Nigeria's State Security Service (DSS) has allegedly failed to produce Biafran leader Nnamadi Kanu in court for a hearing on 18 November, according to media outlets that support pro-Biafrans' ongoing calls for independence from Nigeria.

Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (Ipob) and director of London-based radio station Radio Biafra, was apprehended in Lagos in October and his arrest has prompted thousands of people to organise rallies in Nigeria and other states calling for his release.

The Nigerian government claims Kanu has been released on bail, however his lawyer Vincent Obetta confirmed to IBTimes UK that he was still being held by the DSS. The same allegations were made by members of a leading NGO in Abuja and an intelligence source, who both spoke to IBTimes UK on condition of anonymity as they had not been authorised to publicly comment on the issue.

A statement from Biafra 24, a live onlline radio station claimed: " Nigeria's DSS has failed to produce Nnamdi Kanu, who is supposed to appear in court [Abuja's Magistrates Court] today. No reason whatsoever was given."

Prosecution counsel Moses Idakwo informed the court that Kanu was not in court, according to the Cable an online newspaper, which added Kanu was standing trial after being charged with criminal conspiracy, intimidation and belonging to unlawful society. He pleaded not guilty to the charges.

The Cable also said that Obetta and Gabriel Egbule argued in court over who was authorised to represent Kanu. The Magistrate Court has ordered the DSS to produce Kanu before it on 23 November.

IBTimes UK has repeatedly tried to contact the DSS for a statement. A person who did not disclose his identity said he could not comment nor provide a number for the appropriate department to contact for a statement. The person then said "call this number tomorrow" and hung up. The DSS has continued to withold comments at the time of publishing.

What are pro-Biafrans' demands?

Pro-Biafrans are calling for the independence of territories that constituted the Biafran Republic, established in 1967 and re-annexed to Nigeria in 1970, following a civil war that claimed between one and three million lives. Supporters of the Biafra cause hold regular marches − which they call "evangelisations" − across several states in southern Nigeria, mainly inhabited by the Igbo ethnic group. Protests have intensified in the past few days in Nigeria and other states since Kanu was apprehended.

Pro-Biafrans accuse the police of violence. However, police have denied these claims, arguing that people advocating for Biafra hold violent protests disrupting peace.

Amnesty International said in an exclusive report by IBTimes UK that there was "credible evidence that pro-Biafran separatists in Nigeria are targeted by police". Meanwhile, the Nigerian government told IBTimes UK that it does not consider the separatist movement a threat to the current leadership and defined pro-Biafrans as an "insignificant number of frustrated people who are not a threat to the existence of Nigeria".

Biafra's History

After the end of British rule in 1960, Nigeria consisted of territories that were not part of the nation before colonisation, resulting in escalating tensions among the communities.

People in the Eastern Region − a former federal division of Nigeria with capital Enugu − mainly from the Igbo tribe, wanted to secede due to ethnic, religious and economic inequalities with other tribes in Nigeria. The Eastern Region declared independence and proclaimed itself the Republic of Biafra following two coup d'etats in 1966 and 1967 led by late Colonel Odumegwu Ojukwu.

The fact that Nigeria's oil was located in the south of the country played a major role in the eruption of the war, during which medicine and food shortages in Biafra led to the deaths of millions of people.

Biafra has been commonly divided into four main "tribes" − the Igbos, the Ibibio-Efiks, the Ijaws and the Ogojas. The modern-day states that make up Biafra from the eastern region and midwest are: Anambra, Enugu, Imo, Delta, Bayelsa, Abia, Cross River, Akwa-Ibom, Rivers, Ebonyi, southern part of Ondo State, Igbanke in Edo State and southern part of Benue State.

Like the UK have taken their eyes off their Citizen for one second. Buhari is a daft.

Buhari and DSS boss might have killed kanu

Two Lawyers for Nnamdi Kanu means one is fake the other is real.


Family lawyer is real whilst the one provided by Buhari administration is fake.


It means the one giving press release of having spoken or seen Nnamdi Kanu is fake


It means they intended to fool everybody that Nnamdi is still alive whilst only the fake Barrister attend hearing.


At the end, they serve a life imprisonment and close file.


Nnamdi Kane have been Murdered by Buhari.

Warning! Warning!! Warning!!!

This is a serious warning from the Angry Biafrans across the world to the Nigeria Government with their SSS/DSS, British government, Hausa/Fulani and Yoruba oligarchy who is currently holding the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (NNAMDI KANU) against his wish since 14th of October 2015. He was arrested, and a competent court of justice in Nigeria granted him bail that his lawyer (Vincent Obete) confirmed that all needed process of his bailing terms are met and supplied to the court, but yet they still hold him in their custody for no legal reason.

This article is target to draw the attention of the International, Local and World MEDIA such as CNN, BBC, ALJAZEERA, YAHOO, AP, FOX NEWS and etc., World freedom fighters, International journalist, International and local Human Right activist, Amnesty International, International Court of Justice, African Union, United Nations, American/British Government and her citizens, Russia Federation, and other world powers, such as France, Germany, Japan, China, Israel and Netherlands.It’s recorded in Nigeria history that people have been held against their wish and later died under Nigeria government and subsequently where they came from was compensated by allowing another Person from the same Region to emerge as the President of Nigeria.

(1) A Yoruba speaking man of (Oduduwa Nation) MKO ABIOLA was the winner of 1993 presidential election in Nigeria; He was held against his Wish for asking for his mandate as the winner of that freest and fair electionin Nigeria, his victory was annulled by a Hausa /Man Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida,(MKO ABIOLA) later died in the Prison, and (Olusegun Obasanjo)was brought out of the Prison and made the President of the country through rigging of election which is the trademark of Nigeria democracy, as we all knew that Nigeria usually has‪#‎Selection‬, not‪#‎Election‬.

