The Indigenous People of Biafra spokesman, Emma Powerful, has described Nnamdi Kanu’s continuous detention as “unconstitutional”, saying that self-determination is legal as supported by the United Nations laws and by the Africa Union Charter.

In a statement on Tuesday, the IPOB’s spokesman commended Anambra and Enugu state governors, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo and Dr Peter Mba respectively on their call for the unconditional release of the pro-Biafran leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

The pro-Biafran group hailed Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, Kanayo .O. Kanayo and others, who have also lent their voices towards the release of Kanu.

He said, “We wish to commend people like Enugu State Governor, Dr Peter Mba, Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, Barr. Kanayo .O. Kanayo, and others for their persistent calls for the release of Kanu from detention.

He expressed that the Indigenous people have an inherent right to pursue their own political, economic, cultural, and social future, stating that Kanu was unlawfully abducted in Kenya, forcibly taken to Nigeria, and held in solitary confinement for two years due to his request for a Biafra referendum supervised by the United Nations.

“In Nigeria today, Kanu remains the only political prisoner held unconstitutionally in custody without charge because he is an Igbo man. The main reason for his persecution and illegal incarceration is because he is fighting for the freedom and wellbeing of his people.”

The group claimed that the Federal Government has shown hostility and contempt towards the Ndigbo by keeping their leader in custody. According to the statement, the Ndigbo are now a vulnerable group that is discriminated against, targeted, and killed by security forces.

“The Federal Government has demonstrated hatred and disdain against Ndigbo by illegally holding onto this Igbo illustrious son without charge. Kanu and other IPOB members in various detentions even after the Nigeria courts have ordered their release are still being held without explanation from the Federal Government.

“The same Federal Government criminalised the IPOB leader and members for peacefully seeking to chat a political future for Biafrans as enshrined in UN and African Union Charters. Who beats a child and stops him from crying? Who does that?

He stated that Nigeria has become an outcast state due to its animosity towards the Ndigbo and its irrational fear of an autonomous and independent Biafran nation. He emphasised that their demand for a referendum is not up for negotiation, and the Federal Government should initiate a discussion on a referendum date and terms as soon as possible.

“If after referendum Biafrans vote ‘yes’ to exit Nigeria, Biafra and Nigeria can still be good neighbors. Our request for the independent state of Biafra is not out of hatred for others but for self-preservation and reclamation of racial dignity.”

Nigeria can never see good

Ok enjoy your demand....



Na Freedom he want he no need Foreign trip treatment to attend to his health again...

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Comedians!

I knew it will get to this stage. After defeat, agitation continues.

But it’s a good development as I am a strong believer of Biafra.

But before I take any agitation serious, the political representatives and elites must rise to the stage. Outside that, it will forever be a dream.

Kanu will not spend less than 20 years behind bar

Since Peter girigory Obi do not win election, it is time to go back to option A, Kanu nnamdi and B biafra and referendum

beerfraud:
Kanu will not spend less than 20 years behind bar

at least, you no longer accuse him of scam. None of your politicians can exhibit the love we have for Biafra for your zoo.

Biafra g'enwe mmeri!

How are you sure Kanu still wants Biafra?

The problem I have with IPOB and company is that they think by shouting Biafra and by protesting they would get Biafra.

What they should be doing is joining hands with other groups of like minded people to form a National Restructuring and Reformation Party, get enough votes to get into the Senate and House of Reps across the country, and then get enough votes in national and state assemblies to get the constitution amended to allow for secession to happen

Once that happens, then a referendum can be held with all the legal backing therein.

Instead they cut their noses to spite their face, and I don't blame them. Revolutuion always looks good, but unless you are willing to go into the bush and fight for it against the state, you will lose everytime.

Plus, Nigerians are not a patient people. This is not a compliment.

A lot of Biafrans were happy when Scotland got a referendum. They forgot conveniently that it took the SNP over 70 years before they could even get the legal backing for the referrendum. 70 years of alliances and waiting and working.

I fully support the right of my Igbo nation to decide for themselves, via democratic referendum, if they still want to continue to be part of the British colonial disaster called Nigeria, or not.

Very good

We told you they will go back to Biafran agitation after the elections.

FOR GOODNESS SAKES, YOUR TERRORIST LEADER KANU WAS OFFERED THE 5 IGBO STATES TO GO AND FORM HIS BIAFRA IN 2017 WHILE HE WAS IN PRISON, AND HE REFUSED, SAYING HE MUST HAVE RIVERS AND BENUE TOO.

THAT IS THE BONE OF CONTENTION.

YOUR BIAFRA AGITATION IS A SCAM AND A FRAUDULENT ATTEMPT TO STEAL NIGERIAN RESOURCES AND ANNEX NIGERIAN TERRITORY, AND IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN IN A MILLION YEARS, YOU SATANIC, GREEDY CRIMINALS.

THIEVES!

AWON OLE

No such thing as Nigerian territory, Lugard cannot come from Europe to West Africa to give you your territory, and Lugards wife cannot bastardise anyone with the colonial name "Nigerian"

If you want your own territory and name, go and look for referendum to create one, rather than hiding behind the one created created by the white man to talk trash

Jokers all over the place.
