Leader of Indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu

The proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra has questioned what it termed the silence of the United States of America over the rendition of its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, from Kenya to Nigeria.

The query was contained in a statement by the IPOB Secretary of Media and Publicity, Emma Powerful, on Monday.

The statement reads in full:

BIAFRA QUESTIONS TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA GOVERNMENT’S SILENCE OVER MAZI NNAMDI KANU’s EXTRAORDINARY RENDITION FROM KENYA TO NIGERIA- IPOB.
We the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Okwu KANU have a burning question to ask the world community. Why is the righteous minded global conscience of both poor and rich nations, The United States of America so loudly silent in the matter of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu? Their silence in this case of great concern to over seventy million Biafrans is deafening!

We know through history that it was the United States of America who acted as the world’s conscience to challenge some European countries after the World wars and compelled them to let their colonized African nations goes with flags independence from 1950s. The contraption known as Nigeria is one of such countries that gained their false independence during that Era. Dear USA, we the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) call upon you today to complete the work you started then.

African nations are still trapped in false amalgamation that were not Germain to our ethnic makeups. In the case of Nigeria, the colonial masters are still using their influence to oppress the Indigenous nations. One such situation that has caused us to rise up and cry out. Nigeria is polluting our land through oil exploration and extraction and when we ask them to clean it up, they kill our people, raze down our communities, bribe our leaders and few politicians place other heavy burdens of oppression on us in other to shut us up.

As if all the oppression is not enough, the Fulani terrorist herdsmen has entered Nigeria with a jihad agenda that has been supported by the Nigerian Fulani politicians. This Fulanized Nigeria government has extraordinarily renditioned the leader of The Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from Kenya to Nigeria. Mazi Nnamdi KANU is not a Nigeria citizen but has for along time taken up British citizenship.

But our questions to United States Of American government and the world most powerful Nations in the world and the Police of the free world are as follows;

Why did US Government keep mute during the Biafra genocidal war by the Nigerian Government with support from the Britain and her allies where over 5 million innocent Biafran lives were wasted between 1967 to 1970 and till date?
Why the US Government kept mute in the face of extraordinary rendition of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu by Nigeria Government in violation of international law and protocols? While still keeping him in their detention facilities.
Why the US Government still kept mute in the face of continue illegal detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu by the Nigeria Government and even after competent Courts in Nigeria (Abuja Appeal Court and Umuahia High Court) pronounced him discharged and acquitted since 13th October 2022 and October 27, 2022 respectively and thereby violating his human and fundamental rights?
Why is the US Government still keeping mute and not prevail on Nigerian Government to start the process of referendum for Biafra People to determine decide to remain or go on their separate way based on self determination principles?
What is the US Government benefiting from the very corrupt and corruption ravaged Nigeria Governance system that warrant their long silence on the ongoing genocides against Biafrans and total disregard to international laws and protocols in the case of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu?

African and the gulf of Guinea and by extension the world will not know peace until the question of Biafra, Nigeria forced amalgamation and artificial borders created by colonial masters are addressed.

America Government, a supposed world upholder of democracy and human right protector, and a global Police, the world is watching you.

American Government must rise up and do the needful and redeem their image and integrity of the global world.

Nigeria has held Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in a special jail situation in their Directorate of State Services DSS in their solitary confinement for over sixteen months. They have denied our leader his proper medication, his prayer parafinilia, and even food during his illegal detention. Appeal Court of Nigeria in Abuja, Nigeria has heard his case and duly acquitted and discharged our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from all charges against him in the Nigeria court system, but until today, Nigeria is still holding Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in DSS solitary confinement in violation of order of the court.

IPOB needs the help and intervention of the United States of America in gaining his release and calling for a free and fair referendum supervised by the United Nations to determine if Biafra should again be restored as a sovereign independent state among league of nations.

America government led by Joe Biden , the global world are looking upon you, does it mean American embassy in Abuja is not giving accurate information of what Biafrans are suffering in the hands of this contraption packaged together by Britain in 1914.

Man Pays Kidnappers ₦900,000 to Abduct Aunt Who Raised Him

Man Pays Kidnappers ₦900,000 to Abduct Aunt Who Raised Him

The Nigeria Police Force in Delta State has arrested a 31-year-old man, Chukwemeka Destiny, for allegedly plotting the kidnapping of his aunt who reportedly raised him from childhood, in a case authorities describe as a shocking act of betrayal.

The suspect was paraded on Saturday by the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Bright Edafe, who said Destiny had already paid a total of ₦900,000 to individuals he believed were kidnappers to abduct the woman.

According to the police, the suspect lived with his aunt from the age of five until he was 15. During that period, she reportedly catered for his upbringing and education before he later left home and cut ties with the family.

Police spokesperson Edafe said the case reflects a disturbing pattern of violent betrayal involving close relations and benefactors.

“All of a sudden, something came to his mind that he should kidnap the same aunt who trained him and saw him through school,” Edafe said, noting that the suspect had made payments in two instalments of ₦200,000 and ₦700,000.

Investigations revealed that the plot failed after the individuals Destiny contacted turned out not to be actual kidnappers. Instead, they reportedly played along and alerted authorities, leading to his arrest and preventing the crime from being executed.

