Following the proscription of the group, US had declared that it does not consider the pro-Biafra group as a terrorist organisation.
In his reaction, Omokri, said “killer herdsmen” deserved the terrorism tag “much more” than IPOB.
Omokri, in a video on his Facebook, berated the Buhari-led government of ignoring the activities of the herdsmen “identified as terrorists by the US and the UK”, while going after IPOB for agitating for Biafra.
The former Presidential aide said while the global terrorism index rank herdsmen as the fourth deadliest terrorist group in the whole world, IPOB “is not even featured in the index, yet our government calls them terrorists”.
“The dictionary defines a terrorist as someone who unlawfully uses violence to achieve political aims. And by the dictionary definition, you can see that herdsmen actually fits into the category of a terrorist more than IPOB.
“How many people have IPOB members killed? Have they gone and killed people in northern Nigeria, or in south-western Nigeria or in the south-south? No.
“The herdsmen are currently the fourth deadliest terrorist group in the whole world yet our government says these herdsmen are not terrorists.
