Nnamdi Kanu expresses gratitude, warns infiltrators to take their evil enterprise elsewhere

 Nnamdi Kanu expresses gratitude, warns infiltrators to take their evil enterprise elsewhere

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, on Monday, expressed gratitude to the efforts of his legal team and also warned infiltrators who have failed to respect the decision of the structure he put in place or look elsewhere.

The IPOB lead Counsel, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, disclosed this in a statement he made available yesterday on his verified Facebook page, after the legal team led by Chief Mike Ozekhome visited Kanu, at the detention facility of the Department of State Security, DSS, in Abuja, last Monday.

The statement read in Full

Our full legal team ably led by the foremost constitutional lawyer, human rights activist distinguished Senior Advocate of Nigeria  (SAN), Chief Mike Ozekhome, jointly conducted today’s court-ordered visit. 

Far reaching legal strategies were discussed and harmonized, and as usual, Onyendu was profoundly overwhelmed and delighted to host his full legal team, ably led by the legal Iroko of our time.

Chief Ozekhome,SAN, took time to address all areas of legal interest as they affect Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's case, including further fresh actions to be explored in challenging Onyendu’s illegal kidnap and extraordinary rendition to Nigeria. 

In the coming days, our indefatigable legal team, eminently headed by the erudite Silk, Chief Ozekhome, SAN, will be unveiling further legal actions against the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) and all parties involved and responsible in the brutal abduction and extraordinary rendition of Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to Nigeria. 

There must be legal consequences for the flagrant violation of Onyendu’s extant constitutional rights, which included acts of torture,mental and physical,meted out to him and his continued confinement in a  solitary environment. 

More legal actions will be filed for the FGN to contend with in the coming days,even as we await the all important  court ruling on our preliminary objection,come  8th April, 2022.

Onyendu reiterated in unmistaken and unequivocal terms, his unflinching confidence and belief in the ability of his erudite legal team, ably led by Chief Ozekhome, SAN, to achieve the best results for him. He emphasized that he personally briefed Chief Ozekhome through my humble self as soon as he was renditioned to Nigeria from Kenya on 29th June, 2021, having watched and closely monitored his legal exploits over the years.

Onyendu was gratified and exceedingly overwhelmed by this unique visit as his concerns were all comprehensively addressed by the erudite Silk. His belief, confidence and trust in me was equally re-emphasized today, without mincing words. 

Onyendu expressed his profound gratitude to the visiting team for our sound and penetratring legal representation. He was profoundly especially grateful to Chief Mike Ozekhome, SAN, for his extraordinary performance and feats in this case thus far.

Onyendu appreciates his teaming followers and all Ezigbo UmuChineke for still resoundingly holding the forte in his absence. He commended all those who have remained steadfast despite all antics of the enemies - within and without. Onyendu encourages Ezigbo UmuChineke to maintain peaceful conduct and remain loyal to his structures, as they have always done.

In his closing remark, Onyendu specifically warned infiltrators and detractors to look elsewhere for their evil enterprise, but certainly not in his God- ordained peaceful movement.

Onyendu recognises the fact that your prayers are heavily impacting positively, and urged you all not  to relent. Always pray without ceasing as victory is with us already.

Thank you all Ezigbo UmuChineke and remain hugely blessed.

Sir Ifeanyi Ejiofor, Esq.

Biafra: An Unanswered Question That Must Be Answered for the Interest of Peace

 Biafra: An Unanswered Question That Must Be Answered for the Interest of Peace

"There shall come a time when the news about Biafra shall be carried by the international medias". Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra stated this month before he was kidnapped in Kenya and extra ordinarily renditioned to Nigeria.

None seemed to take Kanu seriously when he made this statement. However, this have started to come to fruition as notable individuals from across the globe have began to call for the careful review of the Biafra case, and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's arrest.

Only a few days ago a popular international journalist, Leah Harding (@LeahHardingAJE) tweeted about the yearns for freedom from over hundred regions of the world. In the tweet, she gave special recognition to Biafra and Ambazonia, stating that the reason she is fascinated about the two is because of their unified voice.

This is a very interesting sound bite about drawing new boundaries for the sake of peace/progress. Do you think boundaries drawn by (mainly) western countries hundred of years ago in continents like Africa should all remain? #biafra #ambazoni https://t.co/MV9XqAorYc

— Leah Harding (@LeahHardingAJE) March 21, 2022

The tweet reads: "Did you know... There are hundreds of separatist movements globally, or regions that want to be their own country. I am particularly fascinated about those in #Biafra (Nigeria) and #Ambazonia (Cameroon) because of their unified voice. Should there be more countries in the world?"

@LeahHardingAJE also responded to another tweet from @AfricanJesu, questioning Nigerians on their view of the boundaries drawn by Britain over a century ago.

The tweet from @AfricanJesu reads: “Every #Nigerian should ask themselves. What is sacred about a boundary drawn by the British, over a century ago, with no input from a single African anywhere?”

To this, @LeahHardingAJE responded in a retweet which reads: "This is a very interesting sound bite about drawing new boundaries for the sake of peace/progress. Do you think boundaries drawn by (mainly) western countries hundreds of years ago in continents like Africa should all remain? #biafra #ambazonia"

The yearning for self-determination should not be treated with silence, especially as the rate at which the oppressing countries kill and destroy the lives and properties of the parts seeking self-determination is very alarming and should never be ignored. Self-determination is a right enshrined in the United Nation's charter.

The world and her governing bodies should take peace and progress as priorities and resolve the issues of Biafra and Ambazonia once and for all, for the betterment of Africa and the world at large. And this is very important to avoid a repetition of the Ukrainian scenario.

