IPOB hails observance of Biafra Heroes Remembrance Day

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), a separatist movement seeking an independent Biafran state in southeastern Nigeria, publicly praised the annual Biafra Heroes Remembrance Day on May 30. The group used the occasion to honor the memory of those who died fighting for Biafra’s secession during the 1967‑1970 civil war and to reaffirm its demand for self‑determination. IPOB’s statements highlighted the day as a reminder of the “sacrifices of our heroes” and called for continued resistance against what it describes as oppression by the Nigerian government.
