The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has accused the Nigerian government of violating court orders, and detaining and persecuting its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, because he refused to compromise on his stand to seek the actualisation of Biafra Nation.



IPOB in a statement issued on Thursday by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, said despite court judgments in favour of Kanu, the Nigerian government has continued to detain him, He lamented how Kanu has been detained by the Department of State Services (DSS) since June 2021 when he was arrested in Kenya and extraordinarily renditioned to Nigeria.




The IPOB spokesperson said, “Since then, he has been illegally detained in solitary confinement of the lawless DSS facility in Abuja, Nigeria, despite court judgments in favour of Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB.



“In October 2022, the Nigerian Appeals Court in Abuja  discharged and acquitted him, but the lawless government of Nigeria refused to release him. 




“Also, the UN Committee on Arbitrary Detention condemned the abduction, extraordinary rendition, and illegal detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and called for his unconditional release. 




“All these resolutions and court judgments have been disobeyed by the same lawless Federal Government of Nigeria. 




“Nigeria is illegally detaining him while they are targeting to destroy IPOB. IPOB and Ndigbo globally must continue the campaign for the unconditional release of Nnamdi Okwu Kanu. 




“He did not commit any offence for seeking self-determination for the marginalised Indigenous people of Biafra. 




“Instead, his demand is in line with the UN convention on Civil and Political Rights for the Indigenous People of Biafra. 




“The Nigerian government and her cronies know that Kanu has not committed any crime known to local or international bodies, but continue to display their ethnic hatred against Ndigbo by persecuting Nnamdi Kanu. 




“He has not been let go because he has not compromised his stand on Biafra, and IPOB has not been destroyed. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is being persecuted, not prosecuted.




“IPOB and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu remain resolute in our demand for a referendum and will not be intimidated and persecuted into submission by the tyranny of the government of Nigeria.”
