Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB reports Buhari to UN, make claims

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has submitted materials chronicling alleged human rights abuses perpetrated against the Igbo-speaking people in Nigeria to Agnes Callamard, Special Rapporteur at the United Nations, UN.
The group’s leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, said their goal is to ensure that the human rights violations occurring across Nigeria will be acknowledged and confronted and the perpetrators prosecuted.
In a Facebook post containing the documents, Kanu said the religious minorities across Nigeria must be protected by the international community.
The materials submitted on Wednesday were signed by Kanu, as well as IPOB’s U.S. National Coordinator Dr. Clement Okoro, and 22 state coordinators from across the U.S.
The documents submitted to the UN contained 12 incidents in which they claimed Biafrans were subjected to severe human rights abuses, ranging from indiscriminate arrests to mass executions, allegedly carried out by Nigerian military, police and other security forces.
“Most notable amongst these atrocities is the killing by Nigerian military forces 150 Biafrans in May 2016. These innocent civilians were celebrating Biafran Remembrance Day and commemorating the approximately two million Biafrans that lost their lives during the Nigerian Civil War in 1960’s’,” the letter said.
“The number of human rights abuses being committed against minorities and those with dissenting views in Nigeria, including members of the IPOB, over the past five years have increased dramatically both in scale and heinousness,” it added.
The letter also called Special Rapporteur Callamard’s attention to the massacre of Christians by Fulani extremists – “a group that the 2019 Global Terrorism Index estimates is deadlier than Boko Haram.”
“These crimes, committed by state and non-state actors alike, are at best ignored by the Buhari regime and at worst sanctioned by the administration.
“Instances of mass murders and other horrific acts of violence are rarely investigated, and perpetrators are not prosecuted.
“Even where violence has been demonstrated to have been led by state security actors, no mechanism exists to hold those responsible accountable.”

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...