ESN does not involve self in land dispute, family problem, business settlement others

 ESN does not involve self in land dispute, family problem, business settlement others  

Beside the long-time cry of marginalization and injustice against Biafra people by the Fulanized Nigeria government, the recent year’s prevalent same government's sponsored insecurity in the region has been another thing of serious concern.

It all started with the tricky influx of Fulani killers, disguised as Herdsmen, followed by series of military operations, since President Muhamadu Buhari took office. The "Operation Python Dance 1, 2, 3" exercises by the Nigeria military saw to the untimely death of hundreds of Biafran youths and fathers of many families.

These military Operation left the region in total unrest because, while the Fulani Herdsmen continued to rape and butcher our mothers and sisters, kill our fathers and sons who went to their farmlands, destroy farm crops and burnt down our villages, the Nigerian soldiers were in the Biafra towns killing, indiscriminately arresting and imprisoning innocent youths as well. And though very unfortunate that politicians of the Eastern region have been the Fulani instruments for perpetrating these mayhems on the innocent Biafran. It is worthy to note that the Indigenous People Of Biafra(IPOB), ably led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu have never taken any violent approach against them.

However, it was uncovered that the Fulani’s' agenda was to completely take over our bushes and forests with their armed herders, then invade our towns with their foot soldiers, leaving us nowhere to run for safety. This led to the formation and launching of Eastern Security Network(ESN) by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu on December, 2020. This was done after several calls on Eastern governors to provide protection for our dying people, but they gave a deaf ear.

ESN was formed and mandated to protect Biafraland from invading Fulani armed herders who already took over our land and settled there awaiting jihad announcement to invade our towns

ESN formation was made up of sophisticated die hard believers in the Biafra restoration efforts of IPOB. They are lovers of the motherland. ESN operatives have remained consistent and unwavering in carrying out this hallowed assignment handed to them without fail. That is why our farmers can now farm in their lands freely without the fear of any Fulani terror.

ESN have since inception, carefully avoided interfering in the political, family and land dispute settlements in the region. ESN have minded their duty posts and have not interfered in the politics of any Biafra localities or towns.

It is lately quite surprising, how some politically sponsored criminals have started to terrorize Biafrans, disguising as ESN and getting involved in disputes of all forms in the land including family dispute. And worst so is how Biafra land traditional rulers and communities chairmen were allowing these criminals go unpunished. Some of them are being quick to ignorantly begin to associate the crimes of these nefarious elements to the Noble ESN.

This is why it became so imperative to put up this article and remind the general public, and all Biafran what ESN represents. ESN is for safety and peace of Biafran people, and so will it remain. ESN does not involve themselves in any land dispute, family problem or business dispute.

The dragon flag of ESN has been lifted and will remain up until Biafra is restored. The earlier people accepts this, the better. No amount of blackmails can stop ESN from remaining strong and determined in carrying out their assignments, people should make quick to learn to separate the activities of criminals from that of ESN any time, any day. Do not hesitate to hold and punish any criminal you find guilty of any crime in your communities. Never allow yourself to be deceived into believing they are ESN.

The ESN commanded by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will never be a threat to Biafran people, but possess what it takes to give security to Biafra. So, the people must learn to "differentiate criminals from ESN" and stand strong to deliver judgement on any criminal that may want to impersonate ESN.

IPOB disassociate self from Simon Ekpa, warns to stop using ESN, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu for fraud and Crime

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Saturday, distanced itself from Simon Ekpa, a self-acclaimed disciple of Nnamdi Kanu.

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is a liberation mass movement in Nigeria. Its main aim is to restore an independent state of Biafra. IPOB has its presence in over 130 countries of the world. Its leader is Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

On Saturday the 26th of March 2022, IPOB released an official press statment saying Ekpa and his auto-pilot group were not members of the movement.

Emma Powerful, spokesman of IPOB, charged Ekpa to stop using the group and the Eastern Security Network, ESN, to defraud unsuspecting members of the public.

A statement by Powerful said Ekpa should distance himself from IPOB as he had failed to abide by the group’s ideals as led down by its leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

The statement reads: “We, the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the command and leadership of our great leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu wishes to disassociate our noble movement from the ignoble and criminal activities of Simon Ekpa and his autopilot group.

“IPOB has been existing long before Simon Ekpa and autopilot group came on board. Simon Ekpa and his group are neither part of IPOB worldwide family neither do they subscribe to our operational methodology and people should therefore stop associating them with the revered IPOB under the command of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

“Henceforth, they and the general public are put on notice to desist from using the name of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, ESN and IPOB to defraud the unsuspecting public or for any of their activities. Ekpa and his group should stop their attempt to ridicule and debase the institutions our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu sacrificed all to establish.

“We want to place it on record that Simon Ekpa is not, and has never been a member of IPOB. Since he does not want to abide by the ideals of IPOB, he should form his own group and pursue Biafra freedom the way he is convinced and stop attaching himself to the cherished name of IPOB.”

IPOB cautioned that Ekpa would soon be abandoned by those politicians sponsoring him to demonize ESN and Kanu.

“Simon Ekpa should know that the politicians sponsoring him and his group to demonise IPOB, ESN and Nnamdi Kanu will soon abandon him and his sinister activities.

“We want his family, friends and associates who know him to advise him to leave IPOB out of his activities. Simon Ekpa, auto-pilot and Umuada highways in America should stop their attempt to tarnish the hallowed name of IPOB and its security arm the ESN established by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to liberate our people from the bondage of Fulani terrorists nation called Nigeria.

