The Indigenous People of Biafra Worldwide, owners of Radio Biafra,
has written an open letter to world leaders over the arrest of its
leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
Kanu was picked up yesterday night by the Department of State Service, DSS.
A
letter by Ifeanyi Chijioke on behalf of the group, said the arrest of
Kanu had shown that freedom of speech in Nigeria was a ruse.
The group also threatened to fight the Nigerian government if Kanu was not freed.
“The
world leaders must stand up to its integrity, pride, and in defense of
the law they made,” the group said, adding that “the UN chatter on the
rights of indigenous people had become endangered with the arrest of
this leader of indigenous people of Biafra.”
“It’s
on record that Nnamdi kanu is a law abiding leader who has disciplined
indigenous people of Biafra to strictly abide by local and international
law. The gut for his arrest is nothing but slap on the face of United
Nations.
“Meanwhile, this is a gross provocation of indigenous
people of Biafra and, as endangered people, would only wait shortly for
due process and immediate release of her leader.
“The
world should know that arrest of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is the making of
monster in indigenous people of Biafra and to prevent and save lives,
world leaders must stand up to their responsibility.
“Biafrans, as
endangered species of terror, genocide, murder and unlawful detentions,
must be sorted or laws will be taken into their hands.
“Biafrans
call on world leaders to prevail on Buhari to with immediate effect
release the leader of the people as he is charged with no crime”, he
added.
