Kanu’s freedom a taste of what is coming – IPOB

..Says it won’t abandon other members in detention

From Jeff Amechi Agbodo, Onitsha

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has said that the freedom of its leader and the director of Radio Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has proven to all and sundry that the coming and recognition for the young Biafra nation is around the corner.
The group said it would not fail to pursue relentlessly for the release of Mazi Chidiebere Onwudiwe, Mazi Benjamin Madubugwu, Mazi David Nwawuisi, Mazi Bright Chimezie Ishinwa, Mazi George Onyeibe and the 25 members detained illegally in Igweocha prison since 2015.
The Media and Publicity Secretary of IPOB, Mr. Emma Powerful, in his reaction to the release of Kanu on Friday commended those who stood by the leader of the group during his incarceration.
The statement reads in part: “We thank those leaders who stood as sureties to IPOB leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu which included the chairman South-East Senators Caucus and former deputy Governor of Abia State, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, a Jewish High Chief Priest Emmanuel Shalom and Chief Tochukwu Uchendu a chartered accountant residing in Abuja.
“We will remain grateful to God Almighty (Chukwu Okike Abiama) who made it possible and a remarkable day in the history of the newly formed nation called Biafra, it will remain evergreen in the hearts of every Biafran both born and unborn.”
“The Biafrans and IPOB members worldwide will forever remain grateful to you and be loyal to your good leadership. Your resoluteness and steadfastness has made us Biafrans proud, honestly we are proud of you Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.”
The IPOB official noted that a key member, Mazi Bright Chimezie Ishinwa, has remained in a DSS secret cell since October 2016 without being arraigned in court just as Mazi George Onyeibe, who was also kidnapped by the security operatives in his house in Obiakpo, Rivers state, was yet to regain freedom.  The group vowed not to abandon them.
