IPOB Unveil Worldwide Campaign For Nnamdi Kanu Release And Biafra Agitation by truthera(op): 7:12pm On Jul 09
The directive was contained in an internal memo dated Monday, July 6, 2026, and signed by the group's spokesperson, Emma Powerful.

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has directed all its members, supporters, and coordinators worldwide to compulsorily participate in its weekly "Tweet Tuesday" campaign, describing the social media exercise as a strategic tool for the group's agitation for the restoration of Biafra and the release of its imprisoned leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

The directive was contained in an internal memo dated Monday, July 6, 2026, and signed by the group's spokesperson, Emma Powerful.

According to the memo, IPOB declared that participation in the campaign every Tuesday is no longer optional but mandatory for all members across the world.

IPOB claimed that the initiative was originally introduced by Kanu as a digital mobilisation strategy that allegedly became so effective that it contributed to the Nigerian government's decision to suspend Twitter's operations in the country in 2021.

The group alleged that the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari banned the platform because it enabled Kanu's account to remain active while Buhari's account faced sanctions.

IPOB further claimed that the previous Directorate of State leadership abandoned the campaign after Kanu's arrest and transfer to Nigeria, creating a vacuum that it claimed allowed "anti-Biafra elements" to dominate online conversations.

"The era of abandonment ends today," the IPOB spokesperson stated.

IPOB said the renewed campaign comes as Kanu's appeal at the Abuja Court of Appeal draws closer, insisting that social media mobilisation would be central to its advocacy efforts.

Under the new directive, IPOB instructed members to use every Tuesday to campaign for Kanu's "immediate and unconditional release," advocate for the restoration of the Sovereign State of Biafra, and challenge "false and malicious narratives" against IPOB, the Eastern Security Network (ESN), and the Biafra movement.

IPOB urged its supporters to publish coordinated messages, use relevant hashtags, tag influential social media accounts, and maintain what it described as disciplined messaging.

"This is not optional. It is a collective duty and a strategic weapon in our non-violent struggle," Powerful stated.

IPOB also called on members to intensify online advocacy ahead of Kanu's appeal proceedings, arguing that sustained international attention could increase pressure regarding his case.


Kanu is serving life imprisonment at Sokoto Maximum Prison following his conviction by Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja in November 2025 on terrorism-related charges filed by the Nigerian government.

The IPOB leader and his supporters have consistently denied the allegations, while IPOB maintains that his detention is unlawful and continues to demand his unconditional release.

The Nigerian government, however, insists that Kanu’s prosecution and imprisonment were in accordance with the law.

No mind them..

They are betrayals..

FG did not capture Kanu until a bounty was placed on him. Immediately the bounty was announced, I knew these people would sell him out. They gave FG all Kanu’s plan & traveling details. Dem even tell FG nah woman Kanu wan go meet for Kenya, gave FG his hotel room details and everything..

Who would have known those info, if not those that are his foot soldiers?

Lol. This sort of news shows how Nigeria is a lawless aberration and Nigerians themselves know it.

They are campaigning for Kanu's release in Nigeria after being convicted by a competent Court of law.

Why not do same for Ekpa serving a 5 year jail term in Finland for terrorism -related conviction same as Kanu?

We have not heard them say anything about Ekpa in Finland because they know there is no room for manoeuvring in a nation where things work optimally.

It is only lawless, ethno-religiously divided and aberrant Nigeria they can gaslight daily about Kanu's "innocence" to insist he must be set free as if evidence -based criminal conviction should just be set aside casually rather than respected by all and sundry.

Is it not hypocritical they are not lobbying Finland to release "innocent" Ekpa who is merely a minion of Kanu who is the head of the Snake?

Fact is that all Nigerians say the want a better nation but their actions show many are lawless, unscrupulous and comfortable with how things are.

How can anyone who respects the rule of law and the decision of a competent Court of law be campaigning for Kanu's release after his recent criminal conviction?

Why has not even a single one of them done same for Ekpa in Finland? I.e appeal he be freed ?

