The separatist group made the call in a motion marked CA/A/214/2018 and filed by its counsel, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, for stay of execution of the proscription order with 19 grounds yesterday.
Part of the grounds on which the group anchored its application for stay of execution was that it had filed an appeal before the Court of Appeal in Abuja to challenge the proscription order.
The group’s appeal has the Attorney-General of the Federation, Mr. Abubakar Malami (SAN), as the sole defendant.
Acting Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice Abdu Kafarati, had on September 20, 2017, ordered the proscription of the Nnamdi Kanu-led group. 
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has called for the cancellation of the proscription order against it.
IPOB urged the Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal to suspend the enforcement of the order for its proscription by the Federal High Court in Abuja in September 2017.
Kafarati also designated IPOB as a terrorist group, after listening to an ex parte application by the AGF.
However, IPOB filed a motion before the same judge on September 22, 2017, contending with the proscription order, saying it was unconstitutional.
But, on March 1, 2018, IPOB filed a five-ground notice of appeal before the Court of Appeal in Abuja, challenging the proscription order and designation as a terrorist group.

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...