“The purported Nollywood classroom unveiling of what was termed M.Branch was a folly taken too far which simply revealed the motive and the aganda of Simon Ekpa and his sponsors. The general public should stop associating IPOB with such Nollywood movies. We are confronted with very serious existential threat and can not for any reason turn this noble cause of freedom and liberty of the Indigenous people of Biafra into a circus. Please the public and the mainstream media should be properly guided.

“These self-aclaimed auto-pilots without aeroplanes should desist from creating the impression that thay are part of this noble family led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu because they are not.

“We are calling on European Union and the world to take note of anyone trying to use the name of IPOB to instigate crisis in our land.

“We want to clarify that M-Branch which these dissidents are claiming to be forming in a room somewhere, was commissioned by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu many years ago before launching ESN. IPOB’s M-Branch personnel do not have uniform. M -BRANCH is the IPOB international secret service . They are not in uniform Just as secret service people anywhere are not uniformed men. So, anybody claiming to be forming M-Branch with uniform is on his own.

“M-BRANCH is a secret service in the ESN STRUCTURE created by MNK. No one has seen them before. They have no uniform and very few people actually know about their operations. So, ask yourself why would anyone claim he has publicly launched an inteligence Unit in IPOB if such a person is not working sinisterly for a pay master in the pursuit of an evil agenda?

“People should be properly guided and not allow themselves to be scammed. A word is enough for the wise.”

The Biafra Story and The Dangers Of Pushing The Masses To Self Defense

 The Biafra Story and The Dangers Of Pushing The Masses To Self Defense

Humans, when pushed too hard to the wall have only one option, which is to turn and fight back. Some weeks ago, Russia invaded Ukraine, hoping to overrun Kyiv the Ukrainian capital in just two days, but met a stiff resistance. And both Russia and Ukraine have since recorded lots of damages, with the advancing Russian army toping the chart in terms of damages recorded. One of the grieviances told by the Russian President, Vladimir Putin is that the Northern Atlantic Treaty Organization(NATO) have continued an encroachment to the Russian border. This is what led to the invasion of Ukraine because they did not want Ukraine to join NATO.

This is clearly show of the will of a man pushed beyond limit, and the possible repercussions.

This same push is what the Nigerian Fulani Oligarchs have put on Biafrans for many decades now, and it is not seeming like what they ever wish to stop. This is why the Eastern Security Network(ESN) was formed by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra(IPOB). The IPOB leader inaugurate the ESN on the 12th of December, 2020 with a sole aim and mandate of curbing the excessive menaces of Fulani terrorist herdsmen, who have been killing Biafran farmers, raping, destroy farms, burning down Biafra village, etcetera. The duty posts of ESN operatives are in Biafra bushes and forests, where these devilish activities of the Fulani Herdsmen are always launched from.

However, in a RadioBiafra broadcast of Wednesday February 23rd 2020,  Mazi Chinasa Nworu, a member of the IPOB Directorate of States(DOS), who also doubles as the second in command of ESN, revealed that the Biafran defense military wing, ESN might be forced to leave the bushes for Biafra towns and villages and engage the Nigeria government sponsored armed men who are hell-bent and delighted in committing all forms of atrocious acts on Biafra soil.

It is worthy to note that it is the woeful failure of the South Eastern state governments in their services to humanity that ushered in the ESN idea. These eastern government's irresponsibly invited the murderous Nigeria soldiers, police and their sister forces into Biafra communities to kill, maim, rape and burn down houses. These Nigeria forces in return, have wiped out many families from existence, mostly in Orlu Local Government Area of Imo State, Ihiala Local Government Area of Anambra State, Ebonyi State and some other areas across the Biafran provinces. The reckless activities of the Nigeria security forces have left many children finding themselves in the orphanage homes as both their parents have been murdered. Many parents are now childless too as a result, with many others turned to single parents.

It is on record that Nigeria soldiers in company of the Nigeria police, Ebubeagu(a local vigilante) and unknown gunmen have killed many innocent Biafrans and rendered Biafra communities impotent. Many of our people have made the forests their temporaral abode pending when the genocidal tour on Biafraland by the Nigeria terrorists in uniforms will be brought to an end.

On this note, it is imperative that ESN might be forced out of the bushes across Biafraland into the towns to defend our defenseless communities and save our people from this daily massacres meted on us by the Nigeria government. This time, the slogan will be "enough is enough". Both the Nigeria soldiers, police, Ebubeagu, Department of State Service (DSS), government sponsored armed youth and others who do not want our people to live peacefully in our land will all face the music.

This is another call on the eastern government, because it is either the government protect us or we protect ourselves. Self defense is not a crime and only a tree hears of it being cut down and still stands.

Let the government be reminded of the danger of provoking the masses to a self defensive fight.

Criminal Complaint: How Nigeria government abducted UK citizen in Nairobi, tortured him and extraordinarily rendition him to Nigeria –Lawyer

20th March, 2022

Abubakar Malami, SAN

Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF)

Federal Ministry of Justice Headquarters

Shehu Shagari Way Central District

Maitama, Abuja FCT

RE: Mazi Nnamdi Kanu: Criminal Complaint of Torture and Request for Investigation and Prosecution

 

Dear Sir:

We are Solicitors to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu (hereafter: our Client), on whose behalf and Instruction we most respectfully bring this Complaint pursuant to Section 1 (a) and (b), Section 5, Section 6 of the Anti-Torture Act 2017; and Section 174 of the Constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999.

According to the information given to us by our Client, the details of this Complaint are as follows:

1, Our Client entered the Republic Kenya on his British passport on May 12, 2021 and was admitted as such at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, Nairobi. After his admission, he settled-in at a temporary location in Nairobi, Kenya.

