Some Nigerians on social media are aiming a dig at Biafran separatist organization in Nigeria - the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), AllNews reports.
This is coming a day after Nnamdi Kanu, the self-exiled leader of the pro-Biafran group held his routine online broadcast.
AllNews cannot independently ascertain why the hashtag is trending but observed that some Twitter users were reacting to the reported animosity between Asari Dokubo, a major political figure of the Ijaw ethnic group in the Niger Delta region and Kanu.
Some IPOB adherents are firing back at their 'detractors' though.
IPOB's main aim is to restore an independent state of Biafra in the former Eastern Region of Nigeria through an independence referendum.
The group was founded in 2012 by Kanu, a Nigerian political activist known for his prominent advocacy of the contemporary Biafran independence movement.
Supporters of IPOB primarily include people from the Igbo, Anang, Igbanke, Igala, and Idoma ethnic groups within the former territory of Biafra, though it has also gained significant support among the Biafran diaspora.
IPOB has criticized the Nigerian federal government for its poor investment, inequitable resource distribution, ethnic marginalization, and heavy military presence in the Biafran region.
The now-proscribed organization rose to prominence in the mid-2010s and is now the largest Biafran independence organization by membership.
In recent years, it has gained significant media attention for becoming a frequent target of political crackdowns by the Nigerian government.

Not until the gullible, compliant & docile hordes of Nnamdi Kanu's IPOB followers realize that the gutter, where their criminal leader belongs, is not too far, & that the Con Man has got no business with Biafra, they'll continue to sell their souls to Swindler MNK.#IPOBhasFallen pic.twitter.com/ObwKGe8kJL

Nnamdi Kanu, President of the online country Biafra is the worst thing that has ever happened to Igbo Land.
Igbos are cautious, industrious, educated, and well mannered. But Kanu choose to be otherwise.#IPOBhasFallen pic.twitter.com/7JQnW0gwzM

Did you know that Nnamdi Kanu is snitching on IPOB members?
He has secretly handed key members of the cult to the DSS.
Anyone that objects him, he will find a way to get them arrested.
He is nothing but a scammer and petty thief.#IPOBHasFallen #IPOBHasFallen #IPOBHasFallen pic.twitter.com/VM1MkGSVI7
