It is when the communities use the name of IPOB, the video and upload it to the social media and say it is IPOB that is burning the houses of herdsmen.\u201cIt is not\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ripplesnigeria.com\/opc-backs-ipobs-eastern-security-network-wants-govs-to-give-support\/\">IPOB<\/a>, it is the communities that are doing this and this is very dangerous for the Igbo man.
