“Issuing orders to his superior officers in the hierarchy of IPOB without the approval of the IPOB Leadership.
“Imposing and parading an expelled IPOB member, Mr. Ogbonna Abraham as the new National Coordinator in Germany with the sole intent to cause division within the existing structure in Germany.
“Ordering his purported national coordinator in German to create another principle servants forum through which IPOB members are being lobbied to join his illegal group and to attend series of his illegally organised online.
“The IPOB in Germany is a registered non-profit making organisation under German laws.
