Biafra: Ex-militants give FG 31-day ultimatum to
release Kanu

Niger Delta ex-militant leaders in support of the
Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) struggle have
given Federal Government 31-day deadline to
free the leader of the group and Director of
Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, or face the
consequences.
Also, the former warlords warned security
agencies against tampering with the life of the
IPOB leader, who is detained at Kuje Prison.
Spokesperson of the concerned ex-militants,
simply identified as General Ben, warned that at
the expiration of the ultimatum, they would
resume massive abduction of expatriates as a
first step.
The spokesperson declared that Federal
Government should not underrate the activities
of the militants in the Niger Delta, no matter the
number of soldiers deployed against them.
He fumed: “The ex-militant leaders in Ebeocha
IPOB are warning the Federal Government and
are giving them 31 days to release Nnamdi Kanu,
the leader of IPOB and Director of Radio Biafra.
“We are giving Federal Government deadline; if
they fail to release him, the country would be
vandalised. He is fighting a just cause. Nothing
should happen to him and Federal Government
should not forget what we can do,” he
threatened.
They accused the Federal Government of
marginalising a section of the country, pointing
out that the approach of the Presidency on
issues bordering on the entire geo-political zones
were treated unjustly and with bias.
Speaking on the recent invasion of the homes of
their colleagues by security operatives, General
Ben said the action was meant to intimidate
them. “Federal Government wants to use that
way to harm us. But we are warning that they
(FG) should not forget our capabilities. They
think we can be intimidated by that approach.
No way!
“Federal Government should know that the
detention of Nnamdi Kanu and raid of the
residences of our colleagues are enough reasons
to collapse the society.”
“It is sad. We are not happy because things are
not working the right way in the country. We are
marginalised and hunted. We are saying ‘enough
is enough’. We are no longer interested in this
country again,” he declared.
