Igbo leaders appear divided over the government
move against Radio Biafra Director,Nnamdi Kanu
Nnamdi’s lawyer,Mr. Egechukwu Obetta, told
Sunday Vanguard on the phone, last Wednesday,
that the DSS has not granted him access to his
client who is also the leader of the Indigenous
People of Biafra,IPOD, despite a court order
allowing him access to his lawyer and physician.

The magistrate court before which he was
arraigned had granted Kanu bail last Monday in
the sum of N2 million with a surety (civil servant)
of grade level 16 in like sum.

President General, apex Igbo socio-cultural
group,Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Gary Enwo-
Igariwey, when contacted on the phone,declined
comments on the self-determination movement,
saying, “I am at the airport on my way to South-
Africa. The issue is a very sensitive one. I do not
want to make casual statements on it. I will be
back next week”.

A former Secretary General of Ohanaeze
Ndigbo,Chief Nduka Eya, echoed the same
sentiment to Sunday Vanguard.

Eya said: “The young people who were born after
and during the civil war do not know the history
of Nigeria. The civil war between Nigeria and
Biafra ended in 1970. We are now a sovereign
state of Nigeria.

“But there is nothing wrong if a group agitates for
a state but you cannot do so by confrontation in
a sovereign state of Nigeria. It is treason. Biafra
ended with the civil war in 1970. The Federal
Government should detain and charge him
(Nnamdi) for treason. I am an Igbo man and a
Nigerian. You cannot be agitating for a state
within Nigeria adopting confrontation.

“When the leader of the Movement for the
Actualization of Sovereign State of
Biafra,MASSOB,Chief Ralph Uwazuruike’s mother
died,I was then the Secretary General of
Onahaeze and pleaded for his release from
detention to enable him bury his mother.
“I was among a private delegation, led by the late
Senator Uche Chukwumerije, to Uwazuruike. We
told Uwazuruike that `you cannot be talking of a
sovereign Biafra inside a sovereign Nigeria’.
Nnamdi should be charged for treason but his
undue detention without charge cannot be
supported.”

Another pan-Igbo group,Enugu Unity
Forum,EUF,frowned at any move to secede
without employing constitutional means, adding
that such confrontation will amount to treason.
President,EUF,Chief Tahil Ochil, said, “The law
should take its course. It is not a criminal case
and as such is bailable. He should not be
detained more than the law prescribes. The Biafra
struggle should not be confrontational. They
should follow the dictates of the law. They should
look at how Sudan broke up. As an Igbo man,I
will be part of struggle if it is done
constitutionally. But if it is done by force,I cannot
be part of it.

“The Nigerian government should look at why
agitations are rife from the North to South-west
and South-south/South-east. They should go
back to the National Conference report which
addressed these issues that trigger ethnic unrest.
Apart from Biafra,the Yoruba, through Odua
people, are calling for their our state. The Boko-
Haram issue in the North is a call by the
northerners for secession. The Federal
Government should implement the Confab report
which addressed the injustices plaguing the
nation.”
