The leadership of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has described the silence of the south-east governors over the continuous detention of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu as worrisome.
According to the group, the silence of the Igbo political leaders didn’t depict he Kanu was their true son as claimed before.
IPOB’s director of media and publicity, Emma Powerful, in a statement, said the continuous detention of its leader by the Department of State Services, DSS, after he had been discharged by the Court of Appeal was against his fundamental human rights.
The statement read: “following the landmark judgment of October 13, 2022, by the Federal Court of Appeal, sitting in Abuja that unequivocally discharged and acquitted Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the Ohamadike of Biafra land of all the trumped up charges brought against him by the Fulani government of Nigeria, the silence from south-east governors and political leadership gives room for concern.
“We the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra under the command and leadership of our great leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu are compelled to ask Igbo governors, senators, House of Representative members, ministers, House of Assembly members in every state in Biafraland why the silence over the continued illegal detention of their son, Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu Kanu despite the fact that a court of competent jurisdiction, the Court of Appeal, has discharged and acquitted him of all the charges brought against him by the Nigerian government?
“IPOB has been observing the countenance of Igbo politicians from the moment the Appeal Court ruled in favour of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and wonder whether this silence is as a result of these leaders being cowardly and afraid of the Fulani government or whether they are accomplices to the kidnapping and extraordinary renditioning of their son? If they are afraid of the Fulani cabal who are running the affairs of this country, it means they are cowards and are unworthy to represent our people in every event in Nigeria.
“IPOB is asking these questions because our patience is not and will not be infinitely elastic. The continued detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu
