In a statement published earlier in December, Oeas – which advocates for people's right to self-determination – warned that Nigeria could risk a "civil strife" if pro-Biafrans' demands were not met.

The organisation also said Nigeria should hold a referendum on the Biafra issue within 90 days, with independent observers supervising the polls.

UK MPs speak on Biafra

British MP Angela Reyner said in a statement on Twitter that she had contacted the UK Foreign and Commonwealth office expressing concern over "the situation in Biafra".



Reyner's call for investigations on the ongoing situation follows MPs Tom Elliott and Danny Kinahan's motion in which they acknowledged pro-Biafran calls for independence.

The motion read: "That this House acknowledges the Biafran issue could be improved with the co-operation of the Nigerian government by offering a referendum; and urges the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to use its diplomatic strength to assist in the resolution of this matter."

Last November, James Duddridge, Minister for Africa and the Caribbean, confirmed that British consular officials will meet Kanu – who holds British and Nigerian citizenships – after a question from Kanu's constituency MP, Harriet Harman.

Meanwhile, an exclusive report by IBTimes UK revealed that an Amsterdam-based group of lawyers will also file a complaint with the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari on alleged human rights abuses against pro-Biafrans. The lawyers announced they will file the complaint on 29 January.

Buhari's position

President Muhammadu Buhari's government has always maintained that Nigeria's unity is a priority for the country and that although peaceful pro-Biafran protests are welcome, demanding the breakaway of the Biafran territories is against the constitution.

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".http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/eu-biafra-self-determination-be-addressed-respecting-international-law-says-federica-mogherini-1538863
