The protest paralysed commercial activities in the
oil rich-city as the procession made its way
towards the Government House.
Kanu was arrested on Saturday at a hotel in
Lagos. He was scheduled to travel to London.
Kanu’s lawyer, Egechukwu Obetta says that kanu
has been granted bail.
But the founder of the Indigenous People of Biafra
is being held as he is yet to fulfil his bail term of
N2million and a surety in like sum, who must be
a civil servant on Grade level 16.
His arrest had provoked criticisms from his group
and the Movement for the Actualisation of Biafra,
MASSOB.
Obetta lamented the treatment given to his client
while in custody, saying that he was put in the
same cell with terrorists despite his life
threatening health challenges.
According to Obetta, Kanu, leader of the
Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is selective to
delicacies, adding that he (Kanu) vowed never to
eat any food served by the Federal Government of
Nigeria.

ASABA-PROTESTERS, Tuesday, stormed the entrance of Delta State Government House, Asaba condemning the arrest and detention of the Director of Radio Biafra, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu. Gathered under the aegis of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Delta State chapter, the protesters, mainly women, demanded the immediate release of Kanu, describing his arrest as uncalled for and totally unacceptable.

Photo: Nwankpa Chijioke Chanting songs of grievances and displaying placards which bore various inscriptions such as “Freedom for Biafra, free Nnamdi Kanu”, “We are not terrorists, we are freedom fighters”, “We are tired of intimidation and harassment by Nigeria Government”, “Biafra on the move” amongst others, the protesters said they were no longer comfortable with the Nigerian government. Speaking during the protest, Secretary of IPOB, Delta State chapter Nnenna Nwaoha, said: “The reason for the protest is for Nnamdi Kanu to be released; we have suffered enough in the hands of the Nigerian Government and we are no more comfortable with it. “We want our freedom that is why we are here. We are not comfortable with the Nigerian government, the intimidation, killing and all that; that is why we want our freedom. We feel very bad about his detention and it is affecting each and every one of us. We are not comfortable, we want to go. “The federal government should release our Director, Dr. Nnamdi Kanu and we also want our freedom. As a nation that is due for freedom, we want to go; we are tired; the suffering is too much; it is not a crime to want our freedom; we want to go.” Also speaking, Chineye Udeoba expressed bitterness at the detention of Kanu, saying “we are bitter and we are giving them a strict warning and order to release him. “We are not Nigerians, we are Biafrans. My father is seventy-two years old and he is older than Nigeria. He is a Biafrian, I am a Biafran and we all here are Biafrans. We the indigenous people of Biafra are ready to go. We want to be on our own. “The British came and amalgamated us with these Oduduwa and Arewa people, we are not one; we were never one, we are totally different in terms of tradition; we are Biafrans. We want to be on our own as indigenous people of Biafra. We want our freedom. On her part, Mrs. Judith Ihebiehi said: “This man is our voice, he is our mentor. We have been in darkness all these while, so this man has been speaking for us, so the Nigerian government has no right to detain him; he has done nothing. “Have they ever asked themselves if what this man has been saying is false? Have they bothered to verify what Nnamdi Kanu has been saying? So detaining Nnamdi Kanu will bring problems; we have been calming our husbands down, we have been saying ‘wait’ we women will go to the government, we will talk to them and say this is what we want; we don’t want problem that is why we are here. “Our reason of coming here is to tell the Governor Ifeanyi Okowa to help us take our message to the federal government. He is not the one detaining him but we are here to tell him to take it to Abuja.” The protesters were however, denied entry into the Government House by police officers

I bet you didn't know that Radio biafra and supporters wrote 3 open Letters addressing The 'Terrorist and Pedophile ' as 'HIS EXCELLENCY ' -


One of The Lawyers Representing Him in This Case is a Yoruba man with an Hausa mother.

The first Newspaper to report His case is Vanguard, a Yoruba Newspaper.

The first high profile individual to demand for his release is Fani Kayode, a yoruba man.

The First person to publicly deny him is his fellow biafran freedom fighter.

Throughout his detention, not ONE protest was ever carried out by his group.

And lastly, He would be arraigned next week and His bail might be withdrawn If is involved in any other illegal activities.

Uniben4sure:
So he knew all along that he wasn't fit to challenge the Deji in his own land yet he went on with his braggado?

It is now that he has been humiliated in the most degrading manner that he's realizing he should have swallowed the humble pie early enough.

My Igbo brothers can't stop' falling'my hands in other people's lands.

