The Indigenous People of Biafra, (IPOB) has warned sternly the Federal Government of Nigeria to ensure that no harm gets to their leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu who was reportedly abducted on Sunday, by the the Nigerian Government and her Security Operatives.
The group, in a release signed by Comr. Emma Powerful, the Media And Publicity Secretary IPOB, remind the Federal Government, led by President Mohammadu Buhari, and her Security agencies that the famous Freedom Fighter deserved justice and fair hearing, while stating unequivocally that no harm should come near their revered leader.
The group without fear or favour charged the federal government to refrain from any plot whatsoever, to hurt their leader, warning that, “should anything untoward happen to him, Nigeria Government will be held accountable for it.
Meanwhile, the group who have overtime, proven relentless and unflinching in their clamour for the restoration of the Sovereign State of Biafra under the leadership of Kanu, enjoined their members to remain calm, stressing that there is usually ‘a light at the end of the tunnel’.
“We have crossed the Rubicon in our struggle for the restoration of Biafran Sovereignty. There is no going back no matter the level of intimidation by our oppressors.
“We, therefore, enjoin every IPOB member both at home and in Diaspora and all Biafrans to remain calm because this is not the end of the road. Our Leader’s next court appearance is July 26, 2021 and Biafrans should mobilize and attend the court hearing.”
The release read in detail:
“We the global movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by our great leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, confirm the abduction of our Leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu by the Nigerian Government and her security operatives. We shall expose details of his abduction later.
“Our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is presently in the custody of the Nigeria Government. This evil crime of kidnapping was masterminded by the Nigeria Government in collaboration with all those that view IPOB and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu as stumbling block against their bid to hold Biafra in perpetual slavery.
“We, therefore, enjoin every IPOB member both at home and in Diaspora and all Biafrans to remain calm because this is not the end of the road. Our Leader’s next court appearance is July 26, 2021 and Biafrans should mobilize and attend the court hearing.
“IPOB will not relent in the pursuit of Biafra freedom. We have crossed the Rubicon in our struggle for the restoration of Biafran Sovereignty. There is no going back no matter the level of intimidation by our oppressors.
Our Leader can never be coerced into abandoning the struggle for Biafra restoration irrespective of the circumstance. At this very challenging moment in the history of our march to freedom, all IPOB family members must stand firm and resolute behind our selfless leader. We stand by him and the God of Heavens in whom we trust and rest our confidence shall not let us down. We shall triumph!
We remind the Nigeria government and her security agencies that our Leader deserves justice and fair hearing. We also want to state unequivocally, that no harm should befall our leader. Should anything untoward happen to him, Nigeria Government will be held accountable for it.
We are watching closely and all our intelligence units, are following up on the developments. The international community should not be quiet over the atrocities of the Nigeria Government against Biafrans. They must rise in defense of justice now!
