BIAFRA NEWS : Politically release Nnamdi Kanu – Igbo World Congress tells Tinubu

 

 

The World Igbo Congress, WIC, has urged President Bola Tinubu to politically release Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.

WIC said history would document Tinubu’s decision to release the IPOB leader who has been incarcerated since June 2021.

In a statement by its Chairman, Festus Okere and Secretary-General, Chris Ogara; WIC also acknowledged the recent, significant meeting of the Southeast governors, withdistinguished personalities, including the Obi of Onitsha, over Kanu’s continued detention.

The statement reads: “Among their unanimous decisions made public is their resolve to meet President

Ahmed Tinubu for his unwavering release of our kinsman, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, which is justifiably

overdue.

“World Igbo Congress is itching to hear the outcome of their agreed meeting. Time is the soul of the world. A prolonged inaction destroys peoples’ hope. Let actions speak louder than voice.

“WIC stands firmly with our governors in this overly concerned matter. We also recognize and salute all persons who have continued, in numerous documented occasions, to support the call for the release of Nnamdi Kanu.

“WIC, again, urges President Tinubu to politically release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. History remains a true account of the past.”

 

BIAFRA NEWS : Once Tinubu Releases Nnamdi Kanu, We Will Report All Criminals In South-East To Army, Police — Deputy Speaker, Benjamin Kalu

                             

While speaking in a live broadcast which SaharaReporters monitored on Arise News, Benjamin mentioned that there was no justification for the continued detention of Kanu by the Nigerian government. 

Benjamin Kalu, deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to release the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu. 

While speaking in a live broadcast which SaharaReporters monitored on Arise News, Benjamin mentioned that there was no justification for the continued detention of Kanu by the Nigerian government. 

He said “Let me come to Nnamdi Kanu, my words to Mr President is that we are not forcing you. We cannot coerce you as a commander-in-chief. We cannot force you. You are our leader, you are our president. But we are appealing to you. In the same sense of trying to heal the South East, in this spirit of equity, in this spirit of fairness, other people like him who were incarcerated have been released. 

“Extend this equity to our brother. Let him come out, so that any other person that carries arms on the streets of the South East, we will be the one calling the soldiers, the military, and the police to shut them down because they are just common criminals. 

“The South East Development Commission is a healing balm from President Tinubu to the region.

“Since 1970, South Easterners were promised the three Rs, Reconciliation, Reconstruction, and Rehabilitation. It has been in words for over five decades, and no president has had the courage to take action on it until now.

“President Bola Tinubu decided to be courageous and end the war that has been raging in the hearts of the South Easterners by fulfilling the promise of 54 years by bringing out a new agency. He did it without making noise.

“Special problems demand special intervention, and it’s all about strategy for anyone development-oriented. Former President Buhari, in view of what was happening in the North East, brought an intervention using the regional development agencies to carry out some intervention, and the resultant effect of that is tremendous and unrecognisable. 

“This is what is needed to carry out the intervention that the South Easterners have been longing for 54 years.”

“We are very grateful, and that’s why I’m calling on the youth in the South East to say no to protest and yes to process. This is the time of laying the foundation.”

Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, Special Counsel for the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, had also noted that President Tinubu lacked the moral authority to keep the IPOB leader in detention over his Biafra Nation agitation.

Ejimakor had said there was no difference between Kanu’s Biafra Nation agitation and Tinubu’s declaration in 1997 in an interview published by ThisDay, where he said he did not believe in one Nigeria and nothing was done to him.

ThisDay on April 13, 1997, published an interview granted by Tinubu titled ‘I Don’t Believe In One Nigeria’, where he declared that he did not believe in one Nigeria as championed by the late Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe.

Tinubu was interviewed by Ayo Arowolo, the current Chief of Staff (CoS) to the Chairman of Arise Group, Prince Nduka Obaigbena.

Ejimakor on Thursday in a post on his X account said having declared his disbelief in one Nigeria, Tinubu as Nigeria’s President should not continue to keep Kanu who also expressed similar sentiment in detention.

 

BIAFRA NEWS : Prevail on Nigeria to release Nnamdi Kanu – AVID to British PM Starmer

   

  

The American Military Veterans of Igbo Descent, AVID, have urged the new British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, to prevail on the Nigerian government to release Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.

AVID urged Starmer to expedite a thorough review of Kanu’s case and help release him from “Nigerian dungeon”.

The group noted that the IPOB leader is sick and is not getting adequate medical attention from the Nigerian government.

                          

In a statement by its president, Sylvester Onyia, and Godson Obiagwu, Secretary, AVID informed Starmer that Kanu was arrested in Kenya in 2021 and illegally extraordinarily renditioned to Nigeria, where he has since remained detained.

They also congratulated Starmer on his victory at the United Kingdom, UK, general elections on July 5, 2024.

The statement reads: “We appreciate your forward-reasoning stance on British imperialism and its impact on Africa with particular reference to Nigeria.

“We know your leadership would be a great success because of your broad scope and depth of knowledge on global affairs as well as your willingness to bring transformational
changes.

“AVID is a not-for-profit Veteran entity composed of citizens of the United States of Igbo ancestry who honorably served or are currently serving in various branches of United States Armed Forces. Our organization was incorporated in the state of New Mexico, and headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida.

“We are not affiliated to any political party at home or overseas. We bring to your notice the illegal extraordinary rendition of Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, a political activist and British citizen by the Nigerian government from Nairobi Kenya to Nigeria.

