October 20, (THEWILL) – The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), has called on the Federal Government to produce detained leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu physically in court on Thursday.
Justice Binta Nyako of the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court, had fixed October 21, 2021, for continuation of hearing in the treasonable felony charges against Nnamdi Kanu, following the failure of the Department of State Service (DSS) to produce the secessionist leader before the court on July 26, 2021.
However, MASSOB in a statement issued on Tuesday night by Comrade Uchenna Madu, said Kanu’s absence physically in court will be proof of evidence that the IPOB leader had been killed in DSS detention.
The Group said it would engage positively in every steps, programs and activities that will affect the release of Kanu in the spirit of collaboration and for the sake of the Biafra struggle.
“We support other moves that draw Biafra closer to actualization. We shall continue to collaborate and partner with every positive move and steps that will affect the release of our other comrades in different Nigeria prisons mostly in Awka and Onitsha detention camp.
“The call for stay at home on Thursday, 21st October, 2021 which has been our recalling measure and steps for effective civil disobedience is totally voluntarily, this exercise has always been the life wire of the Biafran struggle which boomed the potency and acceptability of the Biafra struggle.
“The request for closure of markets, public/private motor parks, schools and other republic business premises are voluntarily, not by force, it is a mark of respect and love for our fatherland and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
“As a non violent organization, Biafrans shall not be compelled, pressurized or forced to observe the stay at home exercise”.
MASSOB revealed that itself, IPOB and other pro biafra groups will not molest, compel or intimidate anybody to observe the stay at home exercise as all her members shall stay indoors, further disclosing the ban on physical demonstration, street march, procession and other public functions in Biafra land.
The Group said, “the heavy presence of armed Nigeria Army, Mobile police, DSS operatives, Navy, Civil Defence in major cities of Biafra land since Monday are all signs of Military jittery, fear and cowardice, it is a mesmerization of President Buhari’s Soldiers.
“The security panic the presence of soldiers have created in Biafra land will assist immensely and positively on the people to comply with our demands. The Nigeria security agents are complimenting and justifying the Biafra struggle”.
