''Some of these publishers are nothing more than sponsored agents, in the pay of the ministry of information, hoping to tarnish the image of Erkahraman and Biafra''.
The group further called on the government of Turkey and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, to look critically at the activities of the government of Nigeria.
Meanwhile, NAIJ.com had reported that Turkey disowned Erkahraman who professed support for the Biafra agitation.
