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

“They allow them to raise funds, some allow them to lobby their Congressmen 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.

The minister also used the opportunity of the interactions to call on the foreign media to stop regurgitating social media fables on Nigeria’s 2023 elections on their platforms.