“Since 2021, Mr. Kanu has been on isolated detention in Nigeria Department of State Security Services (DSS) because he requested for referendum to create
the Nation of Biafra out of the present-day Nigeria.

“Nnamdi Kanu has significant health problems and he is not receiving adequate healthcare. Just this week, Barrister Aloy Ejimako, a special counsel for Nnamdi Kanu wrote on X, “Yesterday, during our visitation with Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, we found him ill, with shortness of breath, low BP & general malaise. For this reason, he requested to see his doctor & we submitted a letter in this regard. Today, the Doctor arrived the DSS but was denied access to #MNK. 4:17 pm – 16/07/2024”

“We need you to expedite a thorough review of this case and help release Nnamdi Kanu from Nigerian dungeon. AVID is knee-deep in support of democratic process everywhere.

“A call for referendum is not a call for war or violence. We have high hope that you will set this British Citizen free from the clutches of cruel and inhumane treatment meted out to Mr. Kanu by the Nigerian government.”

BIAFRA NEWS : South-East Lawmakers Join Calls To Tinubu To Immediately Release Nnamdi Kanu

 

The lawmakers in a statement released to journalists in Awka on Saturday, said the release of Kanu would separate genuine agitators from criminals and kidnappers as well as douse insecurity in the South-East.

Members of the Labour Party (LP) caucus in the South-East Houses of Assembly have called for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

Kanu has been in DSS detention since 2021 following his extradition from Kenya.

The lawmakers in a statement released to journalists in Awka on Saturday, said the release of Kanu would separate genuine agitators from criminals and kidnappers as well as douse insecurity in the South-East.

The lawmakers stated that Kanu's prolonged detention was emboldening criminal elements posing as agitators to engage in unlawful activities.

The communique was jointly signed by the 11 lawmakers from South-East, Jude Umennajiego, Kingsley Udemezue, Chidimma Mbachu, Nkechi Ogbuefi, Justice Azuka, Harrison Ogara, Eze Gabriel, Malachy Onyechi, Raymond Ugwu, Fred Ezenwa and Osita Okoh.

The communique was issued after their meeting of members of the caucus on July 10 2024.

The statement read, “We, therefore, lend our voices in appealing to President Bola Tinubu to, as a matter of urgency, release Nnamdi Kanu, so as to douse the current insecurity ravaging the South-East zone. 

"This insecurity has grounded the economy of the region and has occasioned the unprecedented loss of human lives as well as the destruction of property.

“His release will act as a healing balm to the region and also encourage the feeling of oneness as a nation. Furthermore, it will separate genuine agitators from criminals in the business of kidnapping.”

The lawmakers also appealed to the South-East governors and their counterparts across the country to work towards granting full financial autonomy to the state Houses of Assembly in accordance with the constitution and the principles of separation of powers.

"Granting full autonomy to state Houses of Assembly will go a long way in ensuring more robust assemblies, thereby enhancing their functionalities in the area of law-making, oversight and other attendant legislative duties.

The statement continued, “Following the example of the Federal Government, full financial autonomy will deepen democracy in the states and ensure more quality and effective representation.

“That the Federal Government should ensure the quick resolution of the current minimum wage impasse between the governments, organised private sector and labour unions. With the current economic reality and astronomical increment in the prices of goods and services, it would be wrong for the government not to hearken to the voice of the NLC/TUC who represent the voice of the suffering masses. 

"Nigerians are in agony on account of the current harsh economic situation, and the worst hit appears to be the workers, whose income is obviously not enough under the current situation.

“We abhor the recent hasty incarceration of Hon. Bright Ngene, who is a candidate in a rerun election in Enugu State, whose prison sentence seemed to be politically motivated. We call on the National Judicial Council to look into the case and ensure that justice is done. It is surprising that even when the community, who are the complainants in the case, opted to withdraw the case, the court still proceeded to trial and sentenced him to jail in controversial and suspicious circumstances without giving room for the adoption of written addresses by the parties.

“We also appeal to the Speaker of the Enugu State House of Assembly to as a matter of urgency ensure that in accordance with the standing order of the House, the minority positions due to the Labour Party are given to them without further delay. You recall that recently, some Labour Party members decamped to the PDP, going along with them the minority leadership positions of the Labour Party in the house. Since you have only two parties in the house, It is only right that the Labour Party is now in the minority and should be entitled to their minority leadership positions.

“As the speaker, who is the father to all in the House, it is only right and just that the positions be returned to the Labour Party to ensure fairness and equity.”  

 

BIAFRA NEWS : IPOB asks WAEC, UNIZIK to shift exam, convocation

 

Ahead of its “Biafra’s Heroes Day” slated for May 30 across the South-East, the Indigenous People of Biafra has warned the authorities of the West African Examination Council to shift its scheduled examination for the day.

Similarly, the body asked the authorities of the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, to postpone its convocation ceremony scheduled for the day.

IPOB, in an earlier release by its spokesman, Emma Powerful, announced the stay-at-home on May 30 to celebrate the heroes of Biafra.

To honour its heroes, IPOB asked everyone in the Biafra land to stay at home and set aside the day to celebrate the men and women who died in the Civil War between 1967 and 1970 and beyond.

While noticing that WAEC and UNIZIK had engagements for the day, the pro-Biafran group, in another press statement issued by Powerful on Tuesday, asked that they should reschedule their programmes for the day.

