Nnamdi's Kanu's Arrest: Biafrans undeterred - IPOB Deputy Leader

Biafrans are in high spirit. This is despite the arrest and illegal detention of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu, who also doubles as the Director of the firebrand radio station, Radio Biafra and Biafra Television. In a message by the deputy leader of the IPOB, Uche Mefor, Biafrans were urged to remain focused and undeterred.

Every family unit were urged to increase their activities for the cause of Biafra, while remaining vigilant.

Message from Mefor reads as follows:

"Fellow Biafrans and all men and women of goodwill, the detention, the incarceration of the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, by the Nigerian State and her murderous agents is an assault on free speech. An injury to Nnamdi is an injury to all.

We must all remain resolute. Nnamdi Kanu remains the Director of Radio Biafra, Biafra Television and the Leader of Indigenous People of Biafra. Make NO MISTAKE about this----all his intentions and thoughts will continue to guide this movement, all family structures worldwide remain intact and all meetings and gatherings must continue with unparalleled intensity.

Nnamdi Kanu remains an individual at risk and a prisoner of conscience and the free world, the international and rights communities must take note and live up to their responsibilities.

Uche Mefor: Deputy Leader Indigenous People of Biafra

On an even more direct and specific terms, and to all families of the Indigenous People of Biafra, the time is now.If you are a true Biafran, you must respond to simple directives in accordance with dictates and realities of the moment!You must use every platform at your disposal to let the world know of the unlawful detention of the Peoples' leader, Nnamdi Kanu.Thank you.

Indigenous People of Biafra

Radio Biafra in a news yesterday confirmed that "agent of the Nigeria, Directorate of State Security (DSS) in Lagos kidnapped the Director of Radio Biafra, Biafra Television and the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra Worldwide, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. 

"In a marathon broadcast of the Radio Biafra this afternoon, Saturday, September 17, 2015, hosted by Mazi Uche Mefor, the Deputy Director and with the entire members of the Directorate of States of the IPOB in attendance, this sad but real news broadcast was laid beard to the listening audience of the Radio Biafra.

"However, the Deputy Director, Uche Mefor emphatically expressed the family’s determination and resolved to carry on with the project of Biafra restoration. “Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is and remains our Director and Leader of the struggle. Every structure of the IPOB remains intact. All family meetings must go on as usual. We enjoin all members and principal officers to stay active and never give up faith. If they think that detaining of the Director will shake our resolve, they better think again. Rather discourage, it will spur us all the more to action.” Uche Concluded.

Other Members of the Directorate of States took turns to expressed their commitment and loyalty to both the Biafran struggle and outright condemnation of the unwarranted detaining of the Director Radio Biafra.

Notwithstanding the recent development, Radio Biafra and Biafra Television will continue with their broadcast as usual.
