IPOB Leader-Nnamdi kanu

    A group known as the Society for Civil Liberties and the Rule of Law (Inter-society) and Southeast Based Coalition of Human Rights Organisations(SBCHROs) has denied a report saying it named some elites in the south east as sponsors of Biafra. The group said in a statement on Sunday, June 4, that it never named deputy senate president, Ike Ekweremadu, Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra state, and former gov. of Anambra, Peter obi as all being part of those funding the Biafra agitators.

    The group made this denial after a publication on Daily Times went viral, which supposedly associated Peter obi and others in the south east as those funding the Biafra movement.

It can be recalled that Governor Willie Obiano was alleged to have gifted car and cash gifts to the IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu in a report by Daily Times. In the said report, the individuals, organizations listed here, were those alleged to have been funding the Biafra agigators:

-          Amnesty International

-          Alaigbo Development Foundation

-          Igbo Youth Movement

-          Ike Ekweremadu

-          Peter Obi

-          Joe Achuzia

-          US Embassy in Nigeria

-          Mike Akuoma

-          Ugochukwu Chinwuba

-          Ikechukwu Okoye

-          Prince Emeka Onyeso

-          Okechukwu Nwanguma

-          Aloysius Attah

-          Ibuchukwu Ezike

-          Tochukwu Ezeoke and his Igbo Ekunie group

-          Justus and Justine Ijeomas

-          Ekwenche Group, USA

   These patrons of the Biafra movement were diverting resources meant for improving the lives of Nigerians to the Pro-Biafra groups to finance their revolt. This was revealed according to the group.

  Meanwhile, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has warned against the re-arrest of of Nnamdi Kanu. Saying it would be a big mistake on the part of the Federal government and security operatives, because by so doing, the attention of the world leaders will be drawn.

 The pro-Biafra group in a statement by its media and publicity secretary, Comrade Emma Powerful on Sunday, June 4, said Nnmadi Kanu isn’t afraid of going to the prison a second.

 The group, as reported by Vanguard, said there was need to make the clarification, especially for those who were calling for the re-arrest of the IPOB leader, Nnamdi for allegedly flouting his bail conditions.
