The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has, again, threatened to cripple Nigeria through series of protests if its leader, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, who has been in detention since October 2015 is not released.
The group said if the Federal Government fails to release Kanu unconditionally, it will resume suspended protests across the country, which they said paralyse the country’s economic activities, adding that government should not see their quietness as cowardice and fear.
A statement by IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Mr. Emma Powerful asked the federal government to explain why they are still holding on to Kanu and two others since they don’t have reasonable witnesses against them in the court.
“We have endured; we will start the protest that will bring the Nigeria government to its knees. We stopped protests not out of cowardice and fear but, to show maturity and professionalism in what we are doing and to allow the federal government release our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu unconditionally.
“In line with his continued detention, we allowed the government to take decision and possibly release the man who did not commit any crime.”
IPOB blamed President Buhari’s advisers and alleged that they deliberately mislead him on the ambit of the law which led to the continued detention of its leader, even after court has granted him bail.
“The president’s advisers, who don’t want him to release our leader and those sycophants in his government waiting for his downfall are somewhere waiting to laugh at him and they will be the first to cast him…
“Biafrans are ready for what is to come; we are winning the battle.
“The protest going on around the world is still in progress and we, in Biafraland, will not stop until our leader is released unconditionally.
Biafra is a spirit that possesses those who are chosen people of Chukwuokike abiama (God Almighty).”
The group also raised the alarm over plans for the Buhari-led administration to Islamise Nigeria through his policies and programmes and urged Christians to rise against it to stop law against preaching in some northern parts of the country.
“We are calling all clergymen and women, bishops, priests, pastors and men and women of God that this is the time we take our destiny in our hands. Nigeria is not a Muslim country.
“We are calling on world Christian leaders and Christian countries to come to our rescue, otherwise the people of God will be exterminated in the surface of the earth,” IPOB said.