2, On June 19, 2021, our Client drove himself to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, Nairobi, Kenya on a personal errand. As soon as he pulled to a stop at the parking lot and alighted from his vehicle, about twenty well-armed persons violently accosted and abducted him, handcuffed him, blindfolded him, bundled him into a vehicle and sped away.

3, His abductors took him to a secret private location (not a police station) somewhere in Nairobi, Kenya and chained him to the floor. He was neither shown a Warrant of arrest or extradition, nor told why he was abducted. The abductors did not tell him who they are but from their conversations, he surmised that they were working for the Government of Nigeria (GON) and its security agencies.

4, While chained to the floor, his abductors took turns beating and torturing him to the point that he fainted several times and was intermittently revived when they poured cold water on him

5, During the tortures and beatings, his abductors taunted him, verbally degraded him and called him a “separatist Igbo Jew”. They also told him he will be “expelled to Nigeria to face death”. He was chained to the floor for eight ( 8 days and was thus forced to relieve himself of urine and excrement where he was chained.

6, Throughout the duration of his secret captivity and torture, he was not allowed to bathe and was fed only on bland bread once a day and given non-sanitary water to drink; and except for the presence of his abductors, he was in solitary confinement the entire eight days. Section 3(2) of the Anti Torture Act states that “Secret detention places, solitary confinement, incommunicado or other similar forms ofdetention, where torture may be carried on are prohibited”.

7, The inhuman treatment, cruelty and degradation to which the abductors subjected our Client and the external and internal injuries he sustained therefrom coupled with his pre-existing poor health made him to live in dread, fear and terror that he was going to die in captivity and his body disappeared.

 

8, His anguished entreaties to his abductors to get him some medication for his hypertension, heart condition and physical injuries were inhumanely refused and his pleas to be taken before a Court or even an official police or other law enforcement facility or allowed a phone call were flatly refused.

9, Throughout the 8-day duration of the captivity and torture of our Client, his torturers were in constant telephone conversations with, and taking directives and instructions from the Nigerian High Commissioner to Kenya and other Nigerian officials. Section 2 of the Anti Torture Act makes a person complicit in torture when it is “inflicted by or at the instigation of or with the consent or acquiescence of a public official or other person acting in an official capacity”. Similarly, Section 8(2) provide that “A superior military, police or law enforcement officer or senior government official who issues an order to a lower ranking personnel to torture a victim for whatever purpose is equally liable as the principal”.

10, On the eight day, his abductors brought him out of the house, put him in a car, drove him straight to the tarmac of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, where they evaded Kenyan immigration and forcibly bundled him into a private jet that departed the airport before noon on June 27, 2021 and arrived Abuja, Nigeria in the early evening of same day.

11, Throughout the duration of the flight from Nairobi to Abuja, our Client’s wrists and ankles were manacled so tightly that he was in extreme physical and mental pain for the entire duration of the flight. He also had the muzzle of a gun pointed to, and roughly rubbing the nape of his neck throughout the duration of the flight.

12, On arrival in Nigeria, our Client was taken to and detained at the headquarters of the Nigerian Intelligence Agency (NIA) in Abuja. He spent the first night at the NIA detention facility, sleeping on the floor with very bright electric bulbs deliberately left on throughout the night, thus causing him extreme bodily heat, sleep deprivation and mental anguish.

13, Our Client states that, from 29th June 2021 to date, he has been subjected to solitary confinement, lasting for 23 hours each day at the Headquarters of the State Security Services in Abuja. Since then, our Client has repeatedly requested independent medical examination by a physician of his own choice but the requests were denied. Section 7 of the Anti Torture Act provides that “(1) A person arrested, detained or under custodial investigation shall have the right to be informed of his right to demand a physical and psychological examination by an independent and competent doctor of his own choice after interrogation, which shall be conducted outside the influence ofthe police or security forces.

(2) The medical report shall include in detail the history and the findings of the physical and psychological examination and shall be attached to the custodial investigation report; otherwise, such investigation report is deemed void”.

14, The Government of Kenya (GOK) has publicly denied complicity and involvement in the said abduction, disappearance, torture and extraordinary rendition of our Client and asserted in judicial proceedings that there was no extradition, expulsion or deportation proceedings against our Client anywhere in Kenya. In particular, GOK asserts that its official records indicate that our Client is still in Kenya. See Attachment 1.

15, Our Client has life-threatening serious health conditions, namely: heart disease and hypertension, which have been dangerously aggravated by the mental and physical torture he was subjected to.

16, It is our considered position that the totality of what happened to our Client as enunciated above unarguably met the definition of Torture under Section 2 of the Anti-Torture Act, 2017, which also states at Section 9(1) that “A person who contravenes section 2 of this Act commits an offence and is liable on conviction to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 25 years”.

17, It is our further position that regardless of the severity of the offense alleged against our Client, there is absolutely no justification for the egregious torture our Client endured. Section 3(1) of the Act provides that “No exceptional circumstances whatsoever, whether a state of war or a threat of war internal political instability or any other public emergency, may be invoked as a justification for torture”.

17, In view of the forgoing, we hereby make the following Prayers:

(a) That, consistent with the provisions of the Anti-Torture Act, 2017, the office of the Attorney-General take prompt measures to initiate the prosecution of all persons that were directly or indirectly culpable in the torture of our Client. For your ease of reference, Section 5 of the Anti Torture Act provides that: “(1) A person who has suffered or alleges that he has been subjected to torture shall have the right to complain to and to have his case promptly and impartially examined by a competent authority.

