  The indigenous people of Biafra will embark on locking down the South-East region of Nigeria until the Nigerian government releases its leader, Nnamdi Kanu. The group also stated that the President Muhammadu Buhari government was planning to subject its leader to a media trial before October 21, adding that it would do everything within its reach to free its leader. In a release  statement by the group’s spokesman, Emma Powerful, on Wednesday, IPOB stated that it would commence the weekly lockdown on Monday, August 9.

Coalitions of 52 northern groups on Monday called on the global community to intervene in persuading the Nigerian government and United Nations to facilitate the final actualisation of the Biafran dream by the Igbo. While describing as empty and of no effect “threats and promises” by President Muhammadu Buhari, the CNG said “between December 2020 and April 2021, over 970 students were abducted from their schools in the northern part of Nigeria with a substantial number still in captivity and some violently executed.” The spokesperson of CNG, Abdul-Azeez Suleiman, raised the views in a communiqué after an emergency meeting in Abuja.

He said, “ The CNG hereby resolves to call on our friends and the international community, the UK especially, to understand that our bilateral friendship is guided by the principles of sovereignty, promotion of peace and...

IPOB said this while reacting to a statement made by the Presidency through the presidential media aide, Garba Shehu on Wednesday that the military will soon crush members of the secessionist group in the South-East. Shehu had claimed that the secession agenda and activities in Nigeria were no more thriving due to the failure of secessionists to intimidate and extort money from President Muhammadu Buhari. This was contained in a media interaction he had at the secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja. He assured that the recent spate of insecurity in the South-East would soon be a thing of the past, as the army would soon crush criminals terrorising the zone. “One thing is that you can’t intimidate Buhari. You can’t bully him. A lot of these people who are calling for s...
