The leader of Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu who is accused by the Nigerian Government of “propagating a secessionist agenda” with the intention to “levy war against Nigeria”.
Kanu, who also runs the London-based Radio Biafra, is facing charges of treasonable felony, managing an unlawful society and illegally shipping radio equipment into the country.
His arrest and continued detention has made him a figurehead for his supporters, whose repeated marches in the southeast have increasingly led to clashes with the police.
“Biafra has come to stay,” Kanu told AFP in a text message via his brother, Prince Emmanuel Kanu, who met him on Thursday in Kuje prison on the outskirts of Nigeria’s capital Abuja.
