The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, in Australia, has cried out to the United Nations, European Union, United States of America and International human rights organizations to save the Igbo from what it described as political and economic annihilation.
IPOB lamented that the lives of Igbo youths and Biafran agitators are being threatened by the Nigeria government over their agitation for self determination.
The group described the repatriation of their leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to Nigeria as a slap on International Law and called for sanctions against Nigerian government for abusing Kanu’s fundamental human rights and other Biafran agitators.
Leader, IPOB Community Affairs Committee and Social Director, Mazi Nnamdi Nwokedi, who spoke on behalf of IPOB in Australia, stated that the role played by the Kenyan and Nigerian governments in the repatriation of Kanu is a clear proof that Nigeria and other Economic Community of West African States, ECOWAS, is not safe for freedom fighters.
He warned the Nigerian government to desist from any action that will threaten the lives of Kanu and other Biafran agitators.
“We, the Indigenous People of Biafra condemn the kidnap, torture and unlawful extradition of our Leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu by the Nigerian Government and their collaborators. We hereby beckon on the United Nations, African Union, United States of America, G8 Nations and International Human Rights organizations to caution the Nigeria government to stop threatening and harassing Igbo people and save them from political and economic annihilation by sanctioning the Nigerian government for their human rights abuses.
“Mazi Nnamdi Kanu must not be harmed in any way and should be provided access to medical care, his family and lawyers as his fundamental human right dictates.”
