American Veterans of Igbo Descent attacked National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu for connecting IPOB to terrorist activities—the group called Ribadu's accusations false statements and dangerous hate speech against innocent people. Chief Dr Sylvester Onyia signed the statement that condemned the security chief's public comments. AVID believes Ribadu misused his government position to spread lies about the Indigenous People of Biafra. The veterans group said these actions interfere with court cases and legal processes.
Ribadu blamed IPOB for attacks on police stations and prison facilities across different parts of Nigeria. AVID responded that the security adviser has no right to discuss terrorism when his home region suffers from bandits. Northern states like Sokoto, Zamfara, Niger, Borno and Katsina face constant attacks from armed groups. Fulani militia and terrorists kill people regularly across these areas without government action. The veterans asked why Ribadu ignores violence against the Middle Belt and southern communities.
The group pointed out that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu still faces trial for his alleged crimes. Ribadu declared IPOB guilty through media statements before the courts finished their work. AVID said this behavior damages judicial independence and breaks legal rules. Government witnesses testified that secret police work under National Intelligence Agency control. The veterans believe officials treat peaceful protests like terrorism and regional hopes like rebellion.
