The Indigenous People of Biafra has threatened that if its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, is rearrested, Nigeria will disintegrate faster than expected.
IPOB made its position known in a statement by its spokesman, Comrade Emma Powerful, on Tuesday.
It also faulted the Arewa Consultative Forum and Paul Unongo for their alleged attack on Ohanaeze Ndigbo and its President, Chief John Nnia Nwodo.
IPOB said in the statement: “We, the Indigenous People of Biafra worldwide, under the command and leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu condemn in its entirety, the statement credited to the Arewa Consultative Forum and their decorative happy-slave chairman, Chief Paul Unongo for daring to attack Ohanaeze Ndigbo and its chairman, Chief John Nnia Nwodo for rising up in defense of the truth.
“This truth is that IPOB leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has not committed any crime known to the laws of Nigeria to warrant his re-arrest. If Nigeria ever had a case against our leader, why has the Attorney General of the Federation, AGF, not commenced the trial since October 2015 when our leader was first arrested?”
