Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu has said that he has been fighting forces of darkness since his arrest in October 2015.
Kanu also said that he would never abandon the fight for Biafra despite attempts from his persecutors to make him give up.
The IPOB leader made the comments through his lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejioffor, The Sun reports.
“I
have been battling with forces of darkness both physically and
spiritually since I was arrested. They came with many strategies just to
trick me into signing off my quest for Biafra and gain my personal
freedom,” Kanu said.
“Little did
they know that I am more intelligent and determined; I refused all
their offers because the freedom of my people, Biafrans, is paramount to
me and their freedom is the freedom of Nnamdi Kanu. The pains and agony
of all Biafrans are the pains and agony of Kanu.
“Prominent
leaders, countries in the world and those who don’t have the videos of
the killed Biafrans in their possession should go to YouTube and watch
the heinous crime committed by the Nigeria Government and her security
agencies against peaceful members of IPOB during peaceful rallies and
demonstrations in all the Biafra cities of Aba, Onitsha, Owerri,
Igweocha (Port Harcourt), Calabar, Uyo, Asaba, Enugu, Bayelsa and other
numerous cities.
“The senseless
killing of Biafrans is the senseless killing of Nnamdi Kanu. The cry of
the Biafran youths is the cry of Nnamdi Kanu. The joblessness of
Biafrans after university is the joblessness of Nnamdi Kanu.
“The
impoverishment and subjugation of all Biafrans is the impoverishment
and subjugation of Nnamdi Kanu. The child abuse of Biafran children by
the Hausa/Fulani cattle herders is that of Nnamdi Kanu.
“The
illegal detention of Biafrans in several prisons both overseas and
Nigeria is that of Nnamdi Kanu. The sexual harassment of our young
ladies while seeking for jobs after graduation is that of Nnamdi Kanu.
“The
raping and killing of our mothers and sister in our farmland by the
Hausa/Fulani cattle headers is also that of Nnamdi Kanu. The untimely
death of Biafrans due to bad road situations in Biafra Land is that of
Nnamdi Kanu.
“The cries of our
parents living in the riverine areas they call South/South due to the
environmental damage caused by Shell in our land is also that of Nnamdi
Kanu.
“The seizure of goods and
sleepless nights and pains of all the Biafrans importers in the hands of
the Hausa/Fulani, Yoruba customs and Police is that of Nnamdi Kanu.
“The
stress that Biafrans pass through while traveling for 8 hours to Lagos
and Abuja International Airports before they gain access to travel
abroad which in most cases take many lives in the process while
traveling is that of Nnamdi Kanu.
“The
heartbreak of Biafran business men and women, importers and petty
traders in Lagos State due to intentional fire outbreaks caused by
haters of Biafrans, in their business places in Lagos and another part
of Nigeria is that of Nnamdi Kanu.
“The
cry of the Biafran families that lose their children in Malaysia,
Indonesia, China, and India and other parts of the world due to
immigration and police intimidation is that of Nnamdi Kanu. The death of
Biafrans, those trying to cross Sahara Desert and Mediterranean Sea to
Europe in search of greener pastures is that of Nnamdi Kanu.
“The
fake promises of all the politicians in our villages and towns in
(Biafran land) who promise and deceive our parents during election but
always failing them after being voted into power and all these
problems that affect all Biafrans are the problems of Nnamdi Kanu too.
“I
want to say, thank you, thank you to our mothers from, Akwa-Ibom, Cross
Rivers, Rivers, Bayelsa, Delta, Ebonyi, Enugu, Anambra, Imo, Abia
states. I am grateful for all our mothers because you gave birth to
these great men and women of honour, those sons and daughters that
always protest for my release under the Sun and rain. My thanks to all
the fathers too who allowed their children to join (IPOB meetings)
across Biafra Land,” he added.
The IPOB leader is facing charges of treason due to his activities as the Director of Radio Biafra.
