The Concerned Citizens Forum warned that the new operation, protest and attacks on Nigerian leaders deployed by members of the IPOB could cause havoc if not checked.

Top 5 characteristics of developing countries The concerned citizens urged the countries to remember that the IPOB is proscribed group in Nigeria. Noting that the IPOB has a long history of intolerance, violent protests, disregard for constitutional authorities and bloodshed, Ajibola said if proactive steps are not taken, IPOB could escalate to another Al-Qaeda terrorist group of some sort, wreaking havoc across the world. The concerned Nigerians, therefore, advised the United States, the United Kingdom and other countries to forthwith outlaw the group to ensure the safety of its citizens as well as foreigners, especially Nigerians. Ajibola said: "In Nigeria, IPOB has attempted to constitute itself into a parallel government. It has continuously instigated the people against the constituted authorities through hate speeches, organization of violent protests, attacking security agents, subjecting innocent people to torture and a flagrant disregard for the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria." She said IPOB has been indicted in Nigeria as aligning with foreign forces to cause political unrest in Nigeria.

"Dear Ambassador, IPOB is indeed a threat to the world, and as such, its activities must be outlawed in the United States of America," Ajibola said. She warned that the United States of America must rise to the occasion in this critical point to protect Nigerians living abroad and those traveling overseas from the threat posed by IPOB. "Dear Ambassador, the Concerned Citizens Forum is constrained to write you this letter in an attempt to bring to your notice of the threat posed by IPOB and as well as to remind the government of the United States of America of its role in the entrenchment of peace all over the world."