(2) The competent authority under subsection (1) shall take steps to ensure that the complainant is protected against all ill-treatment or intimidation as a consequence of his complaint or any given evidence”.

(b) That, said prosecutorial action be levied in line with Section 8 of the Anti Torture Act which provides that “(1) A person who actually participates in the infliction of torture or who is present during the commission of the act is liable as the principal.

(2) A superior military, police or law enforcement officer or senior government official who issues an order to a lower ranking personnel to torture a victim for whatever purpose is equally liable as the principal.

(3) An order from a superior officer or from a superior in the office or public authority shall not be invoked as a justification for torture.

(4) The immediate commanding officer of the unit concerned of the security or law enforcement agencies is held liable as an accessory to the crime for any act or omission or negligence on his part that may have led to the commission of torture by his subordinates”.

In conclusion, we call your attention to the provisions of Section 1 of the Anti Torture Act, which states that “The Government shall—

(a) ensure that the rights of all persons, including suspects, detainees and prisoners are respected at all times and that no person placed under investigation or held in custody of any person in authority shall be subjected to physical harm, force, violence, threat or intimidation or any act that impairs his free will: and

(b) fully adhere to the principles and standards on the absolute condemnation and prohibition of torture set by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and various international instruments to which Nigeria is a State party”.

While thanking you for the expeditious prosecution of this Complaint, please be assured of our highest esteems for your person and good offices.

Sincerely:

ADULBERT LEGAL SERVICES

The United Kingdom's Bitter Pill To Biafrans, Too Hard for Ukrainians to Accept From Russia

 The United Kingdom's Bitter Pill To Biafrans, Too Hard for Ukrainians to Accept From Russia

The invasion of Ukraine by Russia has provided an opportunity for debating the invasion of Biafra by the Nigeria state, which has lasted since 1967 till date. This is especially as the same actors are involved and invested in both crises. The United Kingdom(UK) and her allies, including the United States are against Russia, but shockingly "supportive of", or at least "silent at" Nigeria for invading Biafra.

From February 24, Russian cruise and hypersonic missiles have destroyed many civilian targets, leaving behind many deaths. The initial window of opportunity for preventing the war was squandered by special interest groups profiteering from conflicts resident in Pentagon, Brussels and Moscow. While there is no way of determining when the war will end, several attempts at negotiating a settlement have produced disagreements from Russia and Ukraine. The most flabbergasting thing is the condition put forward by Russia for ending the war.

Initially, Russia demanded that Ukraine accept Crimea, a part they seized under lethargic Obama administration as a part of Russia, confer statehood on Donetsk and Lohansk(collectively called Donbas region or industrial area), the parts they proclaimed independent under grovelling Biden administration. Finally, to change their constitution to emphasize “neutrality” in both joining the North Atlantic Treaty Organization(NATO) and in the possession of nuclear weapons and, I dare say biolab research facilities. Although in recent days, the demand has been modified to “neutrality” in the fashion of Sweden, a non-NATO European Union member. That is, in addition to every other demand being constant. These demands have been totally rejected by Ukraine as a nonstarter. Ukrainian leaders think it will obviously be a new precedent and unbelievable one at such, to allow Russia what she demands, just because they are more powerful. They think it is a dangerous precedent with unfathomable consequences.

The whole scenario does seem like the word "precedent" is overrated, or perhaps even mocked, considering that the United Kingdom forced this bitter pill down the throat of Biafrans for over five decades now, through their proxy – the Fulani. Now, Biafrans can argue with justification that United Kingdom set that precedent when they shamefully used Russia and Egypt to invade Biafra. However, that would be diversionary and distracting. We would rather focus on the demands United Kingdom imposed willy-nilly.

It is interesting to note that Eastern Nigeria (Biafra) economy was a world class economy under Michael Okpara, the premier. But United Kingdom created a humanitarian disaster by imposing land, sea and air blockade. UK intensified shelling and bombing of markets, schools, hospitals and refugee settlements. To shorten a long story, as soon as the war ended with the death of over 3.5 million Biafrans, the real economic, social and political strangulation began through deliberate anti Biafran people policies.

It has now been over 50 years since the after war ‘no victor, no vanquished’ declaration, yet Biafrans have still continued to face the war of poor infrastructure and absence of industry to engage the teeming graduates. This has led to mass migration of Biafra youths to Europe and other world destinations. Most times leading to desert deaths. It is heartbreaking that a region with most traveling record, has no functional seaports or international airports. By the time the ship passes Igweocha (Portharcourt) and docks in Lagos, it will take twice the amount from China to move it down to Biafraland. No embassy or consulate. University admission scores are outrageously high for Biafrans who must show gratitude, even as they are made to work under an underperforming and quota system senior colleagues. The imposition of Fulani commissioners of police on the entire Biafraland has led to avoidable gross violation of human rights and a plethora of deaths – both young and old. United Kingdom refused to allow Biafrans integrate into Nigeria, and at same time rejected their desire to be Biafrans. Therefore, no Biafran can be president of Nigeria or be allowed to control their oil and gas.

Time and space will not allow a proper articulation of all the bitter pill demands forced on Biafrans by the United Kingdom. A pill of similitude to what Russia has offered Ukraine, which Ukraine is resisting vehemently at a heavy cost, same cost Biafrans have continued to endure.

The question now is: since sovereignty or self-determination is not a crime, why did United Kingdom invade Biafra by force and why did the world community not take action? Perhaps, since Russia refers to the West as an empire of lies, now is the time to ask them whether they helped United Kingdom invade Biafra because they were deceived or because they believe that Africa should be at the bottom of the ladder? If it is the former, they should tender an apology to Biafra. But should it be the latter, then we should thank them for being honest.

