Nigeria: Should pro-Biafrans hold a referendum?

IBTimes UK has hosted a debate on whether the Biafran issue could be resolved peacefully with the cooperation of the Nigerian government. David Otto, CEO of UK-based global security provider TGS Intelligence Consultants, and Immanu-el Yahgozie, editor at Biafra 24, discussed their views on whether Biafrans could hold a referendum on the secession advocated by the pro-Biafrans.
Pro-Biafrans call for the independence of territories that constituted the Biafran Republic, established in 1967 and reannexed to Nigeria in 1970, following a civil war that claimed between one and three million lives.
Supporters of the Biafra cause hold regular marches − which they call evangelisations − across several states in southern Nigeria, mainly inhabited by the Igbo ethnic group. Protests have intensified in the past few days in Nigeria and other states since Radio Biafra director Nnamdi Kanu was arrested.
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".
Army spokesman Colonel Sani Usman told IBTimes UK: "The message to the Biafrans is clear: The army and police might use the Rules of Engagement (ROE) on security operations to the fullest depending on the circumstances."

Nnamdi Kanu is already an international icon.

There will always be somebody that is willing to stake everything for Justice, where people are mistreated. Nnamdi is no different.

Lalasticlala is there a problem with front paging this story? Haba!

chaseTE:
They have started talking already. UK daily mail just called him an activist which shows where their lining is.

It is a shame that our leaders are blinded by tribal hatred. All this feeds into the separatist agenda.

Buhari should release Nnamdi ASAP! Since arrest a handful protest have become sea spread protest. From village gathering to City wide protest that have migrated to Abuja.

Moving the case to a higher court will only increase the case profile and generate controversy. Soon the international community will take ide on the matter and start talking.

Nigeria probing Biafra activist for 'terrorism': lawyer
By AFP

PUBLISHED: 13:53, 23 November 2015 | UPDATED: 13:53, 23 November 2015


An activist campaigning for a separate state of Biafra in southeast Nigeria is being investigated for "terrorism and terrorism financing", his lawyer said on Monday.

Nnamdi Kanu, whose arrest last month has sparked a wave of protests, is already charged with criminal conspiracy and intimidation as well as membership of an illegal organisation.

Kanu is the director of Radio Biafra, which the government has accused of being "seditious" and of broadcasting "hate speech", and a founder of the banned Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) group.

He was brought to a magistrates court in the capital on Monday following a ruling last week when Nigeria's secret police, the Department of State Services (DSS), failed to produce him.

But proceedings were adjourned until December 1 after the prosecution asked for the case to be tried in a higher court.

Kanu's lawyer, Vincent Egechukwu, told reporters the DSS had secretly obtained an order at the Federal High Court on November 10 for his continued custody.

The order enables the DSS "to detain (Kanu) in its custody for a period of 90 days pending the conclusion of an ongoing investigation of terrorism and terrorism financing", he said.

Kanu has denied the original charges and was previously granted conditional bail but the DSS refused to release him, arguing the conditions for his release had not been met.

Kanu, who has emerged as the new figurehead for Biafran separatists, came to court dressed in a light-blue shirt with a white collar and sleeves rolled up to his elbows.

He was surrounded by dozens of armed security men but waved and smiled to well-wishers outside the court. Afterwards, he was whisked away in a security vehicle.

Pro-Biafran activists have renewed their claim for a separate state, arguing the southeast region has been neglected by a succession of federal governments since the end of the civil war.

The conflict from 1967 to 1970, which left some one million dead mainly from starvation and disease, was sparked when Biafran leaders unilaterally declared independence from Nigeria.

Fayose is just naturally a funny person.

If the truth be known, Buhari has no bone of democracy in him.

Nnamdi Kanu arrested
Nnamdi Kanu is the director of London-based radio station Radio Biafra and leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (Ipob)Facebook
Nigeria's State Security Service (DSS) has allegedly failed to produce Biafran leader Nnamadi Kanu in court for a hearing on 18 November, according to media outlets that support pro-Biafrans' ongoing calls for independence from Nigeria.

Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (Ipob) and director of London-based radio station Radio Biafra, was apprehended in Lagos in October and his arrest has prompted thousands of people to organise rallies in Nigeria and other states calling for his release.

The Nigerian government claims Kanu has been released on bail, however his lawyer Vincent Obetta confirmed to IBTimes UK that he was still being held by the DSS. The same allegations were made by members of a leading NGO in Abuja and an intelligence source, who both spoke to IBTimes UK on condition of anonymity as they had not been authorised to publicly comment on the issue.

A statement from Biafra 24, a live onlline radio station claimed: " Nigeria's DSS has failed to produce Nnamdi Kanu, who is supposed to appear in court [Abuja's Magistrates Court] today. No reason whatsoever was given."

Prosecution counsel Moses Idakwo informed the court that Kanu was not in court, according to the Cable an online newspaper, which added Kanu was standing trial after being charged with criminal conspiracy, intimidation and belonging to unlawful society. He pleaded not guilty to the charges.

The Cable also said that Obetta and Gabriel Egbule argued in court over who was authorised to represent Kanu. The Magistrate Court has ordered the DSS to produce Kanu before it on 23 November.

IBTimes UK has repeatedly tried to contact the DSS for a statement. A person who did not disclose his identity said he could not comment nor provide a number for the appropriate department to contact for a statement. The person then said "call this number tomorrow" and hung up. The DSS has continued to withold comments at the time of publishing.

What are pro-Biafrans' demands?

Pro-Biafrans are calling for the independence of territories that constituted the Biafran Republic, established in 1967 and re-annexed to Nigeria in 1970, following a civil war that claimed between one and three million lives. Supporters of the Biafra cause hold regular marches − which they call "evangelisations" − across several states in southern Nigeria, mainly inhabited by the Igbo ethnic group. Protests have intensified in the past few days in Nigeria and other states since Kanu was apprehended.

