From David Onwuchekwa, Nnewi and Godwin Tsa, Abuja

Leader of Biafra Independence Movement (BIM), Chief Ralph Uwazuruike has floated another Radio Biafra in Germany.
The Voice of Biafra International (VOBI) Radio, according to Uwazuruike would start broadcast on short waves (SW) band, soon.
The MASSOB leader added that the radio station would be the authentic voice of the Biafran people and would educate, inform and enlighten them on issues of Biafra and will not spread hate messages or blackmail.
He maintained that “MASSOB-BIM would continue to play a leading role in the quest for Biafra, assuring Igbo that it is only through non-violence that Biafra independence could be achieved without firing a gunshot.
The group said it had no regret that Radio Biafra London, set up in 2009 by Chief Uwazuruike and handed over to Nnamdi Kanu only for the same radio to be used to blackmail its leader and spread hate messages.
He allged that Kanu was only out to make money and fame and not firm and credible to propagate the Biafra struggle.
Meanwhile, Kanu has called on the Federal Government to withdraw the five-count amended charge preferred against him and other pro-Biafra agitators including Chidiebere Onwudiwe, Benjamin Madubugwu, David Nwawuisi and Bright Chimezie.
He further demanded that they should be set free without further delay as the amended charge which he said contained baseless allegations is a ploy by the Federal Government to continue to detain them.
This was even as Kanu warned Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo to refrain from making provocative and unacceptable comments pertaining to his trial before the Abuja division of the Federal High Court.
The pro-Biafra agitator said he considered such remarks by Osinbajo as a clear case of undue interference with judicial process capable of distorting the mindset of the trial judge, Justice Binta Nyako.
Kanu’s position, was contained in a statement issued in Abuja by his lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor on the dislodgment of the charge brought against him and others.
He made specific reference to the comment allegedly made by the acting president in his presentation before the Igbo Council of Traditional Rulers, that the agitation for Biafra is unconstitutional as it offends Section 2 of the 1999 Constitution, 2011 (as amended).
In addition, Kanu also referred to the consequent threat of arrest and imprisonment of those that exercise their unquestionable and inalienable rights to self-determination.
