The Indigenous People of Biafra
(IPOB) has asked residents of the South-East not to sit at home on Thursday, as
its leader, Maxi Nnamdi Kanu goes to court.
Media and Publicity Secretary of
IPOB, Emma Powerful in a statement said: “We wish to inform Biafrans, friends
of Biafra and lovers of freedom that our Leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will be in
court tomorrow, December 2, 2021, in Abuja.
“We, therefore, urge Biafrans
living in Abuja and its environs to come out en mass to solidarize with our
leader.
“Meanwhile, there will be no
lockdown tomorrow in any part of Biafra land as a result of the court
appearance. Biafrans residents in Biafra land, as well as visitors to Biafra
land, are free to go about their lawful businesses without fear of molestations
or intimidation.
“We have not asked or authorised
anybody to monitor or enforce any lockdown. Again, there will be no lockdown in
Biafra land for tomorrow’s court appearance of our Leader.
“Only Biafrans and friends of
Biafra in Abuja and its environs that are encouraged to be at the court
premises. As a non-violent movement, we urge everyone to remain peaceful and
law-abiding in all their conduct. Security operatives should also refrain from
infringing on the fundamental rights of people who come to cheer our leader.”
Powerful said Kanu was not being
persecuted because of any crime other than his fight for the freedom of Igbo
people, as such, the people owe him a duty to stand by him until this darkness
is over.
He commended the legal team of
the group for what he called their untiring efforts to defend their leader who
he said is innocent of the charges preferred against him. He urged all Biafrans
to keep praying for him and the full restoration of the Biafra Republic.