Powerful said the warning became necessary because the movement of persons and vehicles would not be allowed on that day, except for those on essential or emergency services such as health workers, ambulances, fire service, filling stations and hospitals.

“The attention of the global family and movement of IPOB, led by the indomitable leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, is directing the proposed UNIZIK’s convocation date on May 30, 2024, and WAEC examinations to reschedule its convocation and exams to a new date, because May 30 is the ‘Biafra Heroes Day’ and a sit-at-home for all Biafrans in the Biafra land.

“Nevertheless, we are reminding the university management and WAEC board that May 30 of every year is a sacred day set aside to honour Biafra heroes and heroines who paid the ultimate price and sacrifice for the survival of Biafrans.

“That day remains sacred and a day that Biafrans sit at home to remember and honour our heroes who fell during the Nigerian genocidal war against Biafrans between 1967 and 1970. Until the present day, the killing has not stopped. 

“No public event is expected to take place in Biafra land on this day. Biafra Heroes Day is a public holiday and a sit-at-home in Biafra land for Biafrans in honour of our fallen heroes and heroines.”

The statement said all markets, schools, banks, government and private offices were expected to be under lock and key, while the movement of persons and vehicles would not be allowed.

“WAEC board should not endanger the lives of small children because that day is not safe for any individual in Biafra territory.

“It is a day everybody stays indoors for those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for us to live and they must reschedule the date to another day.

“The 30th of May is a Biafran Remembrance Day. Anything that happens to these children they want to bring out that day, they will regret doing so,” it added.

The group warned, “By this open letter, IPOB is calling on the vice chancellor and the management of UNIZIK, Awka and any other people or group that scheduled any programme for 30th May 2024, to postpone their programme. Biafra Heroes Day takes precedence over any programme in Biafra land on that day.”

He warned that doing the contrary, the management should be ready to take responsibility.

“We call on the students, the parents, the guests, and visitors to UNIZIK’s convocation ceremony scheduled for May 30 to apply caution and avoid being on the road the day Biafrans are mourning their dead.

“Safety is an individual responsibility. Don’t endanger yourself. In the past, the Nigerian security forces and their collaborators have killed and set some cars ablaze of those found on the road any time the IPOB calls for a sit-at-home, just to blackmail the IPOB. Don’t be a victim,” the statement read.

BIAFRA NEWS : What my father taught me about Biafra and my heritage

 

Biafra is a dream that haunts me – it was a dream that was on the cusp of being realised and yet failed so painfully,’ recalls Ije Ajibade, telling the story of injustice that has shaped her life

M y  earliest memories of Biafra are the same as my earliest memories of my father. I can remember sitting next to him on a bed and I touched his arm. He turned to me and he said: “Can’t you see your father is crying.” It was many years later that I realised he was crying because of Biafra. That was 50 years ago today. I didn’t see my father cry again. He was mourning the loss of the Biafra dream.

For me and for many of the diaspora, Biafra is a presence that haunts us. It is a part of our history that is not spoken about and yet we try to make sense of it by reading, watching plays and attending lectures. All of this in an attempt to understand this dream that was on the cusp of being realised and yet failed so painfully.

I was two when the war began and four when it ended. This was a civil war in Nigeria fought between the Nigerian government and the eastern region of Nigeria. Predominantly the home of the Igbo people, the eastern region – in response to violence and massacres, as well as political, economic, cultural and religious tensions – declared itself the State of Biafra on 30 May 1967 and seceded from Nigeria. 

 Nigeria was a creation of the British in 1914. It was established for colonial administrative convenience. It merged three separate cultures into one. To the north were the Fulani and Hausa-speaking people, often nomadic, principally of the Muslim faith. To the west of the River Niger were the Yoruba, largely farmers living under a rigid monarchical system and Christian. To the east were the predominantly Igbo-speaking people, also Christian, but with a strain of Judaism and more republican in their outlook. Nigeria is not (and never has been) a cohesive whole. However, in 1960, Nigeria was granted independence. Violence and coups ensued.

 In response to Biafra’s secession, the Nigerian government, backed by the former colonial master, countered with a brutal war. Millions of Biafrans died, most as a result of the deliberate government policy of starvation. From July 1967 to January 1970, Biafrans fought to free themselves from Nigerian oppression and from the lingering vestiges of poisonous colonialism. Biafra was starved into submission. Biafra was, and still is, a powerful vision of freedom and self-determination.

I have a deep and abiding rootedness in Biafra and the UK. My father studied at the LSE in the early 1960s and his first job as an academic was in England. I was born in the UK and brought up in two different cultures. To me, Biafra is a dream and a shadow. It is a dream of my father. I remember bouncing into the kitchen aged nine or 10 (we were living in Norwich at the time) and informing my mother that I was Biafran because Dad said so, and she told me (quite rightly) that Biafra does not exist. I ignored her. This was 1975, five years after the war had ended but my father still dreamed. He was Biafran and so were we. At least once a week we had to eat fufu, a traditional Biafran meal. As far as my father was concerned, fufu, like our Biafran identity, was both compulsory and necessary and he made sure that we knew this. My sisters and me would hanker after fish and chips!

My father died 17 years ago. We flew his body home to be buried. It went without saying that he needed to be laid to rest in the place that was truly home for him. My father’s tie to the home country was a tie to the dream of Biafra. He never stopped believing in Biafra. It was a passion and a dream that consumed him. His passion for Biafra shaped the way my two sisters and I were brought up. His passion for Biafra lingers in my life and has influenced the way I interact with the world and the way in which I struggle and thirst for justice.

