The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has stated that
nothing short of unconditional release of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, will be
accepted.
The group said it was a waste of time for the
federal government to think that they can soften Kanu by depositing him in
prison, thereby making him beg them for freedom.
A statement made available to THISDAY by the
group's spokesperson, Emma Powerful, stated that: "Instead of our leader
to renounce Biafra, he would renounce Nigeria publicly, mark our words!
"We are not after securing bail for our leader,
we are after his freedom and freedom for the people of Biafra. Even a child
born today knows that any attempt to tamper with Kanu's life will bring the
sort of calamity too horrible to imagine in Nigeria."
The group warned that should anything happens to
Kanu, Somalia will be a paradise
compared to what will happen in Nigeria.
They reiterated that they are not asking for bail for
Kanu, but demanding his immediate and unconditional release as ordered by the
Federal High Court in Abuja.