Pro-Biafrans accuse the police of violence. However, police have denied these claims, arguing that people advocating for Biafra hold violent protests disrupting peace.

Amnesty International said in an exclusive report by IBTimes UK that there was "credible evidence that pro-Biafran separatists in Nigeria are targeted by police". Meanwhile, 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".

Biafra's History

After the end of British rule in 1960, Nigeria consisted of territories that were not part of the nation before colonisation, resulting in escalating tensions among the communities.

People in the Eastern Region − a former federal division of Nigeria with capital Enugu − mainly from the Igbo tribe, wanted to secede due to ethnic, religious and economic inequalities with other tribes in Nigeria. The Eastern Region declared independence and proclaimed itself the Republic of Biafra following two coup d'etats in 1966 and 1967 led by late Colonel Odumegwu Ojukwu.

The fact that Nigeria's oil was located in the south of the country played a major role in the eruption of the war, during which medicine and food shortages in Biafra led to the deaths of millions of people.

Biafra has been commonly divided into four main "tribes" − the Igbos, the Ibibio-Efiks, the Ijaws and the Ogojas. The modern-day states that make up Biafra from the eastern region and midwest are: Anambra, Enugu, Imo, Delta, Bayelsa, Abia, Cross River, Akwa-Ibom, Rivers, Ebonyi, southern part of Ondo State, Igbanke in Edo State and southern part of Benue State.

Clearly our Judiciary arm of government have been compromised by the Buhari regime. This was not the case under GEJ. Buhari is still a dictator.

hmmm!

Never again should Nigeria accept a President that spend more time campaigning in UK than in Nigeria. That person is a liability, our economy is on the verge of collapse from no1 position in Africa under GEJ to collapse under Buhari. Not a coincident.

UK keep dropping hint on Biafra, my guess is they are behind it.
It is an insurance thing against Buhari t make sure he deliver on their agreement.

Tragedy struck penultimate Friday in Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital after a tipper driver, Azeez Ismaila, beat his wife, Odunayo, to death.

The incident occurred at the residence of the couple at Oke Ureje area along Polytechnic Road, Ado Ekiti.

The couple hails from Ado Ekiti.

It was learnt that Ismaila attempted to secretly bury the body of his 27-year-old wife in the night in an attempt to cover up his track.

The Nation gathered that the suspect who was said to be in his 30s was arrested by men of the Odo -Ado Police Division.



The deceased had three children for her husband and her last born is said to be six- month- old.

The suspect was alleged to have subjected his late wife to constant beating for giving him only female children

He was said have descended on the deceased a few hours after having his dinner.

Odunayo was said to have prepared pounded yam for her husband and rice for herself before the family went to bed.

She was said to have lost the money Ismaila gave to her to prepare food for the household after which she went back to collect another sum.

Neighbours of the couple, who were said to be used to hearing the screams of the deceased anytime her husband beats her up, said they heard her screamed few minutes to midnight.

Ismaila was said to have brought Odunayo’s corpse to his father’s house at Oke Bola area of Ado Ekiti where he allegedly dug a grave to bury her without the knowledge of her family.

Father of the deceased, Ojo Ajewole, who spoke with The Nation at his residence in Ado Ekiti said Ismaila’s attempt to secretly bury his wife shocked him and other members of the family.

He explained that his daughter was never sick adding that she reportedly foamed from her mouth while blood gushed out of her ears.

Ajewole said: “We insisted that her body should be taken to the mortuary, when we got wind that he wanted to secretly bury her corpse. He claimed that she took ill but I queried why I was never informed when she was laid up as they want me to believe. Nobody will believe his story because of the scars on my daughter’s body.

“We want justice and the Police must get to the root of this matter, there should be no cover up at all”.

The accused was charged to an Ado Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday for murder.

The presiding magistrate, Idowu Aiyenimo, however ordered the accused be remanded in prison custody pending legal advice from the office of the Directorate of Public Prosecutions.http://thenationonlineng.net/tragedy-as-ekiti-tipper-driver-allegedly-kills-wife/

BREAKING NEWS| How Buhari Smuggled Fugitive Omar Al-bashir Out Of India To Sudan by austentero: 11:44am
President of Sudan Omar al-Bashir who has been
declared a war criminal by the ICC for alleged
genocide and war crimes during the Darfur war
was smuggled from India to Sudan aboard the
Nigerian Presidential Jet.
It will be recalled that Omar al-Bashir attended the
India-Africa Summit held in New Delhi India. India
is not party to the Rome Statute that created the
ICC, which is an independent international court,
and New Delhi is not expected to oblige it by
arresting Omar al-Bashir.
After the summit, Omar al-Bashir was left with the
dilemma of returning to Sudan and like a good
brother, President Muhammadu Buhari offered to
take him to Sudan aboard the Nigerian
Presidential Jet.
As reported by Vanguard , President Muhammadu
Buhari made a “technical stop-over” in Sudan on
October 31 on his way from New Delhi. Our
source reliably informed us that the “technical
stop-over” was to drop the Fugitive President
Omar al-Bashir in Sudan.
Nigeria deposited its instrument of ratification to
the Rome Statute on 27 September 2001. The ICC
therefore has jurisdiction over Rome Statute
crimes committed on the territory of Nigeria or by
its nationals from 1 July 2002 onwards. As it
stands, Nigeria is party to the Rome Statute that
created the ICC.
The question now is : Why will President
Muhammadu Buhari smuggle an International
fugitive aboard the Nigerian presidential Jet
knowing fully well that his actions contravenes
the International Statutes that Nigeria is signatory
to.