It is because they know that is a nation where things work as they should.
Re: IPOB Unveil Worldwide Campaign For Nnamdi Kanu Release And Biafra Agitation by truthera(op):
IPOB and Biafra Republic Government in Exile (BRGIE) are 2 different groups, while Kanu is the leader of IPOB, Simon Ekpa is the leader of BRGIE..... It is glaring that you are the hypocrite here because Nnamdi Kanu did not supervise any killing or own up to any killing but Simon Ekpa did and boasted about the killings done by his autopilot men through his social media posts. Even though Kanu use to urge IPOB members to defend themselves against security agencies killing them, Kanu on several occasions made it clear that he was not in support of violence against his own people., that's why he disassociated himself and IPOB from Simon Ekpa's BRGIE violent campaigns in the south east region....

Also, what does the law say about extraordinary rendition? You are free to continue to argue with your keyboard in defense of injustice and state sponsored lawlessness.....

Whatever. A competent Court of law convicted Kanu with solid evidence of his criminal conduct. Accept that and move on.

Let the lawless country deny him justice again in the upcoming appeal case and see what becomes of Nigeria..... Igbos are patiently monitoring the process, they will respond in defense of Nnamdi Kanu at the appropriate time.....Is lawless Nigeria prepared for the consequences?

Lol. Stop making empty threats. We must all abide by the rule of law of Nigeria.

What is the way forward if every ethnic group begin to reject criminal conviction of their kinsmen?

This lawlessness, demand of Northerners for amnesty for terrorist and you guys demanding Kanu be freed etc, is what is destroying Nigeria.

You are very correct.

Same feral IPOB clamouring for Kanu's release are the last one that want him out knowing that by now , Kanu would have put one and two together and figured out those behind his capture.

We all witnessed how they sacked Kanu's first descent lawyer , whom they accused of sleeping with Kanu's wife and will later appoint that incompetent team lead by that fat lawyer.

Kanu even recently dissolved the entire IPOB DoS from his prison cell and they responded by sacking him back and said he has turned state witness and was providing information to the Federal authorities on IPOB operations and individuals in the SE.

I never see such a thing in my life bro.

To even make matters worse, the DoS have refused to pay for Kanu's legal bills and are more interested in paying a crooked lobby group in the US to come balkanize Nigeria .

Back to Kanu's capture in Kenya and you might not know that Kanu sacked same DoS during a live broadcast before travelling to Israel and then Kenya were he was captured. Kanu had appointed Ekpa to manage the Radio Biafra station in his absence and when he was arrested in Kenya, there was a big power tussle between Ekpa and same DOS on who will control Radio Biafra and IPOB affairs.

The kind of backstabbing and betrayal going on in IPOB no be here and I do agree with you that same DOS parading themselves today whom Kanu has sacked twice and who sacked him as their director, are the ones who snitched on Kanu's travel details to the Nigerian authorities.

At the root of IPOB is a ruthless clique of money hungry scammers who will betray their own mothers for money.

Before Kanu's appeal will be heard by the Appellate court it will take at least another 4 to 5ys.

Criminal appeals are based on first come, first serve and no case is prioritised above another.

And since there are tonnes of appeal pending, it will take at least another 5ys before his case is called for review.


And just forget any talk of Presidential Pardon or clemency for the fact that any convict who has a pending appeal before the criminal justice system can not be considered by the Presidential Pardon and Clemency board until he or she has exhausted all legal struggles. See : Mariam Sanda as a prime example whose pardon was rescinded after it came to the notice of the President that she had a pending Supreme court ruling awaiting. It was only after the Supreme court had finally upheld her conviction that the President then commutted her sentence from death to a jail terms which will see her free in 2031

Empty chest beating as usual.
I thought you people said Nigeria will burn if Nnamdi Kanu is jailed. He has been in jail in the sweltering heat of a Sokoto correctional facility since last year and nothing has happened except sojourn to Sokoto for photo ops!!! grin

He will not only be denied his appeal but risks the Appeal court imposing the recommended sentence of death penalty that Justice Omotosho was magnimanous enough to reduce to a life sentence.
