The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPoB, has said it has uncovered secret detention centres where Nigerian security forces have allegedly been detaining and holding incommunicado, some Biafra activists.
The group explained that it wishes to alert the public about the secret detention facilities due to the horrible human rights abuses, maltreatment of innocent people, torture, organ racketeering, and forceful disappearances happening at the detention centres.

It urged people whose relatives are missing to look for them at these secret detention centres.
IPOB said; “Ndigbo are the highest ethnic group that are being detained with accusations of being either members of The Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB or Eastern Security Network , ESN or framed as kidnappers by the notorious Nigerian Police, DSS, and Army. Ndigbo have been profiled because of their ethnicity by the Nigerian government and hunted and detained across all the illegal detention centres in Nigeria. Not only the innocent Igbo are detained in these illegal detention facilities, but also innocent people from other ethnic groups are locked up in these gulags.
“The detention facilities in Nigeria are places to search for your missing relative if he or she hasn’t been tortured to death or butchered for organ black market by the notorious Nigerian security agencies.
“Until today, some of the IPOB members that the Nigerian Army and Police abducted during President Donald Trump’s inauguration rally in 2016 at Port Harcourt (Igweocha) Rivers State are still missing. IPOB is still searching for those men and women who were abducted during the peaceful rally, more than 8 years on.”
