The Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit, NFIU, has alleged that the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is funding its terrorism activities through sports betting platforms and global crowdfunding.
The anti-graft agency also listed bandits and other terror groups as part of the criminal organisations using the same platforms to get support which had entrenched their bases to further wreak havoc on the country.

The NFIU specifically says the IPOB received funds through affiliates in 22 countries that have registered at least 27 entities under the group’s name.
According to the anti-graft agency, over $160,000 was also raised by IPOB through crowd-funding which was funnelled to transmission, media and broadcasting companies in Bulgaria, South Africa, and the UK.
