Director of pirate radio, Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, was on Saturday, reportedly arrested by Nigeria secret police, the Department of State Services (DSS).
Kanu, who is also acclaimed to be the Director of Biafra Television and the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), was said to have been arrested in Lagos, yesterday.
The Deputy Director of Radio Biafra, Uche Mefor, alongside other members of the group, in a marathon broadcast on the pirate radio, alleged that Kanu was arrested in Lagos by the security operatives, as he flew into Nigeria from his base in the UK.
The group in a tweet on Sunday, via its Twitter handle, confirmed the arrest.

In a statement published on its website, the separatist movement also confirmed that their Director has been arrested in Lagos by the Nigerian authorities, noting that it (Nigeria) has through this arrest played into the grand strategy of Biafrans. See statement here:
However, at the time of filing this report, the arrest is yet to be confirmed by this newspaper, even as the DSS authorities were yet to publicly make any statement about the arrest.
IPOB is a separatist movement that call for the independence of Nigeria’s former Eastern Region – proclaimed the Republic of Biafra in 1967 and reannexed to Nigeria three years later, following a civil war that claimed between one and three million lives.

I hereby advice FGN to follow due process in dealing with any separatist. Nigeria remains one no matter the situation. Nnamdi kanu is not above the law.
ReplyDeleteHe has not committed any crime, his abduction by the DSS is just to help IPOB achieve their aim, the Nigerian government is just playing into their hands.
DeleteThe world is watching.

ReplyDeleteI think this rebel should be dealt with according to the laws...
ReplyDeleteTurakin u are the greatest fool on earth. Ur brother shekau has been wasting innocent lives in Nigeria and u haven't called for his arrest and prosecution. U are a parasite in this country. Aboki!! I am convinced u are a boko haram member. Idiot.
DeleteCoward u are retarded....a bigot mutherfucker..perhaps u might be the next...his arrest might be the life safer for millions of igbos that may have been killed if the war he called for was actualized....
DeleteWhich law? Is it because of the word BIAFRA? What offence did he commit?
DeleteIt's not achievement arresting a genuine person seeking for independence of his people in a country marred by corruption. After all, mossob are not carrying arms and shedding blood like boko haram. Dss should go and arrest shekau
ReplyDeleteWhat has Nnamdi Kanu done wrong, in Nigeria we have freedom of speech, Pastor Tunde Baker, during the fuel subsidy strike, said that former President Goodluck Jonathan was clueless and senseless, was he arrested, NO, are we bringing back decree 4?.
ReplyDeleteThe DSS is quick to arrest the so-called Kanu but has been flat-footed to arrest Shekau and the other leaders and financiers of Bokos. Where is Maryln Ogar. Hmmmmmm. DSS at work. FIGHT AGAINST THOSE WHO FIGHT AGAINST YOU. The Boko boys are beckoning not the so called radio station. THEY SHOULD TREAD SOFTLY. JAY 2, Abuja. .
ReplyDeleteWell said...don't mind all these nama from the north who have nothing nothing to offer
DeleteGOD PUNISH YOU # TURAKIN NIJERIA. Which law
ReplyDeleteAlas the daft government has now made hin a hero. Even the non igbos will fight the separation agenda. how stupid can a government get? They can roll out all the Lai Muhammed APC/govt propoganda he likes but we all know know that they more obsessed with non-violent kanu that the northern terrorist fighting the state.
ReplyDeleteYes, anybody can be arrested. Take Kanu to court, and prove his crime. This is democracy, if he does not appear in court,in 24 hrs, then DSS Buhari is a military junta
ReplyDeleteFinally he is in the zoo. Who's next...
ReplyDeleteShakau is next so go and get him
DeleteDSS shld try something more challenging like arresting Shakau not making noise abt arresting an unarmed man.
ReplyDeleteWe pray the Igbos donot suffer thesame affliction, a second time due to the activities of these miscreants in the guise of MOSOB and Radio Biafra.
ReplyDeleteDSS go and arrest Shakua and live Nnamdi Kanu alone
ReplyDeleteA country that does not operate with law,black africa why are u so wicked? No Wonder u are poor
