KingMicky3286:
The United Kingdom has asked the Federal Government to clarify the status and whereabouts of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.

The British government said it had asked the government if the British national was alive or dead. However, it could not be immediately ascertained if the Federal Government had responded to the inquiries or not.

The Press Officer, UK high commission in Nigeria, Joe Abuku, stated that the inquiry followed reports that Kanu had been missing since September 14, 2017 when armed soldiers stormed his residence in Abia State.



Abuku said this in response to questions from Saturday PUNCH seeking to know UK’s concern on the missing IPOB leader.

“We are seeking urgent clarification from the Nigerian authorities about the status and whereabouts of Mr. Kanu, a British-Nigerian man, who has been reported missing since September 14,” Abuku stated in an email on Thursday.

Asked if the UK would strip Kanu of citizenship on account of the declaration by Nigeria that he was leading a terrorist organisation, the mission said it does not comment on individual cases.

“One of the conditions that can make the United Kingdom strip its citizen of nationality is if the person engages in a terrorist activity at home or abroad. And Kanu has dual citizenship and therefore a citizen of Nigeria and the UK,” the mission stated.

When asked if the UK supported the Nigerian government’s proscription of the IPOB, Abuku stated that the group was not a proscribed organisation under the British law.

“The Indigenous People of Biafra is not a proscribed organisation in the UK,” the mission spokesperson stressed.

However, when asked if the group was free to raise funds or hold rallies in Britain, Abuku said he would need to get an official response on that, but subsequently declined to respond to the question.

He also declined comment on whether the IPOB might be designated as a terrorist group or proscribed by the British authorities.

Abuku said, “We do not routinely comment on whether an organisation is or is not under consideration for proscription. A decision to proscribe an organisation must be based on a belief that it is concerned in terrorism as defined in the Terrorism Act 2000, and it must be proportionate.”

The United States had earlier said it did not consider IPOB a terrorist group and urged Nigerians to de-escalate tension and embrace peaceful resolution of grievances.

Spokesperson for the American Embassy in Nigeria, Russell Brooks, had said, “Within the context of unity, we encourage all Nigerians to support a de-escalation of tension and peaceful resolution of grievances. The Indigenous People of Biafra is not a terrorist organisation under US law.”



Igbo groups mobilise SANs to defend IPOB suspects

Meanwhile, a pro-Igbo Group, Igbo National Council, says it is reaching out to lawyers, including Senior Advocates of Nigeria from the South-East, to defend arrested members of the IPOB.

INC explained that the move was based on its members’ conviction that it was legally and morally wrong for the Federal Government to proscribe IPOB as a terrorist organisation.

The president of the group, Chilos Godsent, told Saturday PUNCH in Owerri, the Imo State capital that the pro-Biafra agitators had not violated any section of the constitution, and that INC would give the arrested IPOB members maximum support.

Godsent said, “The Igbo National Council at its last National Executive Council meeting held in Owerri on Friday, September 22, 2017, among other issues, resolved to reach out to progressive lawyers of Igbo extraction, including SANs, to discuss with them on the issue of volunteering to defend members of IPOB who were arrested during the Operation python Dance II in the South-East region.

“INC was dismayed that the Federal Government, through the Attorney General of the Federation, has concluded plans to charge the alleged IPOB members for terrorism. INC notes that IPOB is not a terrorist organisation and members of IPOB have not willfully violated any section of the 1999 Constitution that guarantee the rights to peaceful assembly and the rights to form and belong to any association.

“In view of the above, INC leadership and its contact committee have started reaching out to lawyers in that respect.”

The group said it was aware that the top members of IPOB were also reaching out to many other lawyers for the same purpose and that on its own, the lawyers it had met with so far had indicated interest in defending the IPOB members arrested in the course of the struggle.

Similarly, Concerned Igbo Unity Forum said that some of its members who are lawyers have volunteered to appear in court for the arrested IPOB members on pro bono basis.

The chairman of the forum, Sixtus Nwoke, said, “There are lawyers who have volunteered to take up the case considering the general view that they are not a terrorist organisation. Our stand is to ensure the unity of the Igbo among themselves in any state or country of residence.

“We equally ensure the safety of their lives and property during precarious times such as we are experiencing now.”

Military won’t declare Kanu wanted -DHQ

The Defence Headquarters on Friday in Abuja said that it had no business declaring the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, wanted.

At a briefing with journalists, the DHQ stated that Kanu was not in military custody and so they couldn’t be held accountable for him.

The Director, Defence Information, Maj. Gen. John Enenche, who made the statement, also claimed that the military did not raid Kanu’s residence.

He said, “Kanu is not in the custody of the military. It is not the responsibility of the DHQ to declare him wanted.

“If the court says that if he does not show up for hearing, it will hold the military responsible, (then) let us wait till that time.

“The military never raided Kanu’s house. I watched the whole operation live on that day. Even I don’t have any right to stop you while passing on a public route. I saw that the Biafran Security Service and the Biafran National Guards mounted roadblocks, and the soldiers came out peacefully and said, ‘Boys, let us pass’. But the Biafrans attempted to collect their guns. Nobody went to Kanu’s house or raided him or took him away.”

On the proscription of IPOB, the defence spokesperson said that the military was not involved in the process.

He said, “The statement of the DHQ on IPOB’s activities is not opposed to what the army chief came out to say. Did we say IPOB was proscribed? No. But some people had a mindset and were in a hurry to attack the military.

“The military did not proscribe IPOB; due process was followed before the proscription. What the military did was to diagnose the security elements and warn of consequences. The military also knows the law.”

Enenche said that the military deployment in states all over the country was to complement the efforts of other security agencies.

