THE RESTORATION OF BIAFRA NATION

  Igbos residing in the United States, US, have inaugurated the Biafra House in Oxon Hill in Maryland, Washington DC. DAILY POST gathered that the Biafra House was inaugurated to serve people who believe in Biafra and friends of the nation. This was authoritatively disclosed to DAILY POST by a source. The source, who pleaded anonymity, said: “The Biafra House is officially opened for business to the public, including Government Administrative Matters, Diplomatic Protocol, International Relations, and Security, amongst others.” The Biafra House was formed to help Igbos in the US and Diaspora interact with the international community. According to the source: “The Biafra House will be interacting and providing services to local, as well as governments and the International community through partnerships, pending when the United Nations and other world bodies may compel the government of Nigeria to effect a plebiscite for Biafran people.   “Biafra House is where Biaf...

  Aloy Ejimakor, Special Counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has reacted to the decision of the Federal High Court in Abuja to suspend the further trial of its client. Ejimakor explained that it was impossible for Justice Binta Nyako-led court to continue with Kanu’s trial. Justice Nyako put off Kanu’s trial sine die due to the pending resolution of the Federal Government’s appeal against the October 13 judgment of the Court of Appeal that discharged him from the terrorism charges. The Federal Government’s appeal seeking a reversal of the Court of Appeal judgment is pending before the Supreme Court. Reacting, Ejimakor said the Court of Appeal judgment and that of the Federal High Court in Umuahia made it impossible for Nyako to continue with Kanu’s trial. In a chat with DAILY POST, the Special Counsel said the pending appeal before the Supreme Court was a barrier to the continuation of the trial. “My reaction to today’s Federal Hi...

  The Federal Government will on Monday, November 14 resume the trial of the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu on terrorism charges brought against him. The trial will centre only on seven out of 15 count charges sustained against Kanu by Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja. A member of Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyers, Mr Ifeanyi Ejiofor, confirmed that the trial would commence on November 14 having received notice from the court to the effect. However, DAILY POST gathered that the trial would be vehemently opposed by the leader of the legal team, Chief Mike Ozekhome, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN. Our correspondent was reliably informed that a motion on notice objecting to the commencement of the trial has already been filed and would take the front stage at the November 14 proceedings. DAILY POST observed that the objection to the trial was predicated on two grounds which were the judgment of the Court of Appeal de...

  The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has reacted to the Court of Appeal ruling that discharged and acquitted its leader, Nnamdi Kanu. DAILY POST reports that the Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal in a unanimous verdict on Thursday acquitted Kanu of all terrorism charges against him and thereby discharged him. Reacting, IPOB said the ruling has shown that some judges are good and they know the law. In a chat with DAILY POST, IPOB’s spokesman, Emma Powerful, said the judges know that Kanu did not commit the crime. According to Powerful: “We are happy to hear that our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has been acquitted and discharged. That is to show that some judges are good and know the law and understand that Nnamdi Kanu did not commit crimes and his extraordinary rendition was very illegal. “Biafrans both home and abroad including our friends should rejoice because Almighty Chukwu Okike Abiama has done it again. Biafra realisation is the next target and nothing will stop...

  The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has condemned purported removal of existing, though obsolete rail lines in Southeast, attributing it to handiwork of Federal Government. The group alleged that the removal is not unconnected to the federal government’s hatred against Ndigbo. In a statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, IPOB said the move would not hinder its efforts towards realization of Biafra Republic. The seperatist group further noted that it was not afraid of the steps, promising its members of its soon laying of its own railways in the region that would link it with Ambazonia and other African Countries. The statement reads in part: “We condem the continued removal of existing though obsolete rail lines in Biafraland particularly in Igbo territory. “The rail lines in Igboland were built by their colonial masters who saw the need for Igboland to be connected by railroads because we were one of the most civilized nations around, an...

  A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, on Thursday, adjourned hearing on the suit filed by the Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) seeking a referendum to determine the fate of Biafra and other self-determination agitations to January 27, 2023. It would be recalled that the CNG had in June 2021 dragged the National Assembly and the Attorney-General of the Federation to Court, asking it to compel the defendants to halt the ongoing constitutional review exercise and in its place, conduct a referendum to determine what determines Nigeria and who populates it. Justice Inyang Ekwo, who presided over the matter, granted all the motions to allow interested parties to be joined in the suit. Counsel to CNG, Barrister Sufiyanu Gambo, while speaking with journalists after the adjournment, said the Court had adjourned to 27 January for taking all the application to enable us have the processes and then respond appropriately.

  The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has described the Leader of the Ilana Omo Oodua, a group championing self-determination for the Yoruba Nation, Professor Banji Akintoye, as an enemy of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu. IPOB said Akintoye’s remark that Kanu was a noisemaker was an indication of his hatred for the Biafra agitator. Akintoye had described the IPOB’s leader as a noisemaker while applauding the Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Igboho. The Professor, had, also denied working with the Biafra nation agitator, Nnamdi Kanu Reacting, the spokesman of IPOB, Emma Powerful, accused Akintoye of working with enemies of Biafra agitation against Kanu. A statement by Powerful reads partly: “We the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the command and leadership of the great liberator and prophet, Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu KANU condemn the unguided statement from Prof. Akintoye during his BBC interview where he ignorantly referred to Mazi Nnam...

  The National Population Commission, NPC, has pleaded with the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and other pro- Biafra groups not to disrupt the 2023 population census in the South East region as  was the case in the 2006 census when the then Movement for the Actualisation for the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, scuttled the exercise in the zone. NPC Federal Commissioner in charge of Abia State, Chief Jonny Nwabuisi, who made the plea at a press conference yesterday in Umuahia, decried the adverse effect of the MASSOB opposition to census in South East which accounted for the low figures ascribed to states in the zone. He noted that a successful population census would be in the interest of everybody including those pushing for referendum, arguing that referendum  must be based on population. His words:”In 2006, it was MASSOB; today it’s IPOB. But I say that it’s in the interest of IPOB to allow the census. If they  talk of referendum ,they cannot d...
