The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, gave the admonition in Washington DC at an engagements with some media organisations and policy institutes.

The minister is in Washington to engage with international media organisations and Think tanks on the just concluded 2023 polls.

“IPOB is a terrorist organisation so declared by the Nigeria Government, yet some western countries harbour them and have been dealing with the illegal body.

“They allow them to raise fund, some allow them to lobby their Congress men and lawmakers and whatever fund they realise they use it to destabilise the country,” the minister said.

Mohammed said it is hypocritical for the western world to claim it is fighting terrorism yet turn around to be supporting a terrorist organisation.