Chiwude:
Ijaws are like bees and honey. They become your friend when they need your help, but discard you as soon as you lose relevance. The Ijaws have no permanent friend and no permanent enemy. They always want to remain in the centre at every means possible. Any wonder why they were the greatest ally of the north from the sixties till now. Ijaw leaders like Edwin Clark and others are good example. Igbos on the other hand are loyal to a fault. Just show them a little affection and they are ready to champion your cause. The typical Igboman is a free thinker and independent minded. They hate no one but only those who hate them. Igbos since the exit of Zik, are yet to understand how politics of interest is played in Nigeria. Many are not even bordered about this. But will you blame them? Not for once.

dinachi:
Ijaw rotten puccy s1ave, is this your spirit? Cos I tot you have putrefied in your grave long time ago!

dinachi:
Another Igbo man who has willingly surrendered as an Ijaw s1ave! No single Igbo siezed property have been returned. The only thing they returned is foolishness. Igbos are now the gullible tribe.

You cannot cut off a pound of flesh from a living person without spilling blood; the origin of the issue being discussed has its roots in politics, hence you cannot completely isolate the political explanations. About referring to me as an Igbo-hater, you are free to express your opinions and convictions, it's a free world. However, for the benefit of any other who reads this, I am not an Igbo hater, I am rather a hater of certain attitudes and ideologies of a few which I am sure would only bring nothing but ridicule to my tribe.

QuotaSystem:
Obailala is an Igbo man, but a patriotic one who is not given to childish sentiments from what I have observed.

He does not subscribe to the 'playing victim' and 'igbo supremacy' school of thought, hence the misguided ones always question his identity.

It is not surprising though, Professor Osuji has researched and explained this defence mechanism by such individuals.

What the man gave up there was the truth which was obviously too hot for Vulu to handle.

naijapips02:
did you see any mention of biafra in my original post? I'm to matured to engage in kiddies fantasies bro.

This thread is all about Nigeria and her Great justice systems.

naijapips02:
What else did you expect? The Nigerian Government is law abiding and not dictatorial.

The law stipulates that you grant an accused a bail sentence within 72Hrs and that's what DSS just did.

But is the case over? Far from it. He would be have to appear in court and answer to his crimes.

If he ever leaves Nigeria, He would be jumping bail and would be rearrested.

Just like Boko Haram members before him, there's nothing really to celebrate.

This is purely a master stroke to deflect the attention of the media from his travails. The case has just begun.

OEPHIUS:
Nnamdi Kanu is the typical Nigerian criminal who is too senseless not to know what the authorities will do to him if they catch him or know enough not to play into their net.

What was he expecting? that he will be left alone or when he is arrested, people will march to the streets? This is Nigeria, people have more pressing needs than to die for you.

and for FFK, it is hard to imagine that he is actually a lawyer from a family of great lawyers. Nnamdi Kanu will be held for Treasonable Felony and i dont even see him making bail and guess what? the punishment is death.

Eliminate bokos rams tru sacrifice(Ebo/Etutu) ?Clowns

Er0ticAngela:
These Yoruba clowns are utterly confused. So you want to fight against a RPG wielding Boko militant with your charm and dane guns

Why dont these befuddled old men address the security challenges in the west? Kidnappers and armed robbers are running amok all over your region. Your waterways are now becoming unsafe due to the activties of Oil bunkers in the Ikorodu and Arepo creeks of Lagos and Ogun state respectively.

Mr folykaze, the NA/MNJTF will deal with BH in the fullnest of time. Tell your ifa whatever to go and sleep . I am sure they'l pee in their pant if they hear the gun shot of an AK47 Rifle, fired at close range, talk more of an Anti Aircraft Artillery

TonyeBarcanista:
I am a strong advocate of right to self determination. However, self-determination is not an excuse for inciting people against the State and others. It is not acceptable anywhere to call for violence. It is unfortunate but Nnamdi Kanu not only broke the law but has made himself by his action a stumbling block to the right to the Biafran struggle for believers of this struggle.

I will strongly advise that patriotic youths consider the noble option that is provided in the UN charter IF they insist on secession. Personally, I believe in equity and justice whether within the political and geographical Nigeria or otherwise. The way and manner Nnamdi Kanu carried his struggle is unacceptable in any sane society. Nigeria is not a zoo

Beremx:
At last!

Best news on NL this week. Kudos to DSS for arresting that agent of devil.

yommen:
Cowards in what sense? What was the military operation he refused to carry out? Or have you forgotten that so many soldiers were also shown the way out all to later discover that they were instructed to face bokoharam without weapons to fight. Is refusal to commit suicide your definition of coward?

By the way, members of the Kuti family including their family are known to be brave fighters. He was probably dismissed because he wouldn't be involved in fraudulent deals thereby prompting them to set him up You got no point

chowlade:
so r u people courageous? greatest soldiers in Nigerian history r dis same tribesmen. if he was Coward in d first place, he wouldn't have been enthrusted upon by d Military to fight Bokoharram.

ur brain is still Igbo
