Members of the indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have appealed the decision of the Federal High Court in Abuja which allowed an ex-parte application proscribing the group in September, 2017.
In a motion dated April 23 and filed at the Abuja Division of the Appeal Court on Tuesday, the IPOB members asked the appellate court to stop the Nigerian military from the “harassment, intimidation, incessant arrest and detention of IPOB members.”
The Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Abdul Kafarati, allowed the ex-parte application declaring IPOB as a terror organisation on September 20, 2017, following an appeal filed by Nigeria’s Attorney-General, Abubakar Malami.
An ex-parte motion is a request by a party in an issue involving two parties for a decision of the court without hearing the views of the other party.
Mr. Malami’s application was sequel to an approval for the proscription of IPOB by President Muhammadu Buhari.
In the motion filed by IPOB’s lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, the group is asking the Court of Appeal to issue an order for parties to assume the position of things before the proscription and maintain the status quo, pending the determination of the fresh appeal.
Mr. Ejiofor reiterated earlier claims that IPOB is an organisation of peace-loving people whose freedom will not jeopardise the interest of the respondents.
IPOB is made up of a group of people from Nigeria’s south east region who have repeatedly demanded freedom to break away into an independent state of Biafra.
The leader of the group, Nnamdi Kanu, whose arrest generated increased demand for the state of Biafra, is facing trial for alleged acts of treason.
He was granted bail on health grounds in April, 2017, with a list of conditions described by Mr. Ejiofor who is also the lawyer representing Mr. Kanu, as stringent and unconstitutional. Following his release, however, the agitation for Biafra heightened and resulted in a range of controversies that climaxed in the proscription of IPOB and an allegation by Mr. Ejiofor that the Nigerian army abducted Mr. Kanu in his country home at Abia State.

Nnamdi Kanu Sends Important Message To IPOB Members From Detention

The detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has sent an important message to his followers over the Biafra movement. The embattled separatist according to one of his brothers, Prince Kanu Meme, has asked his disciples to trust and comply with directives from the Directorate of State (DOS). Boasting his belief in the separatist movement’s administrative structure, Kanu said “I’m DOS and DOS is me”. Naija News understands that the DOS, headed by diaspora-based Chika Edoziem has been contending with authority issues since Kanu’s arrest in Kenya in June 2021. It has been observed that IPOB is in disintegration following Nnamdi Kanu’s rearrest and detention. The present situation of the Biafran movement can be likened to that of sheep without a shepherd. However, Kanu in a conversation with his sib...

IPOB: The Nigerian Civil War, commonly known as the Biafran War

THE HISTORY OF BIAFRA AND NIGERIA WAR Israel, Nigeria and the Biafra civil war The Nigerian Civil War , commonly known as the Biafran War (6 July 1967 – 15 January 1970), was a war fought between the government of Nigeria and the secessionist state of Biafra. Biafra represented nationalist aspirations of the Igbo people, whose leadership felt they could no longer coexist with the Northern-dominated federal government. The conflict resulted from political, economic, ethnic, cultural and religious tensions which preceded Britain's formal decolonization of Nigeria from 1960 to 1963. Immediate causes of the war in 1966 included a military coup, a counter-coup and persecution of Igbo living in Northern Nigeria. Control over the lucrative oil production in the Niger Delta played a vital strategic role. Within a year, the Federal Government troops surrounded Biafra, capturing coastal oil facilities and the city of Port Harcourt. The blockade imp...
