The Federal Government has vowed to ensure that the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, is arrested and made to face all charges against him.

The federal government has also urged the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja to throw out any request by the IPOB leader seeking a restoration of his bail.
Recall that Justice Binta Nyako, on March 28, 2019, revoked the bail she granted Kanu in April 2017, ordered his arrest, and directed that the trial would continue in his absence.

What this means is that Kanu can be arrested and brought before the court if apprehended within the country.
Nyako's decision was largely due to Kanu's absence during his trial.
The IPOB leader, standing trial for treasonable felony, had disappeared from the country after the Army allegedly invaded his father's house in September 2018.
In April 2019, Kanu's lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, had pleaded with the Court to restore Kanu's bail as as a condition for Kanu to return to Nigeria to face trial.
But according to documents obtained by Punch on Friday, January 24, 2020, the federal government has opposed the application filed by Kanu seeking the restoration of his bail.

The objection was filed by the prosecuting counsel, Magaji Labaran, on January 17, 2020.
The federal government, in its counter-affidavit, noted that Kanu, having allegedly jumped bail, was not entitled to be granted any indulgence by the court.
“That the defendant in this case is standing trial for treasonable felony and was granted bail by this honourable court," the federal government said in an affidavit.
“That the defendant has jumped bail. That three sureties that stood for him were asked to appear before the court and show cause after several adjournments at their instance.

"That the defendant, since he jumped bail, has deliberately refused to submit to the jurisdiction of this court.
“That the defendant cannot seek any indulgence from this honourable court.”
According to the federal government, the court could no longer take any step aimed at reversing the decision revoking the bail except by a higher court.
The trial has been adjourned until March 31, 2020.

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...
