BNG said it was in support f the activities of the Indigenous People Of Biafra and the Niger Delta Avengers and called on all Biafra groups to unify.
Mr. Ruben Okoro who is the public relations officer of the group called for a collective army to fight internal and external enemies.
The statement read: “Let’s forget our leadership tussles; rather, let’s go like our fathers by casting lots and inquiring to find out from our gods who our fearless David is who holds our Offor Biafra, that is Biafra’s symbol of authority.
“This will help us confront and wage this war against our today’s Goliath and Pharaoh.
“Our Biafran fathers fought only a war of self-defence from 1967-1970, but we Biafran youths will fight both offensive and defensive war to make the entire Biafraland safe.

“To guard, defend and protect Biafraland and its territorial integrity is a task that must be done.”