To be honest is to admit that the Russia-Ukraine war is a tug-of-war between United States and Russia. To be honest is to admit that no one has consoled Biafrans or has justice being done to them.

Biafra demands justice, justice for all!

ESN Fund: Understanding The Truth Behind Umueri Account

 ESN Fund: Understanding The Truth Behind Umueri Account

 

Recently, so many people have been confused. And in their confusion, they have gone astray. I have read countless articles coming from those supporting the infiltrators. They are saying that the leadership of the Indigenous People Of Biafra(IPOB) betrayed Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. They also talk about Umueri Account and ask why the IPOB Directorate Of States(DOS) abandoned the account. They argue that Umueri account was an account approved by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu for the funding of Eastern Security Network(ESN).

Arguing that the Umueri account was approved by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is correct.

But it is needful too to respect the fact that the leadership of IPOB told IPOB members, Biafrans and supporters of Biafra that Onyendu, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has ordered DOS to discontinue the use of the Umueri account. This is because the account was hijacked by some dubious individuals that do not mean well for the Biafra restoration struggle, and this happened almost immediately after Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was kidnapped in Kenya and extraordinary rendition to Nigeria.

The DOS went further to clarify that a new account would be created in that respect.

After this announcement, some people started questioning the order. A lot of people became selective of what order to take. This led people to start branding any order that goes against some people they love, as betrayal. They will accept a message from DOS today and disagree tomorrow. They will in the same vain accept reports from the Lawyers this minute and reject another the next minute.

Umueri account was indeed an account set up for ESN funding, but immediately Onyendu, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was kidnapped, the persons in charge of the account in the United States of America(USA) started disobeying orders and kept ESN money for themselves, instead of releasing it. This was relayed back and an order came from the highest command (Mazi Nnamdi Kanu), instructing the use of the account to stop.

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu then authorized that another account be opened in that regard.

Those in charge of Umueri account were one Madam Oyibo and her very right hand woman named Nelly Offoegbu. I still wonder how some people want IPOB to still be paying in money into an account being managed by two women who has been busy accusing IPOB leadership right, left and center without a single evidence. At first, they claimed they have evidence.

Rather, when people demand that they provide this evidence they have, they turned around to say it is Elohim that revealed all these things to them. A question to you, reader of this article, is this: If you headed an organisation, would you pay money into an account you are not in charge of?

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was abducted and these two women went rogue, and you are still asking why Umueri account is not in use. Even one of these two women is now fronting Idu and calling Biafra a slave name, yet you want us to submit our money into an account such a person is in charge of. Something is definitely wrong with anyone thinking that way. 

Why are the gone astray Umuada(another set of rebellious women in America) now questioning the people behind the Umueri account? Why are they asking to know how money is coming in and going out of Umueri account?

Recall that these so called Umuada continued using the same account to organise fundraisings, even after the DOS disbanded it.

They did it because they believed in the fake accusations levelled against DOS by Nelly Offoegbu. They thought they are rescuing the struggle by going against what DOS said. Today, most of them are saying that the aim of this duo was to cripple IPOB financially.

Also recall that they attacked the very IPOB finance. The game was to accuse the finance team of corruption, create doubt on the mind of the people and then discourage people from donating to IPOB. Countlessly, their supporters bragged how IPOB leadership is no more getting money. They looked at an organization that have lasted over 12 years with presence in over 120 countries globally and thought they can kill her just like that. How foolish!

Nelly Offoegbu and Madam Oyibo are no more members of IPOB. Both of them are the people in charge of Umueri account and yet you want IPOB leadership to keep using the account. Please, what exactly is your brain made of?

Till this very day the infiltrators are claiming to be in charge of ESN. They are still organizing ESN fundraising. These Infiltrators do not know the channel through which ESN gets funded, yet they still fool you with ESN fundraising. The only thing you are holding firmly is that Umueri account was put in place by Onyendu, and I ask you this question: Did Onyendu say Nelly Offoegbu and Madam Oyibo should use IPOB money anyhow they want? Do you know the amount that was in that account before these women hijacked it? Do you know how much they have used the name of IPOB and ESN to garner? What did these two women use the money for?

They tell you they are taking care of ESN and you have failed to ask them which ESN. The one they are in charge of or what? How can DOS be in charge of ESN, command ESN and you believe that it is expelled IPOB members that will be taking care of same? What actually is wrong with the way you reason? 

IPOB is not bankrupt and can never be bankrupt. For your information, IPOB did not start raising funds today. IPOB have been raising funds and cannot be crippled just because few infiltrators and their supporters stopped contributing into IPOB purse. You don't have what it takes to stop IPOB. All of you that followed the infiltrators will all regret your actions. IPOB will stop all your vicious attempts to sabotage her. Most of you at the appointed time will answer for the crimes you all committed against IPOB, using the name of IPOB. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will come out and disgrace you all.

Remember that you must not believe this, but all of you will see it happen. Repent now or perish with the infiltrators.

We have Thousands of able Biafrans willing to join ESN, There is No Need to conscript children into ESN - IPOB

 We have Thousands of able Biafrans willing to join ESN, There is No Need to conscript children into ESN - IPOB

The attention of the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the command and leadership of our great leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU has been drawn to the fabricated, laughable, and misleading trending video to implicate IPOB and Eastern Security Network, ESN operatives.

Those behind the fake video want to sell false propaganda  that ESN is indulging in child abuse by using children to facilitate their job. 