 But Biafra is also a shadow. Not just for me, but for many people. It is the shadow of our past in Nigeria as a nation, whether we acknowledge it or not. The shadow of Biafra exists in the memories of the war and the many stories that are told about it behind closed doors. The shadows and dreams of Biafra are invisible but still very profound. 

Dad brought us up to believe in Biafra. He was always deeply passionate about Biafra and our home town of Mbaise. When I was 12, we moved to Nigeria from the UK. Dad wanted us to attend school in Nigeria. We lived in a small town called Idah on the eastern bank of the River Niger in the middle belt region of Nigeria.

My father had unwritten rules. We were not allowed to study in the north. We were not allowed to marry anybody from the north and he gave us strict instructions to marry from Mbaise in the southeast of Nigeria. Needless to say, that was the one time I disobeyed him because I eventually married a Yoruban man from the west of Nigeria.

 The furthest we ever got to the north was a town called Jos and I think we drove through Abuja once. As far as my father was concerned, northern Nigeria was a no-go area. He was living in the shadow of Biafra and when we think about the way so many Biafrans were killed in the north before the war and what is happening today with Boko Haram, I can understand why he felt so strongly about this. 

Some years after his death I remember rebuking a cousin of mine when I heard that she had moved to northern Nigeria. That fear and the shadow were very much alive for me even though I was living in London. These shadows became part of our day-to-day lives, affecting our choices and decisions.

As an adult I can see more deeply how the dream of Biafra has shaped who I am. I am a priest, but I am also a community activist. My thirst for justice and the need for a better world was nurtured by my father and his dream of Biafra. 

 During the war, my father was away campaigning and trying to raise money for an organisation called The Friends of Biafra. His dream was so powerful and the needs of Biafra so urgent that he simply had to leave his family at this crucial time and respond. My youngest sister was born then, but Biafra had to come first.

 His thirst for justice and his activism shaped my own thirst for these things. At eight, I was raising money to buy presents for elderly people in a nearby home. At 10 I was joining sponsored sleep outs for Amnesty International. At 12 I was writing about Steve Biko. The dream of my father continues to shape and influence me in my contemporary social justice activities. 

Biafra is part of who I am. It is part of my family heritage. I remember the stories about the war where my relatives fled from town to town to avoid the approaching Nigerian soldiers. I remember the stories of what they did to survive.

I had a cousin who went by the name of Surpriser. His real name was Goddy and he fought in the Biafran army. During the war he hid the family’s valuables and property by digging a deep hole somewhere on family land. After the war he recovered everything and from that time onwards he was known as “Surpriser”.

As a teenager, I always thought he was rather odd and often under the influence of something but I think the fighting affected him in more ways than we ever fully understood. I wish he was still alive so that I could speak to him and ask him what happened. As an adult as I look back over my life I can see how Biafra has shaped my life in both dreams and shadows. And I know that many of us in the Biafran diaspora have similar stories and experiences.

It is now 50 years after the end of the war and I think it is right for us to remember, because in doing so we honour our ancestors. We honour those who died during the war often from starvation, and we honour those who fought for Biafra.

I think that there is still the need for answers and dialogue about the war. I think it is a shame that Nigeria has never seen the need to have such dialogue or some kind of public acknowledgement or remembrance of the war. These dreams and shadows will never disappear. They need to be embraced and they need to be acknowledged because these dreams and shadows abound today.

The people waving the Biafran flag today in protest are mostly people who were young children during the war and some were not even born at that time. They wave the Biafran flag because the dreams and shadows of Biafra are as strong today as they were when my father had them. These dreams and shadows affect Nigeria today; the shadows will never disappear and the dreams will never die. The Nigerian government needs to realise that silence is not an answer to the truth.

There is a passage in the Bible where God asks Cain “Where is your brother Abel?” Cain tries to rebuff God, but God says: “Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground.” The blood that was shed for Biafra is perhaps part of the reason why these dreams and shadows still exist. It is important for us to remember Biafra but it is also important for Nigeria to remember Biafra and for the United Kingdom to remember the part it played in the cruel devastation of the Biafran people.

As for me and people like me, we will continue to remember, especially through stories and plays, films and drama, dialogue and reflection and through the activism for Biafra that still continues today. Let us continue to remember. Let us continue to dream. Igbo Kwenu! Biafra Kwenu!

BIAFRA NEWS : The Kafkaesque Nigerian Prosecution Of Nnamdi Kanu, By Bruce Fein

 

 There is zero legal justification for the non-nation of Nigeria to prosecute Nnamdi Kanu. 

​If there are more illegal, Kafkaesque prosecutions thanNigeria’s concocted case against IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu in the history of jurisprudence, they do not readily come to mind.

​For starters, consider that Nigeria is not a legal state.  It is without standing to prosecute anyone. Not a single Nigerian voted to make it a nation.  It is the child of illegal British colonialism professedly justified by the opportunistic and now repudiated Doctrine of Discovery, a euphemism for “the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must,” asThucydides observed in his History of the Peloponnesian War.

​Nigeria did not become a legitimate nation in 1960 when illegal British colonization ended.  Under the ‘fruit of the poisonous tree” doctrine, the law refuses to validate the criminal handiwork of an illegal actor. Otherwise, it would pay for nations to engage in criminality.

