In a press statement issued to newsmen on Thursday, August 11, by
Emma Powerful, IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, in Onitsha, the
Anambra state capital, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has
revealed that the Federal Government, through the Attorney-General and
Minister of Justice, released all their members who were arrested by
various security agencies in Aba, Abia State, during their prayer rally
in February this year.
According to Vanguard, the release of their members who were
clamped into detention camps and prison custody, threw the IPOB members
into jubilation in various parts of Onitsha, Anambra state, although the
jubilation did not take place publicly as they did when a court granted
their leader, Nnamdi Kanu bail, some time last year.
The statement said all IPOB members worldwide under the leadership
of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the Director of Radio Biafra were commending the
Attorney-General of the Federation, AGF and all those who have common
sense to understand that all those arrested in Aba must be released.
The released members
“We also urge the AGF and his team who understand the meaning
of non-violent approach towards the liberation of those in bondage in
this country to extend such a gesture to other members who were detained
in different prisons and security cells in the country, including their
leader, Nnamdi Kanu by releasing them without any conditional
attachment.”
“IPOB is a liberation movement dedicated to the self
determination of the indigenous people of Biafra in line with
universally acclaimed processes and procedure. Having launched
Biafrexit, IPOB is fully committed to pursuing a referendum to determine
once and for all, the time the issue of the sovereignty of Biafra would
come.
“The same way the British government of David Cameron allowed
the Scottish nation to freely choose if they want to be part of the UK
or not, and most recently, Brexit that culminated into the removal of
Britain from the EU, we, in IPOB will continue to demand the civilized
world to prevail on Buhari to allow Biafrans to freely choose where they
wish to belong.
“The issue of Biafra self determination cannot be swept under
the carpet because Biafra is in black Africa where acceptable civilized
standards are lacking. What is good for Scotland and Britain at large is
also good for Biafra.
“We therefore urge the AGF to continue on this path by
releasing all Biafra detainees including the IPOB leader Worldwide, Mazi
Nnamdi Kanu, whose continued illegal detention is the primary reason
Nigeria is falling apart today.
“Buhari’s government underestimated the strength of IPOB and
the appeal of Nnamdi Kanu’s message which continues to gain ground on a
daily basis around the entire globe and no doubt, events have vindicated
the stance of IPOB as numerous nationalities are now crying out for
freedom,” the statement read.