(2) Yaradua was a friend of (Obasanjo) who served in the same Prison with the same case charges against both of them, He died in the Prison and (Obasanjo) connived with the Hausa/Fulani to compensate the North over Yaradua’s death, His younger Brother (Umaru Musa Yaradua) benefited from the Government as compensation for the Hausa/Fulani (ARIWA) Region.

(3) A Biafran of (Ogoni Clan) KEN SARO WIWA was an environmentalist anda human right activist fighting for Ijaw Nation which they called (South/South) today. He was killed by a Hausa/Fulani man (Gen Sani Abacha), (Ebele GoodLuck) was handpicked by this cabals the Yoruba and Hausa/Fulani godfathers to run as the Vice President to (Yaradua) knowing the (Yaradua's ) state of health which later paved way to (Good Luck Jonathan) as the President of Nigeria upon the death of (Musa Yaradua).

it also served as a compensation for the Bantustan creation called South/South, During Yaraduas tenure as the President the (MEND), was giving amnesty, and this made the People of this region (MEND) dropped their arms totally to allow the Oil flow to the NORTH and SOUTH/WEST since they assumed their brother (GEJ) was the Vice and later became the President.

(4) Bola IGE was killed, and his killers suddenly turn to Ghost and the Yoruba's were silent about it,

(5) Dele Giwa was murdered through a letter bomb sent by IBB, and yet the Yorubas did nothing.

(6) SIMBIYATH Abiola dies mysteriously, and the Yorubas were docile, eventhe Nigeria Government knew about her death, and nothing happened.

(7) Kudirat Abiola was shot dead by a well-known military man Sargent Rojas and up till now nothing happened once again the Yorubas were watching.

( Fela was sent to prison for 27 times because he was speaking the gospel truth against the Nigeria looting and evil, he stood gallantly fighting/attacking the Nigeria Government, he was later injected and died yet Yoruba's did nothing instead they rumored and tagged (H.I.V) as the cause of his death .. my question today is this.. How many of Fela's wives and children is a carrier of that same (H.I.V) which they claim killed their father and husband.Where is justice in this God forsaking country?We the (Biafrans) want to bring to the notice of the concerned Government of the world, Media houses and people of goodwill that we the (Indigenous people of Biafra) worldwide cannot fold our arms and watch such thing happen to our LEADER (Mazi NNAMDI KANU) because we are never cowards, we are not and will never be interested in this fraudulent marriage called one Nigeria and her Presidency, We are Biafrans ever before the NIGERIA NATION and BRITAIN was created . Our map can be found in the 14th and 16th centuries map drawn by the early cartographers.We want to warn the Nigeria Government and the world that if anything happens to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu under the DSS detention, that the world will witness the 3rd world war starting from Nigeria; they should be ready to accommodate more refugees in their countries. They should not underrate the venom/anger of a bitter marginalized and subjugated great people from the land of the rising sun (Biafra). The people whose fathers invented (Bombs and Armored tanks) during the Biafra/Nigeria war, early 1967/1970;As History has it, don’t forget that the cause of the 1st world war was as a result of the killing of a Prince from Austria (Prince Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria)in 1914.

Here Nigeria is currently seating on a time bomb that will consume and affect the whole world if allowed to explode, if anything goes wrong with another Prince, (Prince Nnamdi Kanu) from Biafra land the son of HRH (EZE ISRAEL KANU) the King of Ama afara Ukwu Ibekuin Umuahia, he is still under the Nigeria Government captivity. The world should speak up now and save this world another world war 3rd that is looming in Nigeria. The world should allow the Biafrans to have their Freedom now. Nnamdi Kanu should be released immediately without any condition.

How can they fail to Produce him before the law court if they have no case against him, why don't let him go? Why still holding him as today's is a date meant to produce him before the law court in Abuja at the Magistrate Court, Wuse 11.Firstly the world should know that Biafrans are scattered all over the world in large numbers suffering and languishing in various prison of the world as they scavenge and struggle to survive. The world should allow the Biafrans to go so that we all should come back home and build our Nation; The world should also know that Biafrans of the 21st century has grown greater than their imagination. The dismal state of Nigeria military force should be aware that they were never ghost but normal human being like the Unarmed people of Biafra. They should know that no one has a monopoly of violence,and they have been killing us with guns and bullet because we only seek for our freedom.
They refer to us as chest beaters, online freedom fighters a stitch in time saves nine; Nnamdi Kanu should be released, and Biafra should be free to stand on her own as a nation. A word is enough for a wise.We are not a terrorist group; We are freedom fighters and our freedom cannot be compromised. As we’re law abiding citizens of Biafra before the fake marriage of 1914, a country created the same year which the first World War was fought.Buhari should free‪#‎NnamdiKANU‬and allow Biafrans to go. Their separate way Or ..............................?‪

#‎FREENNAMDIKANU‬‪#‎FREEBIAFRA‬

God Bless Biafra.

^^^See you getting all worked up at a people seeking self-determination! Biafra.... a means by which you can get rid of those people you despise so much, and have 'one Nigeria' all to yourselves is what you're getting riled up about!?

If you want to know part of the reason we want out from this criminal creation of Lord Lugard, then look no further than this post of yours i've just quoted!

The evil you wish Nnamdi Kanu would be deflected on to your entire immediate and extended family if there's a just God overseeing the affairs of man!

I wonder what they were talking about. Now we know. The only problem is Nigeria is not Sudan and Buhari is not Omar al bashir. We will give the UN access to operate and go up north to get him like Gaddafi and Saddam.