The British had no right to unilaterally hand off Nigerian sovereignty to a handful of compromised Nigerians in 1960 without a free, transparent, and fair elections organized and conducted by Nigerians. Further, the UK’s decolonization of Nigeria violated the international law requirement, stipulated by the United Nations General Assembly, that independence referenda be held for each discrete peoples in accord with the right of self-determination

 In other words, the 1960 government of Nigeria and Nigeria itself was illegal from top to bottom.  Its successors are equally illegal as representing the fruit of the illegal Doctrine of Discovery. 

​Nigeria’s illegitimate prosecution of Nnamdi Kanu is compounded by the flagrant illegality of the Nigerian Constitution under which the prosecution has professedly been brought.  The 1999 document was ordained by a military dictator with no public input, debate, or vote.  It commands no more legitimacy than a constitution drafted by Satan and distributed by Judas Iscariot. Who gave General Abdulsalami Abubakar the right to dictate a constitution for Nigeria?  He had no writ from God.  Every law passed pursuant to the Nigerian Constitution is null and void as fruit of the poisonous tree, including the laws invoked to justify prosecuting Nnamdi Kanu.

Plus, readers can use the included filter to see just the testimonials from any country. You can also refer prospects to just testimonials from affiliates in their country (a great way to show them that SFI works where they live).

​But there is more. Article 36 of the Constitution mandates that Nigerian tribunals be “independent” and “impartial.” The judge presiding over Nnamdi Kanu’s case, Binta Nyako, is neither. Every lawyer in Nigeria knows the High Court Judge receives her marching orders from the Attorney General.  But none will shout like the child in Hans Christian Andersons’ fairy tale that the Emperor has no clothes for fear of retaliation. Judge Nyako’s subservience to the Attorney General’s demands explains her erratic, vacillating, unreasoned rulings to advance the political agenda of Nigeria’s President.  ​The only neutral, impartial body that has examined Nnamdi Kanu’s case has been the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention.  It unanimously decreed in July 2022—nearly two years ago—that Nnamdi Kanu should be immediately and unconditionally released with reparations because his detention violates sixteen (16) international human rights covenants binding on Nigeria.  As a member of the United Nations, Nigeria is bound to comply with international law as expounded by United Nations institutions.  Nigeria has forfeited its right to sit at the United Nations by its defiance of the Working Group’s order.

​Finally, the Nigerian Supreme Court on December 15, 2023, concluded that Nigerian officials committed the crimes of kidnapping and extraordinary rendition in obtaining custody of Nnamdi Kanu from Nairobi, Kenya.  To highlight the Nigerian government’s crimes and generate support for Nigeria’s expulsion from the United Nations, Nnamdi Kanu should refuse further participation in his court proceedings until the Nigeria government prosecutes to final judgment the Nigerian officials responsible for his criminal abduction, extraordinary rendition, and detention.  That defense should be aggressively argued and highlighted in every filing and proceeding before Judge Nyako.

​There is zero legal justification for the non-nation of Nigeria to prosecute Nnamdi Kanu.  It is indistinguishable from a drive by shooting. Every lawyer and Nigerian citizen who believes in the rule of law should be protesting accordingly. The Nigerian government will never be persuaded by law, only by fear of losing power and legitimacy.

BIAFRA NEWS : Reasons Nnamdi Kanu can't be attempted in Nigeria - IPOB legal counselor, Ejimakor

 Aloy Ejimakor, Extraordinary Advice to Nnamdi Kanu, head of the Native Nation of Biafra, IPOB, has made sense of why the Biafran fomenter can't be attempted in any Nigerian court.

Ejimakor made sense of that Kanu was unlawfully stole in Kenya and exposed to phenomenal version in Nigeria.

He noticed that there was no proof that the assent of Kenyan specialists was acquired before charges were imposed against Kanu.

Review that in June 2021, Kanu was rearrested in Kenya and exposed to uncommon version.

Upon his re-visitation of Nigeria, the National Government summoned Kanu on a four-count pre-interpretation charges.

The previous Principal legal officer of Nigeria, Abubakar Malami, pulled out everything except one of the said 4-count accuses and supplanted them of 14-count charges verging on psychological warfare and participation in a restricted association.

Over time, the Government High Court, in accordance with applications made, diminished the Charges to the 7-counts that were subsequently suppressed by the Court of Allure, in this way prompting the praised judgment releasing Kanu and excepting his preliminary in Nigeria.

Nonetheless, an explanation gave by Ejimakor peruses underneath… ..

"Following his notorious unprecedented version, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was - on 29th June 2021 - subtly summoned and without advantage of his Insight of record under the watchful eye of the Government High Court, Abuja on the 4-count pre-interpretation Charges, remaining against him as of that date.

"The Charges were: treacherous crime; connivance to perpetrate backstabbing lawful offense; unlawful importation of radio hardware; and maligning of President Buhari. In removal practice, these Charges are known as pre-removal Charges or pre-version Charges, like in this specific case.

"In this way, in a huge number of corrections of Charges, the then Head legal officer of Nigeria (Abubakar Malami, SAN) pulled out everything except one of the said 4-count Accuses and supplanted them of a completely new arrangement of 14-count Charges that all verged on psychological oppression and participation in a banished association.

"Over time, the Government High Court, as per applications made, diminished the Charges to the 7 counts that were subsequently suppressed by the Court of Allure, hence prompting the commended judgment releasing Nnamdi Kanu and excepting his preliminary in Nigeria.

