance in tackling insecurity in the country.<\/p>\n

The petition written by IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu, claims that instead of using such arms to fight the ravaging Boko Haram insurgency, they were being deployed against Christians in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

The letter said \u2018President Buhari has made Nigeria the most dangerous country in the world for Christians, Jews and Nigeria\u2019s indigenous peoples, particularly those of the former Republic of Biafra.<\/p>\n

“Hundreds of thousands are routinely plundered, tortured or killed with impunity by Nigerian security forces controlled and populated by Buhari\u2019s Fulani Islamic tribesmen, often in collaboration with Fulani herdsmen (Islamist terrorist group that has been internationally branded the 4th deadliest terrorist grouping in the world).<\/p>\n

“President Buhari is promoting radical Islam in secular Nigeria. He has endorsed Sharia law in twelve northern Nigerian states. He has treated Boko Haram with kid gloves, releasing from detention hundreds arrested by the previous administration.”<\/p>\n

IPOB, while listing their grievances against President Muhammadu Buhari, urged the American president to deny the sales of weapons to Nigeria.<\/p>\n

The petition concluded by reminding President Biden that the national interests of the United States lie in protecting Christians and Jews in Nigeria as well as defeating radical Islam and preventing instability in West Africa.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
