The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has commiserated with the Peoples Republic of Russia on the gruesome terrorists' attack and killing of citizens at the Crocus City Hall in Moscow.
The building was set on fire during the assault.
The Islamic State in Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) had claimed responsibility for the attack at a popular concert hall complex near Moscow.
The terror group took responsibility for the attack in a short statement published by ISIS-affiliated news agency Amaq on Telegram on Friday. It did not provide evidence to support the claim.
Reacting to the incident, IPOB in a statement issued by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, said, “The leadership and the global family of IPOB send our condolences to the Russian families that lost their relatives in the unfortunate terrorist attack.
“IPOB stands against violent extremists and soulless individuals who attack unarmed civilians globally.
“We trust the Russian Security intel to unravel the sponsors of the terrorists that attacked, injured, and murdered a large number of their civilians in cold blood.
“If a sophisticated nation like Russia can be attacked either by the homegrown or foreign terrorists, it shows how dangerous terrorists and their sponsors can be.
“Therefore, Russia and their allies must double their efforts in eliminating the breeding grounds of the terrorists that may target them in the future.”
Powerful stated that “One of the easiest ways Russia and other nations can stop terrorist attacks against them is to put efforts in decolonisation of Africa, particularly the Indigenous nations in Nigeria.”
According to him, “When Nigeria and other African countries are decolonised, terrorists and their sponsors will not have resources to fund their activities.
“IPOB stands with Russia during this trying period and will support any actions taken to defend themselves against terrorists and their enablers.”