"Without bias to any live official procedures as of now forthcoming and concerning Nnamdi Kanu, people in general has an option to be educated regarding whether, after the version, it is lawful for the Head legal officer to leave the pre-interpretation Charges and exhibit an entirely different system of Charges against Nnamdi Kanu, post-version. The basic response is that it is unlawful and underneath are the reasons:

"Under the generally perceived regulation, known as the 'Convention of Specialty' which relates to removals, an outlaw moved from another nation is dependent upon indictment just for those offenses for which the individual was moved. In any case, where his exchange bombed the gather of the law or comprised a version, he isn't to be exposed to any preliminary or detainment however expeditiously got back to whence he was brought. This is precedent-based regulation and Nigeria remembered it and established it in Area 15 of Nigeria's Removal Act, which gives as follows:

"Where, as per the law of any district inside the Province or in compatibility of a removal understanding among Nigeria and another country (regardless of whether inside the Federation), any individual blamed for or unlawfully on the loose after conviction of an offense committed inside the locale of Nigeria is given up to Nigeria by the area being referred to, then, inasmuch as he has not had a sensible chance of getting back to that country, that individual will not be kept (whether under this Demonstration etc.), attempted or generally managed in Nigeria for or in regard of an offense committed by him before his acquiescence to Nigeria other than-(a) the offense for which he was given up or any lesser offense which might be demonstrated by current realities on which his acquiescence was conceded; or (b) some other offense (being one comparing to an offense depicted in segment 20 of this Demonstration) of a similar sort as the offense for which he was given up: Given that an individual falling inside this part will not be confined or pursued for an offense by prudence of passage (b) of this part without the earlier assent of the nation giving up him"

Undoubtedly, the prior arrangements were, as respects Nnamdi Kanu, penetrated in the entirety of their material specifics. To start with, as of nineteenth June 2021 when Nnamdi Kanu was snatched in Kenya, he was confronting a 4-count Charge, none of which included or verged on psychological warfare or prohibited association.

Today, the Charges have been extended to 14 new counts, all of which for all intents and purposes verged on Illegal intimidation. Unarguably, this is an unmistakable infringement of the Principle of Claim to fame, particularly considering the stipulation 'that an individual falling inside this Segment (i.e Segment 15 of Nigeria Removal Act) will not be kept or pursued for any new offense without the earlier assent of the nation giving up him'. This is likewise a one-two punch since raising these new Charges expects he is, subsequent upon the version, offense for the prior Charges, which is off-base.

In this specific case, the "giving up country" is Kenya and there is no proof that her assent was gotten before these new 14-count Charges were brought. Certainly, Area 15 of Nigeria's Removal Act is iron-clad, as it went further to totally bar the confinement and preliminary of such individual under some other regulation, similar to the Organization of Law enforcement Act (ACJA) or the Psychological warfare Avoidance Act, which the arraignment had tried to use in Nnamdi Kanu's case.

Honestly, this is apparent from the initial arrangements of Area 109 of ACJA, which made the beginning of criminal procedures "dependent upon the arrangements of some other regulation". For this situation, that 'other regulation' is the said Area 15 of the Removal Act, on the grounds that Kanu was brought from another country. Furthermore, by the principles of contention of regulations, the Kenyan Removal Act additionally applies in a similar tenor.

Furthermore, as the Court of Allure held, this hindrance to confinement and preliminary of Nnamdi Kanu will, upon his delivery, persevere against any re-capture subsequent upon any new Charges. As such, Kanu should initially be gotten back to Kenya as a beginning stage for any desire for eventually arraigning him in Nigeria for any pre-version or post-interpretation offense. There could be no alternate way.

Alternately, Nigeria likewise rigorously requires a similar Teaching of Specialty to be regarded with regards to outlaws removed from Nigeria to different nations, differentiated to escapees gave up to Nigeria. Segment 3(7) of Nigeria's Removal Act expresses that:

"An outlaw crook will not be given up to any country except if the Head legal officer is fulfilled that arrangement is made by the law of that nation, or that extraordinary plans have been made, to such an extent that, insofar as the criminal has not had a sensible chance of getting back to Nigeria, he won't be kept or attempted in that frame of mind for any offense carried out before his acquiescence other than any removal offense which might be demonstrated by current realities on which his acquiescence is conceded".

The plain significance of the above arrangements is immediately clear, and that is: No nation can snatch, interpretation or generally be allowed removal of any individual from Nigeria without the assent of the Principal legal officer of Nigeria. If perchance, such illicitness were to happen, such an individual must initially be allowed to get back to Nigeria; and before then, the individual can nor be confined, nor attempted in such far off country.

The instance of Abba Kyari best shows the arrangements of this regulation and that is exactly why it appeared to numerous that Nigeria was obstructing Abba Kyari's removal to America; or even the instance of Sunday Igboho, whose removal was vivaciously opposed by the Benin Republic. In this way, you can undoubtedly think about what the result would have been had Nigeria legitimately applied to remove Kanu from Kenya. It is such a result Nigeria tried not to by depend on version which, looking back can't make all the difference, basically on the grounds that it cut Kanu off from his sacred to fair hearing which applies in both Kenya and Nigeria.

Strangely, Kenya, from which Nnamdi Kanu was delivered, had comparable arrangements (or insurance) before any individual gave up from Kenyan soil. Segment 6(3) of the Kenyan Removal Act gives that: "An outlaw will not be given up, or focused on or saved in guardianship for the reasons for give up, except if arrangement is made by the law of the mentioning nation, or by a plan made with that country, for getting that he will not, except if he has first been reestablished or had a chance of getting back to Kenya, be managed in that nation for or in regard of any offense committed before his acquiescence, other than (a) the offense in regard of which his acquiescence is mentioned; or (b) any lesser offense demonstrated by the realities demonstrated under the watchful eye of the Court of committal, or (c) some other removal offense in regard of which the Head legal officer might agree to his being so managed".

