There Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is presently rattled by the alleged threat by terrorists to attack Federal Government facilities at Abuja.
IPOB in a statement by its spokesperson,Emma Powerful on Thursday has urged the federal government to release its leader,Nnamdi Kanu without further delay even as it has reminded of the United Nation’s(UN) warning on any form of harm upon him in detention.
Powerful warned that IPOB will not fold its arms if anything happens to its leader. He said “We are a reminding Nigeria and her Security Agencies that the world through UN Right group has mandated for unconditional release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and the appropriate compensation paid to him without delay because he commited no crime against Nigeria and her sovereignty.
” The UN Group warned that if anything untoward happens to him it will be disastrous to Nigeria, and IPOB is ready to carry this order to the letter.
“As Nigeria is closing schools, businesses, and other activities because of fulani terrorists threat to attack Abuja, it clearly shows that Abuja is no longer safe for people to live. Hence our unequivocal demand for the unconditional release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu before anything happens to him. We demand prompt and complete implementation of the UN directives concerning Mazi Nnamdi Kanu” Powerful said.

He continued “Binta Nyako and her jurists should know that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s life is in danger while being detained in DSS custody Abuja. Again, she should know that these terrorists attacked Nigeria Defence Academy (NDA) Kaduna, War Training College Jaji in Kaduna, Kuje Prisons Abuja and other security facilities in Abuja, therefore DSS facility is not immune to attack by these state sponsored terrorists” Powerful sated.
Speaking about Igbo politicians who have distanced themselves from their people ,Powerful said ” We pity those Igbo leaders and politicians who commit crimes in Igboland and ran to Abuja thinking that nothing will happen.
“The narratives has changed and they will run to Lagos but Lagos will not be safe for them, then they will come back home soon and answer questions unless they run to abroad. One day all the evil and killer politicians from BIAFRA land will be held to account, and only the good ones will walk as free men and women.
“This is opportunity to make peace with your people because danger is approaching to Nigeria soon, the country has collapse” Powerful said.
