US mobilization officer of the group Candy Stallworth raised the alarm on Monday, October 2 that funds of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) are not being properly used.

Stallworth demanded to know what happened to the regular contributions of members who are not being taken care of after being arrested by security agencies.
