They commit a lot of crimes and say they are IPOB and most of the time, IPOB will come and say, ‘We have no hands in this, we have no hands in that.’ He said there were grand plots to incite war in the South-East but it will not be allowed.“The problem of this country is that people will leave their problems and make your problem their problem.“But what some of these people are doing is to incite the South-East into war and step aside, and we are not going to buy into that; we’re not going to be deceived again, he added
