The Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB , has said that its leader, Nnamdi Kanu is not in hiding neither is he considering going into exile.
IPOB was reacting to reports on social media that Kanu, who is currently on bail, has gone into hiding to avoid his re-arrest by the Federal Government on the grounds that he has violated his bail conditions.
The seperatist group, in a press release issued by its spokesman, Emma Powerful, dismissed the rumour as a “laughable fabrication designed to demystify our leader.
“This wicked lie and malicious fabrication is the work of the enemies of Biafra, who enjoy their perfect slave status and will remain servants to Arewa North all their lives.
“These shameless individuals have allowed themselves to be used to advance the mission of the caliphate in Biafraland which is total submission to Hausa Fulani Islamic hegemonic domination,” the statement read.
IPOB also insisted that Nnamdi Kanu was not ready to go on exile no matter the level of threats issued by the Federal Government, noting that IPOB remains the most vibrant and intelligent mass movement in the world.
“Our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has made it abundantly clear to all and sundry that he is not going on exile as a result of these childish threats.
“IPOB is till today the most vibrant, indomitable and intelligent mass movement in the world.
“IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu cannot be intimidated by anybody or group no matter how highly placed they think of themselves. Our mission is to restore Biafra and nothing under the sun can stop us.”
It also insisted that the agitation of the group will not stop until a referendum is organised to determine the fate of Biafra in a democratic manner.
“Until the Nigerian government fixes a date for referendum to settle the issue of Biafra in a civilised and democratic manner, this raging agitation led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will continue.
“We urge every Biafran, no matter where you are, to remain resolute and strong because Biafra is tantalisingly closer than we expect.”
