The BNG made the declaration in a Facebook video on Thursday.

The commander, ‘General’ Innocent Orji stated that the organization is battle ready.

Orji claimed he returned from Israel with the sole aim of liberating the people.

“Biafra is real. Sit at home. We are going to redeclare Biafra sovereignty from October 30. Biafra pounds will be used from now”, he said.