As should be visible from above Area 6(3) of the Kenyan Removal Act, all the new post-version Charges negate the appropriate arrangements of Kenya's Removal Act and, surprisingly, that of Nigeria. Hence, no Nigerian court has ward to attempt Nnamdi Kanu for these new Charges. In the praised instance of Gabriel Ezeze versus The Express, the Court held that a substantial issue with an arraignment emerges "assuming it charges any offense in regard of which essential agrees to the establishment or affirmation of the arraignment have not been gotten".

Honestly, the 'important assent' rigorously expected prior to accusing Nnamdi Kanu of any new Charges is that of Kenya, in accordance with Segment 15 of the Nigeria Removal Act, which states  for both the pre-rendition and post-rendition Charges.

BIAFRA NEWS : How Israel upheld BOTH Nigeria and Biafra in nationwide conflict 'twofold game'

 

The Israeli position, as per the strategic links revealed by Haaretz, an Israeli paper, was based to advance its business and political interests and redirect consideration from its own exercises in Palestine.

Israel gave help to Biafra through outsiders while keeping an authority line that it never worked out, as indicated by the declassified archives showing inward conversations inside the public authority.

The nation likewise assisted Nigeria with moving warriors and weapons to the forefront, suggesting that the utilization of an Israeli shipper vessel ought to be formally treated as a commandeer by the bureaucratic military government.
This was in spite of Israel being educated regarding the abominations supposedly dedicated by the Nigerian military on Biafran regular citizens.
Despite the fact that Israel reliably denied supporting Biafra while the conflict seethed, it as of late opened around 40,000 pages of links to general society, revealing insight into its exercises as contained in the documents of the unfamiliar service.
For example, Israel gave $200,000 in two portions to Biafra's delegates to assist them with purchasing weapons from private sources.

A Biafran delegate informed Yehoshua Almog, the consultant at the Israeli consulate in Paris who gave him $100,000 in real money, that Israel was regulating a mission to make sense of for the world that what was occurring in Biafra was commensurate to "destruction".

A few links showed that the mission included watchful "outreach" by Israeli representatives and favorable to Israel associations all over the planet and furthermore the "situation" of commentary pieces in the Western media.

A notice dated July 18, 1968 uncovered that Michael Okpara, previous head of the Eastern district, had subtly visited Israel to meet senior government authorities and it was concurred that weapons caught by the nation in its own conflicts ought to be moved to Biafra.

However, Israeli planes conveying the weapons required a visit some place in Africa since they couldn't fly straightforwardly to Nigeria.

Tanzania was to be the conductor, however there was an issue: President Julius Nyerere didn't endorse it, in spite of perceiving Biafra.

President Félix Houphouët-Boigny of Côte d'Ivoire, a solid ally of Biafra and a partner of Israel, had likewise forced the country to help Biafra with weapons, offering that they could be moved through his nation while possibly not straightforwardly.

Israeli help for Biafra was to redirect consideration from its own exercises in Palestine, the links uncovered

.
In a Walk 23, 1969 message, Yael Vered, overseer of the Center East division at the unfamiliar service, educated the Israeli consulate in London regarding the goal to "start and help an enormous scope promulgation crusade for Biafra to redirect a portion of the compassion toward the Palestinians to this mistreated individuals and to condemn the lethal job of the Bedouins on account of Biafra at the same time".

This was concerning the utilization of Egyptian pilots to fly the Nigerian planes that were utilized for bombarding missions in Biafra.

Israel more than once denied supporting Biafra, yet the unfamiliar service was in the loop of the "private" mission of weapons deals and was organizing it with a portion of the Israelis who were acting "secretly", as found in the declassified links.

To be sure, in practically no time before the conflict broke out, Israel had associated the public authority of Eastern Nigeria with arms sellers in Europe.

In an August 15, 1966 link, Moshe Bitan, representative chief general of the unfamiliar service, told Smash Nirgad, the minister to Nigeria, that a Biafran designation was in Israel on a mysterious mission.

With £1.5 million (around $4.2 million then, at that point) taken care of, the Biafrans needed to purchase 2,000 rifles, 500 automatic weapons, 100 guns, 1,000 hand projectiles as well as ammo, and mentioned Israel's help.

Bitan said he and his boss, Aryeh Levavi, chose to help by giving contact subtleties to an arms specialist in Europe who might have the option to sell them both Israeli and non-Israeli weapons.

In a wire dated February 27, 1967, Moshe Leshem, top of the Africa division, kept in touch with Nirgad on the charges of arms shipments from Israel to Biafra.

He said "just the charge about the action of private Israeli sellers is valid. Nonetheless, this can't be rehashed nor conceded"

.

…Also, On the side OF NIGERIA

While supporting Biafra through back channels, Israel transparently permitted Nigeria to utilize a trader vessel to ship 750 fighters, barrels of fuel, bombs, explosives, weapons, light ammo, trucks and 150 cows to the conflict front in November 1967.

Joseph Edet Akinwale Wey, the head of maritime staff and second-in-order to Yakubu Gowon, had mentioned Israel's endorsement to involve the Israeli vessel for the conveyance of weapons and troopers to the disaster area.

