The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) says Nnamdi Kanu has been sacked as its leader and also director of Radio Biafra.

Olisa Mbakwe, the IPOB Director of Strategy and Documentation, made the announcement on Monday.

According to Mbakwe, the Pro-Biafra activist was fired for placing more value on his dog than those murdered in the struggle for the realisation of Biafra.

Mbakwe also insisted that Kanu was a “traitor not worthy of any leadership position anywhere in the world”.

He said Kanu was removed for reasons which included, “personalisation of the Biafran struggle and derailing from the core objectives of IPOB as a grassroots movement”.
