Ohanaeze Ndigbo has berated the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) for banning the Nigerian anthem in all public schools in the South East. It warned that if implemented, it could cause the Federal Government to rescind its plans to release detained IPOB Leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Instead, IPOB should join Ohanaeze to promote Igbo language, cultural heritage and values in South East schools. The group stressed that the recent insecurity challenges in South East were created by herdsmen masquerading as cattlemen.
