Group asks Buhari to withdraw treason charges against IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu


A group, Ibeku Youth Assembly (IYA) has urged President Muhammadu Buhari-led federal government to allow the leader of the proscribed Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, return home and bury his late parents, Eze Isreal Kanu and Ugoeze Sally Kanu.
The youth group pointed out that any attack on the IPOB leader by Nigeria security operatives if he surfaces for the funeral of his late parents, may spring up avoidable war, which it opined will lead to the final death of Nigeria as a democratic nation.
Ibeku Youth Assembly is the apex youth body in the hometown of the IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
DAILY POST recalls that Nnamdi Kanu had last November announced the demise of his parent, Eze Isreal Kanu and Ugoeze Sally Kanu and blamed the incident to the alleged invasion of his Afaraukwu Ibeku Umuahia residence by soldiers of the Nigeria Army in 2017.
However, the IPOB leader in a statement last week, announced February 14 for the final interment of his late parents.
Kanu said that he would not reveal his security strategy to ensure he return home and bury his late father and mother.
However, in a statement signed and issued to newsmen on Monday in Umuahia, the Abia State capital, the IYA President, Comrade Kingsley Nwabuko, called on Buhari-led government to grant Nnamdi Kanu presidential pardon, as well as step down his treason trial for the corporate peace of the country.
According to the organization, “Federal government should see reason and pardon the agitator. He needs to return home as the first son of late Eze Isreal Kanu to bury his parents. Kanu and IPOB are armless in their clamor for Biafra republic.
“They have been peaceful in their demand. Buhari should compel the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami to withdraw charges against Nnamdi Kanu and engage the IPOB leader to further dialogue, so that there will be calm in the south east zone.
“It is obvious that the Igbos have continued to be marginalized in this Nigeria system, particularly the present government. South east has been relegated to the background, and they cannot boast of any government presence in the region. This is what led to myriads of agitation in Nigeria today.
“Again, it is in our knowledge that foreigners will attend the burial of Eze Kanu. Government should be careful to avoid any foreigner being killed by the military. Because, any foreigner that government’s forces attack or kill as a result of IPOB agitations may cause heavy crisis.
“We urge the South East Governor’s Forum led by Governor Dave Umahi to meet with President Buhari again and fashion out solution, ways to invite Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB for dialogue before the funeral date.
“Federal government, the Nigeria Army should also apologize to Kanu’s family and the people of South East over invasion of Umuahia home of the IPOB leader, which he (Nnamdi) he claimed led to the death of his parents.”

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...
