The Indigenous People of Biafra Worldwide, a group
championing the secession of Biafra from Nigeria and which owns Radio Biafra
used for this purpose, on Sunday wrote an open letter to world leaders over the
plight of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, allegedly in the hands of the Directorate of
State Service, DSS.
Kanu is believed to have been arrested in Nigeria by the
DSS, as claimed by the group.
In the letter written by Ifeanyi Chijioke on behalf of the
group, the members said that with the arrest of Kanu, freedom of speech had
received a knock of death.
“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 in 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 must world leaders 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 lawless Buhari
to with immediate effect release the leader of the people as he is charged with
no crime. Indigenous people of Biafra had never been associated with any
bombing or killing as Boko Haram or ISIS neither are they terrorists or
unlawful people.”
The group further urged world leaders Kanu and others, who
it called defenseless persons, killed of incarcerated.
“Biafrans call for immediate release of their leader as this
is a continuation of the genocidal acts against them.
Pushing a people to the wall will only force atomic reaction
and no time will death of justice help the conscience of man.
“The immediate release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will show
commitments at preservation of justice, safety, supremacy of law and also is
the only way to avoid the second genocide of Biafrans as we will gladly embrace
death and mayhem for this cause,” the group threatened.