He said, “The armed forces of Nigeria are not alarmed by the fear which some expressed that troops are deployed all over the country. The military see and analyse differently, while people see and analyse differently.

“It is the military that can tell you the signs and symptoms of a security element. Other countries passed through what we are passing through before they got to their present developed state.

“For days before Operation Python Dance II started, there were fears, not caused by the military, but by the propaganda of some persons.”

Sunday I am waiting for your father's campaign to start.

Don't let me call Tunde Salam for you Chinonso.

ruggedized1:
Sunday if you believe it is my pics then let us roll. Anyday you shall open a similar thread like this again, me and you go share all our pictures there. Promote your candidate and leave Obiano alone.


[s][/s]

Chinonso, Obiano must be sent back to Texas.

ruggedized1:
Sunday you delivered who or you meant to say that I delivered you. I think you are just dumb. Tonight is your night. It's either you bring your useless father to contest or be ready to dance for us tonight.

Stop spitting because very soon pictures shall start flying.

Chinonso you know your pictures are in the public domain. Take ur time before you provoke me. I've tried to maintain my cool for old time sake.

globemoney:
sunnyb0b0 oya bring your best.. You peter obi's social media attack dogs will learn by force.. I will soon join you idiots on facebook where you plan your propaganda,

Guy, I'm too matured to engage in an online squabble with any nwa afo Omambala due to politics. If ruggedized1 were to be an Afonja, I'd send him to an orthopaedic intensive care unit with online punches tonight. Chino knows how I helped deliver him from the hands of eggheaders of blessed memory. He knows he's not my match if I were to engage him.

ruggedized1:
Leave Obiano and present your own candidate. If you don't have a candidate then present your father. If you want to remove something won't you have a replacement?

Sunday, this thread will soon turn to you-and me-thread. I hope you know how I troll.

Obiano is a fraud. He must go back to Atlanta and if possible take the man with the long red cap with him.

ruggedized1:
Sunday, I am not interested in whatever that you want. Go about your campaign by tell us what your candidate will do and stop bringing Obiano into it. Why are you having sleepless night over someone you don't want?

Start telling us what your candidate will do for us without haven to bring Obiano into it.

I hate to see you and I fallout but that's if you leave me with no option. Tread cautiously.

I don't have a candidate, my interest is to pull down Obiano and that's what I'm doing.

ruggedized1:
Sunday, why not support your candidate without bringing Obiano into it?

Why not tell us what your candidate will do if elected without running another candidate down with lies?

Sunday, I will turn this thread to a personal war front between you and I, if you can't open a thread and advance your candidate without drawing Obiano into it.

It might interest you that my interest in the forthcoming election is that Obiano doesn't return to Agu Awka and that's what I'm doing.

ruggedized1:
Sunday, you are beginning to act up on this forum. I respect you so much here but don't allow us to clash. Stop this nonsense.

Nonsense because I do not support the candidate you support? Smh

ruggedized1:
Sunny stop embarrassing yourself on this forum. Go to the village and package your father for the next election. Stop supporting outsiders. Support your father for once.

Chino, I believe respect is reciprocal, count your teeth with your tongue.

Sunny what will happen if your father contest? Is your father's age mates not governors?

My father is a former governor. Thank you

adadike281:
na wao! who then is a better candidate?

Anybody between Osita Chidoka and Obaze.

osita76:
Anambra under Obiano has really transformed

Still same Federal road. No stare roads?

Are you aware those bridges are already caving in prompting restrictions on vehicular movements?

No wonder the idiot ran to APC. it was to protect his stomach.

adadike281:
For d fact that Obiano is paying salaries and pensions , eziokwu, am voting him. And who is obaze and which party and how sure it is that he will do better than Obiano?

Ada mmadu, Anambra has gone more than the level of just paying salaries and pensions. Which state would owe salaries with the resources Obi left for Obiano?

Do you know that Obiano has increased our foreign debt from about $25M to more than $80M?

MaziOmenuko:
It doesn't concern meooh, but why am I seeing pictures of Federal Govt road here being used as campaign pix? I schooled at Unizik so I know those roads well-well.

Globemoney over to you.

FOR THE LOVE OF HUMANITY

Dear Radarians, the following pictures may be graphic but I ll appeal that you permit me to share them here because one of us made this happen.

For 15years , this man lived a miserable life and could not engage in any socio-economic activities due to a giant hernia he had. This made it impossible for him to feed himself and his family.

But alas, one man came and changed the man's story. BARR EMMANUEL ENOIDEM in partnership with the NIGERIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION (NMA), AKWA IBOM STATE BRANCH, carried out a surgical operation that would have cost this man at least N500,000 for FREE thus adding value and improving the quality of his life and by extension his family. This can only be love. God bless Barr Emmanuel Enoidem.

How did the Barrister Enoidem carry out the surgery?

Is he a surgeon?

globemoney:
This bridge alone is worth more than everything peter obi did in his locust 8 years government

Three bridges leading to his village, any other one?

globemoney:
Obiano is currently the best governor in Nigeria and best ever Anambra governor.. How will obaze win when he cannot even win his own LGA?

Why are you uploading Federal roads?

Are there no state roads he's done?

Amarabae:
If you really love Anambra,you will never vote for obiano!
Go to Nnewi and see how abandoned it is by the obiano administration,
look at the inferior few roads obiano built that do not last up to a year before spoiling,
Julius berger should be building Anambra roads!
peter Obi attracted Sabmiller,innoson etc to Anambra,
tell me a huge investor obiano attracted,
he must go!

He exported $5bn ugu.

Faremisodeeq:
see yourself

Do the tusks in the picture look like they weigh that much?

Unless it's not the ones in the picture.

Who doesn't know the Afonja winch will eventually leave.
