Biafra: Nnamdi Kanu’s Release a Boost to our Agitation

The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB,‎ has said the release of leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, will lead to the restoration of Biafra republic.

The IPOB leader was released on Friday from Kuje prison following the perfection of his bail conditions.

In a statement by its leader, Uchenna Madu, the group expressed gladness over the release of Kanu.

According to MASSOB, Kanu’s release was a triumph of light over darkness.

Madu said: “His release has opened a new dimension to Biafra struggle which must continue to be anchored on non violence, mutual understanding and unity of purpose.

“As Nnamdi Kanu regained freedom, MASSOB will continue with other progressive groups and individuals to press further for the release of other pro Biafra detainees across Nigeria prisons.

“MASSOB as the most prominent pro Biafra group that supports Mazi Nnamdi Kanu believe that there are credible Igbo senators and Jewish religious leaders who can stand for Nnamdi Kanu.

“Standing for Nnamdi Kanu means standing Ndigbo because we still have credible senators which has been shown on Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe who can never be intimidated or subjected to cowardice because of the conditions of the bail granted to Nnamdi Kanu.

“The bail conditions established against Mazi Nnamdi Kanu by the Federal government of Nigeria is a soft landing subtly given to themselves to ease their shame.

“MASSOB salutes and hails the oneness of unifying forces of Igbo senators led by Ike Ekweremadu and Enyinnaya Abaribe with the back up of Igbo Governors and other prominent Nigerians in their swift response in perfecting the bail conditions of our brother, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.”