He, in any case, cautioned that in the event that the solicitation was not conceded, the vessel would be seized by the Nigerian government.

Leshem told Nirgad on November 10 that "it is more advantageous for us to have them seize the boat than to chip in it. You can perceive the commandant of the naval force that we will acknowledge the seizure and won't help it".

In his reaction, dated November 12, Nirgad expressed piece of the Israeli team would not sail to the disaster area and the Nigerian unfamiliar priest had asked him to talk with them actually.

He was likewise stressed that the boat flying an Israeli banner could stun "our companions in Biafra".

Nirgad boarded the boat and tended to the team as mentioned by Nigeria, however he depicted the experience as "a troublesome discussion that went on around more than two hours. I confronted a blast of inquiries on reliable, compassionate and public grounds and basically about their feelings of dread toward risk… I didn't drive the team, yet at the same time out of shielding the organization that possesses the boat's advantages and all together not to be blamed by the Nigerian experts for a disappointment verging on harm, I drove the group in the discussion so that practically every one of them were persuaded to stay on the boat".

In additional help, a shipment of 81-mm mortars from Israel showed up in Lagos on an Israeli boat in July 1968.

After Nirgad detailed the improvement to Yohanan Bein, boss right hand in the service's Africa division, the Israeli unfamiliar service put out an announcement impugning "the unfathomable human experiencing that burdens portions of the populace in eastern Nigeria, and that stirs profound sensations of shock among every person, and specifically among our kin who have encountered brutal experiencing throughout the long term".

Israel additionally offered jeeps and correspondence gear to the two sides, as uncovered in the links.

Gowon would later grumble to Nirgad that notwithstanding his nation's disavowals, "certain things were as yet found, for example, Israeli correspondences gear that the government powers found in the regions they had freed from Biafra".

Nirgad kept up with Israel's "genuine" support for the national government and helped Gowon to remember Israel's "progressing help" — however Leshem affirmed to Nirgad in a January 18, 1968 wire that for sure, correspondences hardware was sent from Israel to Biafra.

Caution: This part contains realistic subtleties that a few perusers could view as disturbing.

REPORTS OF WAR Wrongdoings

In December of that very year, while Nigeria was arranging the acquisition of correspondences gear with Israel, a few upsetting reports came from the conflict front.

The Israeli unfamiliar service got a report from Yoram London, a clinical specialist who headed a group of Israeli doctors that was helping Biafran regular folks.

That's what london detailed "the Nigerian armed force annihilated the whole Igbo populace including ladies and youngsters… we are aware of demonstrations of maltreatment against pregnant ladies".

He portrayed a case in which government warriors cut open the midsection of a lady in her 10th month of pregnancy without killing her, "and took out the living baby, shot it and afterward played football with it".

He additionally said there were places "where government troopers cut off the legs of small kids and infants and left them alive".

On October 19, 1968, the emergency clinic where the Israeli clinical group was remaining was designated from the air with three bombs, which brought about 32 losses.

The Global Red Cross proposed that the clinic was bombarded on the grounds that the national government pilots were from Egypt and they had some awareness of the presence of the Israeli clinical group there.

 

THE IGBOS AND JEWS Connections

In spite of the fact that Igbos marked themselves as the "Jews of Nigeria" in their cooperation with Israel, government authorities could have done without the examination of "slaughter" with "the Holocaust" wherein a large number of Jews were killed in a mission by Adolf Hitler to eliminate the Jewish race during the 1940s.

In a message shipped off Jerusalem on July 30, 1968, Nirgad communicated irateness at the examinations made by Biafran pioneers between the destiny of the Jews and that of the Igbo public.

He said the objective of the Nigerian government was not to eradicate the Igbo yet rather, as Gowon guaranteed, to "smother a defiance and give the Igbo nation their full privileges in their Nigerian country".

On Gowon, Nirgad expressed: "I will more often than not have confidence in his own trustworthiness."

Many declassified messages showed that there were senior authorities in the Israeli unfamiliar service who needed to stop Israeli food help, contending that the Biafran administration wouldn't favor food to weapons anyway.

They cautioned against harm to Israel's relations with the national government, taking note of that the actual exchange of food to the disaster area in Biafra was, in itself, a muddled activity.

They also killed senior military officers mostly of northern origin, leading to resentment in the north that the coup was targeted at them — with most of the coup plotters being Igbo or associated with Igbo identity.

No Igbo politician was killed while only one Igbo army officer was among the 22 causalities.

The coup attempt eventually failed and the most senior military officer, Aguiyi-Ironsi, assumed power amid tensions in northern Nigeria over the killing of their leaders.

Northern officers regrouped and, in July 1966, launched the so-called counter-coup in which Aguiyi-Ironsi was killed.

 

Igbo civilians in several northern cities were killed by mobs in retalition over the January coup.

The mass killing and displacement of Igbo civilians in the north, which was not actively discouraged by the new military government led by Gowon, led to threats of secession by the Eastern region, led by Odumegwu Ojukwu, then a colonel.

In May 1967, Ojukwu declared the Republic of Biafra consisting of present-day south-east and south-south states (minus Edo and Delta) after a series of failed negotiations with the federal military government.

Biafra was formally recognised by Gabon, Haiti, Ivory Coast, Tanzania, and Zambia, and supported significantly by France through military and diplomatic means.

The civil war ended in January 1970 with the surrender of Biafra after millions of casualties.
