A faction of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign States of Biafra (MASSOB) has given the Federal Government a week’s ultimatum to release Nnamdi Kanu.
Nnamdi Kanu, upon arrival from the United Kingdom, was arrested by the Department of State Security a few weeks ago.
Ever since his arrest, series of protests have been staged by his supporters across the nation, especially the South East and South South.
The Indigenous People of Biafra, speaking through its Director of Information, Comrade Uche Madu, said its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, who’s also the Director of Radio Biafra, should be freed within 2-weeks.
“MASSOB would unleash the potency of non-violence which includes civil disobedience, civil unrest, non-cooperation, civil /massive boycott as was done during the emancipation struggle of Ghandi of India & Martin Luther King junior”.
“For the sake of Biafra’s love for our fatherland and the spirit of brotherhood, MASSOB shall continue to identify with genuine and selfless Biafra agitation as showcased in Nnamdi Kanu.
“Only some few disgruntled elements and Abuja errand boys from eastern region are always against Biafra. MASSOB shall hold Igbo governors, National Assembly members, traditional rulers and opinion leaders heavily responsible if Nnamdi Kanu is not released coming week.
“The continued detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will worsen the already fragile security situation in Nigeria. Factional MASSOB, IPOB and other genuine groups are now ready.”
