Biafra news : We’re not compromised, didn’t receive money from govt – Nnamdi Kanu’s family



 The family of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has again spoken on its earlier call to suspend the sit-at-home order.

Kanu’s family said the call for the suspension was not due to monetary inducement by the Government.

Prince Emmanuel Kanu, in a statement for the family, explained that the counter-directive was due to the ongoing National Examination Council, NECO, examination.

Emmanuel also stated that the counter-directive was not aimed at usurping the powers of IPOB.

He stressed that the family had lost almost everything in the struggle for Biafra, hence it can not be compromised.

Biafra sit-at-home: Nnamdi Kanu’s brother, IPOB spokesman clash, issue counter orders

The statement read in part: “We the family of the detained leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, have noted with concern mixed reactions that have trailed the counter order by the family against the Monday, August 9 planned sit-at-home order initially directed by IPOB.

“It must be understood that the action of the family was informed by the compelling need not to jeopardise the academic future of thousands of Biafran children sitting for the ongoing National Examination Council, NECO.

“Contrary to misconceptions in some quarters, the action of the family to counter the sit-at-home was not as a result of compromise or monetary inducement by the Government.

“It was also not to usurp the powers of IPOB or for any ulterior motive contrary to speculations.

“It’s unthinkable that the Kanu family, which has sacrificed almost everything including our parents, in the cause of this struggle would ever contemplate sabotaging the same struggle for which our first son is now being illegally detained.”

IPOB had declared the sit-at-home order on Monday to push for Kanu’s release.

The separatist is under the custody of security operatives, following his rearrest and repatriation to Nigeria.

The IPOB leader was rearrested in an African country believed to be Kenya.

Nnamdi Kanu: Tension, fear in Southeast over IPOB’s sit-at-home order

However, Kanu’s brother, Kanunta, had urged the people of the Southeast to ignore the directive.

Kanunta had anchored his call on the ongoing NECO examinations.

Meanwhile, the sit-at-home protest recorded compliance in the Southeast.

IPOB’s mouthpiece, Emma Powerful, had said the order recorded 100 percent compliance in the region, despite threats by state governments and security agencies.

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...