We, therefore, wish to debunk the falsehood as what is it a poor propaganda job meant specifically to tanish the image and reputation of the ESN. Come to think of it, Biafran youths are fallen over themselves to be part of this elite defence outfit how then is it possible that ESN will leave able bodied youths ready and willing to be part of it and settle for a child? ESN does not, has never and will never use children for whatever reason. Right from inception, ESN has never violated this rule. We have no intension at any time to use children for any reason because we will never have any need for it. As a matter of fact, IPOB's draft Constitution makes it a crime for parents to neglect to enrol their children/wards into school, uses them for child labour such as hawking or subjects them to any form of abuse. ESN can therefore never act contrary to this IPOB's fundamental guiding principle.

We are not surprised that those desperados who are bent on blackmailing IPOB and ESN at all cost have degenerated into all manner of ridiculous things thinking that they can discredit IPOB leadership in their plan to destroy ESN. 

We don't conscript children into ESN because we know that it's against international law, and we can't go against the international law.

The Nigeria Government and its DSS are desperate to implicate IPOB and ESN that was why they kitted a child to claim he is part of ESN operatives. 

We are drawing the attention of the United Nations, America and western world to understand that Nigeria Government has made it their number priority to attempt to destroy IPOB and ESN because we are a torn in their flesh. The International community should disregard this Nigerian government  propaganda and hold those behind the wicked blackmail responsible.

Politicians working at the behest of Nigerian security apparatus are behind the fake recruitment of a child and kitting him like ESN operatives just to blackmail IPOB and ESN. Nigeria government and her security agencies are committing genocide in Biafra land since the inauguration of ESN and they are desperate in their avowed desire to blackmail IPOB.

COMRADE EMMA POWERFUL MEDIA AND PUBLICITY SECRETARY FOR IPOB.

Disregard Rumour: “There is no other leader we have except Mazi Nnamdi Kanu” --- IPOB

 Disregard Rumour: “There is no other leader we have except Mazi Nnamdi Kanu” --- IPOB

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Thursday, rubbished claims that its leader Nnamdi Kanu has been removed as the Director of the movement in the United Kingdom.

IPOB’s spokesman, Emma Powerful, maintained that Kanu is still the leader of IPOB movement.

In a chat with DAILY POST, Powerful described those behind the claim of removal as gossip mongers with no knowledge of IPOB’s hierarchy.

A report had claimed that Kanu was removed as the Director of IPOB and replaced with Sofia Chinyere Kalu.

Mrs Kalu is said to be the group’s Financial Secretary in the UK.

According to Ezeji Chukwuma, an activist who reside in London, "Kalu is the new Director of IPOB worldwide".

This claim was re-echoed by Simon Ekpa, a self-styled agitator who claimed Nnamdi Kanu disciple.

However, Powerful stressed that those behind the gossip would never know how IPOB’s operational strategy works.

Powerful said: “They replaced him with who, don’t mind these gossipers who don’t know what is happening in IPOB hierarchy. IPOB is a decent and disciplined movement, and they will never in their life know how operational strategy works.

“There is no other leader we have except Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, and no other person fits that position. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu remains our leader in IPOB no matter any condition, anybody who claimed to be the new leader of IPOB should come out openly and do the work of a leader in IPOB; we are waiting for them.”

Nnamdi Kanu's Case: Binta Nyako And DSS Collude To Create A Campaign Of Cognitive Warfare And Misinformation

 Nnamdi Kanu's Case: Binta Nyako And DSS Collude To Create A Campaign Of Cognitive Warfare And Misinformation

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu

The Department of State Services(DSS) is notorious for flagrantly disobeying court orders, while Justice Binta Nyako is infamous for aiding and abetting such notorious acts. Her history of encouraging court abuse has been obvious from 2015 when Mazi Kanu was first unlawfully arrested. Court of competent juridction order for an immediate release of Kanu, an accused in her court adjudicated case was met with snub, and she did nothing until a political settlement was reached. The question now is, how deep is Justice Binta Nyako’s conflict of interest aside her being a Fulani?

It is not only unfortunate, but also unacceptable that a Judge of a supposed independent arm of government – the judiciary – is busy trumpeting the talking points of the prosecuting counsel and/or by extension, the agency of government, responsible for executing the law – the DSS! These things are not made up. They happened in real time, in court.

Think about this for a second. It is the demand of justice that every accused be accorded a fair hearing. Meaning that the accused is innocent, and the onus is on the accuser to prove them guilty. But, has Binta Nyako not given order for Nnamdi Kanu to be allowed a change of cloth and it was disobeyed? Then she turned around to insult Nnamdi Kanu(the accused) by telling him ‘you cannot wear any type of cloth.’ She knows she cannot enforce her order because she is a rubber stamp or an accessory to abuse of court. Either way, she needs to recuse herself from the case. Nnamdi Kanu was in her court from 2015/2017. He wore clothes draped in Biafran colors. The poser for Binta Nyako is: What changed between 2015 and 2022 aside the fact he was abducted from Kenya?

It is not even that Nnamdi Kanu insisted on wearing clothes made of Biafra colours. No! His humble demand is that he be allowed to wear the clothe of his people – the Igbo people! Binta Nyako knows that it is a cultural misinformation and cognitive warfare to claim that ‘Isi Agu’(the Igbo people's cloth) is intimidating. She knows what she is doing and she is simply engaging actively on it. And it is originally a perpetuation of the United Kingdom’s instigated lies that the Igbo people are domineering or dominating. This is false. Yet, Binta Nyako, the Judge of a competent court is wilfully playing this card to blackmail the Igbos emotionally, and then demoralize them.

