The Nigeria Army has said a recent statement credited to proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to the effect that youths of Igbo extraction should not enlist into the Nigerian Army is baseless and utterly futile.

Spokesman of Nigeria Army, Major General Onyeama Nwachukwu who made this known in a statement issued on Tuesday said the statement the call by the proscribed organisation cannot be taken seriously as it is already a dead organization.

“Despite IPOB’s baseless threats, the ongoing registration for the 88 RRI has witnessed an encouraging turnout of applicants from the South-East”.
