Biafra: Fasting Commenses For Release Of IPOB Leader by iloriolushola(m): 8:07am On Feb 25, 2016
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), commenced a fasting and prayer programme on Wednesday, February 24.Members of the pro-Biafra group in Anambra state, embarked on spiritual warfare in its agitation for the releaseof their embattled leader and Directorof Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.Vanguard reports that the prayer and fasting session was held in different parts of the state.The prayer and fasting started at exactly 7am and ended at about 3pm insome locations of the state where members trooped outen masse without the usual display of IPOB flags and banners.According to the group, the exercise was aimed at getting God’s intervention for the release Kanu, actualization of Biafra, and the allegedintimidation, harassment, and killings of the members of the group by military operatives.In a statement issued after their prayer at a location in Ukpor in Nnewi south council area, the IPOB spokesman, Mr Emma Powerful called on the Bishops and priests of the Catholic, Anglican churches and Pentecostals pastors to be prayerful for the restoration of Biafra and for the release of Kanu.“Nigeria is dwindling to irredeemable situation under the All Progressives Congress, APC, government of President Muhammadu Buhari. “Biafra is the only answer to the problem Nigeria is facing now. The APC government is confused and the peoplewho led Nigeria into this mess, the APChenchmen, their so called national leaders who wanted change at all cost, are now all dumb. They have no answer to the problems they have created. Theonly answer now is Biafra.

“We are not joking about this spiritual declaration. We have been praying and fasting. No bloodshed of Biafrans will go unpunished. The APC members who are deeply religious should go and ask questions about the consequences of the atrocities they have committed with the killing of innocent youths who were praying at Aba, innocent youths who were peacefully agitating in Onitsha whom the military killed. “Whenwe were taking those they shot dead tohospitals, their blood was revolting against the APC government and the party which will never know peace until they leave IPOB and other Biafra agitating groups alone,”Emma Powerful said.He also urged the churches to pray ceaselessly because the people being killed are their members and children of God who were exercising their constitutional rights of peaceful protest and non violent agitation, adding that they should equally pray for Kanu who is facing “unjust trial”.Mr Powerful described Kanu as God sent from the United Kingdom, where he has everything going for him but decided to come to Nigeria and suffer and liberate the marginalized and humiliated sections of Nigerians that are asking for freedom.“We want Chukwuokike Abiama (God Almighty) to reveal the truth in the next court and to the world, for Mr. Kanu our innocent leader, to disgrace and blind the enemies of Biafra and those who want to use Biafra and Mr. Kanu to gain cheep popularity in their misguided government that is heading for the rocks”the spokesman said.The IPOB has said President MuhammaduBuhari is surrounded with bad advisers, which is why he has refused to release their leader. Mr Powerful said Buhari’s advisers were deceiving him, adding that those who are supposed to advise the president have all gone mute in a bid to see his government fail.
