Two senior members of President Joe Biden’s cabinet sued by IPOB say the court lacked jurisdiction to adjudicate on the organisation’s claims.

Two top United States government officials have asked a court in Washington to dismiss a suit filed by the Indigenous People of Biafra seeking to stop the American government from selling fighter aircraft to Nigeria,IPOB, a separatist organisation already proscribed as a terrorist organisation in Nigeria, contends in its suit that the aircraft will be deployed to persecute its supporters if allowed to be sold to the Nigerian government.

Edward Gabkwet, Director of Public Relations and Information, NAF Headquarters, who made the announcement, said the aircraft arrived in Kano.IPOB, according to Bloomberg Quint, complained that the Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, and Defence Secretary, Lloyd Austin – sued as defendants in the suit violated laws intended to protect civilians from harm caused by U.S. weapons in the possession of foreign security forces.

“It would be inappropriate for the court to weigh in on a sensitive foreign affairs matter,” the U.S. officials said in their response requesting the dismissal of the case