“Unknown to him, the people he contacted were not kidnappers. They used him as bait and handed him over to the police,” Edafe added.

During interrogation, the suspect reportedly confessed to the offence but said he could not explain what motivated his actions.

“Sincerely speaking, I am guilty of what happened. I don’t know what came over me. I can’t tell,” he said.

Destiny, who identified himself as a married father of two and a businessman in haulage and building materials, claimed the funds used for the attempted operation came from his business earnings.

“I made a deposit of ₦200,000 first, then I paid ₦700,000 the next day,” he admitted.

The victim, who is the suspect’s maternal aunt, said she was devastated upon learning of the alleged plot against her.

“I was shocked… crying,” she said, adding that Destiny had disappeared from the family after leaving her home at age 15 and rarely maintained contact despite being seen occasionally in the neighbourhood.

She further stated that she supports full prosecution of the suspect.

“Anything they know to do to such people, they should do it to him,” she said.

Police authorities said the suspect is currently in custody under the Delta State Police Command’s Raiders Squad, while investigations continue into the full circumstances of the case and possible accomplices.

Security officials described the incident as part of a growing trend of kidnapping conspiracies involving trusted relatives and associates, urging the public to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities.

Security Operatives Arrest Kidnappers, Recover ₦8m Ransom in Plateau

Joint security operatives in Qua’an Pan Local Government Area of Plateau State have arrested two suspected kidnappers, recovered ₦8 million allegedly paid as ransom, and rescued an abducted woman during a coordinated operation in the area.

The operation, which involved multiple security agencies, also led to the rescue of a female victim who had been held in a forest hideout before she was freed and reunited with her family.

The development was confirmed on Saturday by the Media Aide to the Qua’an Pan Local Government Chairman, Hon. Dr. Christopher Audu Manship, Danaan Cletus.

According to reports, the arrested suspects are linked to a violent criminal operation that included the killing of Alhaji Saidu Mamma and the abduction of his daughter. The gang allegedly collected ₦8 million in ransom before security operatives tracked them down.

The suspects were apprehended following intelligence-led surveillance and a coordinated search operation across suspected hideouts. Authorities also recovered the ransom money, which is currently being processed as evidence before being returned to the victim’s family.

During the parade of the suspects, Chairman Manship reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to flushing out criminal elements from the local government area.

“We will not allow criminals to operate in Qua’an Pan or use this LGA as a hideout after committing crimes in neighbouring areas,” he said, commending the security agencies for their swift response and successful operation.

He further directed that the recovered ₦8 million be returned to the family of the late Alhaji Saidu Mamma, whose daughter was among those affected by the attack.

In a related development, security operatives also rescued Mrs. Gambo Bello, who had been abducted in Lafia Local Government Area of Nasarawa State and moved into the Pandam Game Reserve in Qua’an Pan.

Her rescue followed credible intelligence reports that prompted a search-and-rescue mission in the forest area, leading to her safe recovery and reunification with her relatives.

Security authorities say the dual success highlights improved coordination among agencies working to tackle kidnapping and armed criminality across Plateau and neighbouring states.

Chairman Manship also expressed appreciation to Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang for supporting local security efforts and strengthening response capacity in vulnerable communities.

Nnamdi Kanu Thanks Ex-US Mayor Mike Arnold, Reaffirms IPOB Support

The detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has expressed appreciation to former United States mayor Mike Arnold, commending what he described as Arnold’s efforts to present a “truthful account” of his situation and the activities of the IPOB movement.

The message was disclosed on Saturday by Kanu’s special counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, who said he was instructed to deliver the statement in full without any modifications.

In the letter, Kanu praised Arnold’s intervention in ongoing international conversations about Nigeria, describing his comments as a rare example of “honesty amid dominant global narratives.”

“Dear Mike, I am writing to acknowledge your remarkable effort in shedding light on the truth about me and my people. Your commitment to the truth is commendable,” Kanu said in the statement.

He further suggested that global understanding of the IPOB issue would have been different if similar voices had spoken earlier.

“You can count on the support of the Indigenous People of Biafra and myself. May Elohim guide and protect you always,” he added.

The message comes amid continued legal proceedings and diplomatic attention surrounding Kanu’s prolonged detention and the wider agitation campaign in Nigeria’s South-East.

Earlier, IPOB had also praised Arnold and some members of the United States Congress, describing their comments on Nigeria’s security situation as a “bold intervention” and alleging that they helped highlight alleged attacks in parts of the country.

In a statement issued by IPOB spokesperson Emma Powerful, the group said it welcomed what it called international acknowledgment of violence affecting communities in Nigeria, particularly in the Middle Belt and southern regions.

The group also reiterated claims that past warnings issued by Kanu were being validated by ongoing insecurity in parts of the country, citing attacks across several states as evidence of worsening violence.

However, the Nigerian government has consistently maintained that IPOB is a proscribed organisation under Nigerian law and has denied allegations of systematic persecution as described by the group.

Security analysts note that the IPOB issue remains one of Nigeria’s most sensitive political and security challenges, with ongoing court cases and diplomatic commentary continuing to shape public debate.