And as is the case always with United Kingdom’s imperialism, all they needed is a rogue participant from among the people. Therefore, it is not hidden that Igbo politicians are all in on this offensive against the belief of their people, except a few. Notable among them is the person who was disrespectful enough to desecrate ‘Isi Agu’ cloth by wearing a special order made with the Nigerian coat of arms to a yam festival in Germany – Ike Ekweremadu!

There are three things that have happened, in the ongoing charade called "case of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu".

These three things are humiliating to Nigerian government. These have made the DSS to reboot, reset and default to the infamous abduction primitive era and primordial misinformation behavior. One is the arrival of Mike Ozekhome. Two is the courageous verdict of Umuahia high court. Three is the death of the Kenyan ambassador.

Well, the amateurs at the prosecuting team and the lawless DSS thought they have a case. As Ozekhome made a brave rebuttal of a ‘dead on arrival' case against his client, they buckled. The Umuahia verdict put Nigerian government in limbo. They must be scratching heads about how to deal with the courageous judge who did not care a hoot about the Nigerian government dictatorship. The death of the Kenyan ambassador, Wilfred Machage, if it is determined unnatural, rests squarely on the shoulders of both Nigeria and Kenya governments. Either way, whether Nigeria is trying to shut him up forever or otherwise, it is still an embarrassing and humiliating situation.

Since the DSS refused to allow a change of cloth, visitation from the family and legal team to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, how long before they also stop bringing him to court? Will it be April 8, 2022? How should Biafrans react in such abuse, intended to whip up emotions and responses and create negative narrative against the Indigenous People Of Biafra, IPOB, leadership? It is a general standard that external stimulus plus response brings about an outcome.

As Nnamdi Kanu was abducted, the first thing the DSS did was cash in on Biafrans emotions using infiltrators. So, instead of channeling our energy against the common enemy, we attacked each other. They would have succeeded but for the solid foundation of the structure.

This time around, we must put our emotions in check. We must avoid any post on social media that will spotlight the infiltrators.

We must fix our eyes on the ball and not get distracted by agent provocateurs. Our loyalty to command and control must be 120%, not even 100%. IPOB leadership has the master plan and blueprint of this struggle. We must never allow anyone sow a seed of doubt. Our's should be to always wait for the IPOB Directorate Of States(DOS)'s directives, because as the saying goes in local parlance, ‘na dem know road.’ We must not let Justice Binta Nyako and DSS have victory in their ‘cognitive warfare and misinformation'.

Ohafia Bloodbath: The World Needs To Speedily Intervene In Biafra-Nigeria Case

 Ohafia Bloodbath: The World Needs To Speedily Intervene In Biafra-Nigeria Case

There have been a great silence from the world, It has always been that way. The global elites and mainstream medias have rarely ever seen reasons to focus their attention and camera to Africa. Of recent, their focus is in Ukraine, where a despot has chosen human catastrophe and humanitarian crisis over diplomacy. But all is never well in Biafra, where a human carnage of immense proportion, greater than the evil going on in Ukraine, have taken place for decades.

Today is roughly three days after Nigerian government spoke of sending help and army to Ukraine, when back home, a bigger war is ragging, which they have not been able to control. And it is quite laughable and hypocritical that in a country where her leaders completely have no clue on how to contend a long lasted Islamic terrorism and extremism, statement of assistance is being issued to another country under a more technical siege.

It was bad enough that Russia aided Nigeria to kill Biafrans in a most gruesome way in 1967-1970, but worse is that the world is seemingly pretending that Russia is doing it for the first time, and focusing all attentions on Ukraine. Meanwhile, the Nigerian government, with the help of United Kingdom is inflicting maximum pain on the people of Biafra. The same United Kingdom is at the forefront of global alliance in total condemnation of savaging behaviour. And a question for United Kingdom is: Why accept the savage of Nigeria on Biafra, but rejects the savage of Russia on Ukraine? Are Biafrans subhumans?

The first night of the March 2022 was a sad night for the people of Amangwu community of Ohafia, Abia State, in the south east of Nigeria(Biafraland). A joint armed force, comprising of Nigerian military and Ebube Agu security operatives invaded and killed innocent civilians of the community, set numerous houses ablaze without provocation. According to report obtained by Family Writers Press International from the village, a minimum of five innocent youths were killed that night in cold blood, many others were abducted to unknown destination, houses and businesses were set ablaze while many narrowly escaped.

This sorts of Nigeria military activities have continued as a ritual in Biafra for over a decade now, and the world is keeping deaf ears.

It is being said that Russia, who is not a democrtic have no right meddling in the political affairs of any democratic country, or use it as a pretext to invade Ukraine. But no one also remembers to say that Ukraine as a democratic country owe the Luhansk and Donesk people what every democracy gives – referendum! 

That is the same way the rules of democracy are being disrespect in the case of Biafra and Nigeria. The Nigeria government have been allowed to continue visiting Biafrans with kidnaps, illegal arrests, torture, imprisonment, killings, etcetera. And the world keep pretending not to see it. And at most, say that Nigeria is a sovereign nation and in a democratic setting, you should not interfere in their affairs. But no one wants to think that the same democracy permits a referendum for Biafrans.

Resolving issues and maintaining world peace is easy. Unfortunately, the globalists that control the big pharmaceutical companies and the military industrial complex prefer war resolution instead of prevention. This is sad!

The Biafran people must be freed from the combined forces of Fulani controlled Nigeria government and United Kingdom’s bureaucrats. Otherwise, like the people of Ukraine, we will be left with no choice but to defend of our land. There is only so much an oppressed people can take – Biafrans have had enough!

Another impending humanitarian crisis needs to be averted. The time to act is now!
