British Legislator Petitions UK Government Over Nnamdi Kanu's Detention by Lincolnburrows(m): 8:49pm On Oct 29, 2015
A member of the British parliament, Harriet Harman has
written a petition to the British government seeking to know
the details of the continued detention of radio Biafra
Director, Nnamdi Kanu.
Harman, who represents Camberwell and Peckham, sought
to know why Kanu, who is a British citizen was arrested on
Saturday, October 17, 2015.
In the petition titled “Detention of my constituent Mr.
Nnamdi Kanu”, which addressed to Phillip Hammond, the
Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs
and dated Thursday, October 22, 2015, Harman maintained
that since Kanu and his Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB)
movement was non-violent, he should be protected by
Article 1 of the United Nations charter.
Nnamdi Kanu (m), Director of Radio Biafra
The petition read: “I understand that Mr Nnamdi Kanu, who I
am told is a British citizen and lives at …was arrested on the
17th October 2015 by the Nigerian Department of Security
Services (DSS) when arriving in Lagos from the United
Kingdom.
“I understand Nnamdi is the leader of the Indigenous People
of Biafra (IPOB) who are agitating for the independence of
Nigeria’s former Eastern Region. I’m told that the pro-Biafra
group are non-violent and therefore should be afforded
protection under Article 1 of the charter of the United
Nations.
“I’d be grateful if you could let me know your understanding
of what Nnamdi has been arrested for,what he might be
charged with, where he has been held and what consular
engagement there has been.”

For a man who has been threatening to level the country with secretly trained pilots inviting him for high level dialogue is not out of place.

I agree with Nnamdi on the quest for Biafra: the restoration of our dignity as a people.
I disagree with Nnamdi on the modus operandi.

However, because of Nnamdi, Biafra is now an issue in the UK and all over the globe.
This is just the beginning.
