IPOB PRESS RELEASE
17/07/2024
The global family and movement of the Indigenous People of
Biafra (IPOB) led by the resolute leader, Mazi Nnamdi Okwu Kanu once again call
for the unconditional release of our leader from DSS solidarity confinement
over his deteriorating health condition. The Nigerian government is
intentionally provoking IPOB by refusing to release our leader even when the
Nigerian and International Courts have ordered for his unconditional release.
IPOB wishes to reiterate that the life of our leader, Mazi
Nnamdi Kanu, is in danger in the solitary confinement of the DSS in Abuja. We
have persistently called on the Nigerian government to release our leader as
both international and local law institutions have ordered for his release.
Many prominent Nigerians, religious, traditional, and political leaders,
including 50 members of the National Assembly, have equally called for his
release. But the Tinubu's Government has refused to listen to the voice of
reason by refusing to release Mazi Kanu, just like his notorious predecessor's
government of Buhari. Tinubu's government has discontinued similar cases of
terrorism and treason charges against two Yoruba Activists and a Fulani militia
leader. In the case of an Igbo man, unarmed freedom activist Mazi Nnamdi Kanu,
this same Tinubu's government, have vehemently refused to release him. Mazi
Nnamdi Kanu had subsisting local and international judgments that ordered for
his release, unlike the other cases discontinued by the federal government
without any court judgment. We are enumerating all these injustices to
demonstrate that the Federal Government of Nigeria is intentionally provoking
the anger of IPOB and Ndigbo. IPOB has maintained a non-violence approach in
the Biafra struggle irrespective of the high-handedness of the Nigerian
government against Biafra Activists.
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is seriously sick and must be released
unconditionally from DSS solidarity confinement for him to treat himself before
something unpredictable and unimaginable happens to him.
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's health is going down every day under DSS
solitary confinement because of the nature of his health issues. IPOB is calling on President Bola Ahmed
Tinubu and his Attorney General fatai Fagbemi again to free Mazi Nnamdi Kanu so
that he can go and treat himself before it's too late. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and
IPOB members have been persecuted for over a decade by the Nigerian State
because of Biafra's self-determination. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was kidnapped and
extraordinarily renditioned to Nigeria and has been detained in solitary confinement
for over 3 years. Although no court in Nigeria has found him guilty yet he is
being persecuted by the tribal bigot government of Nigeria.
President Ahmed Bola Tinubu, please note that Mazi Nnamdi
Kanu is sick and something terrible can happen to him if he is not released.
Nothing must happen to him in the DSS solitary confinement in Abuja. As John F.
Kennedy said, "Those who make peaceful change impossible will make violent
change inevitable."
