The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPoB, has announced a major restructuring of its leadership hierarchy, with its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, dissolving the third administration of the group’s Directorate of State, DoS, and inaugurating a new leadership team.

In a statement issued Wednesday from Langerfeld, Germany, IPoB said Kanu approved the dissolution of the outgoing administration and appointed United States-based Mazi Chris Nwaogu as the new Head of the Directorate of State.

According to the statement, Nwaogu is to assume immediate responsibility for the administration, coordination, and day-to-day management of the organisation’s affairs under Kanu’s authority.
