NNAMDI KANU AGREES TO COMPLY WITH TINUBU GOVT’S TERMS OF RELEASE – ABARIBE

NNAMDI KANU AGREES TO COMPLY WITH TINUBU GOVT’S TERMS OF RELEASE – ABARIBE The detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has reportedly agreed to comply with the conditions set by President Bola Tinubu-led Nigerian government for his release from the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS). This was disclosed by Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe representing Abia South Senatorial District on Wednesday after their recent meeting between the South-East Senators and the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN) on Kanu’s release. Led by Senator Abaribe, approximately 15 federal lawmakers participated in the closed-door meeting. Senator Abaribe, speaking on behalf of his colleagues after the meeting, expressed optimism that the Attorney-General would influence the Federal Government to consider releasing Kanu. He emphasised that Kanu’s prolonged detention was contributing to heightened insecurity and unrest in the South-East region. Senator Abaribe was reported to have said that he had personally met with Kanu at the DSS headquarters, where Kanu expressed readiness to comply with any conditions set by the government for his release. The senators’ meeting with the Attorney-General followed the South-East governors’ decision to appeal directly to President Tinubu for Kanu’s freedom. Earlier, a group of 50 members from the House of Representatives had urged President Tinubu to instruct the Attorney-General to use Section 174 of the Constitution to terminate the terrorism-related charges against Kanu in court. Nnamdi Kanu’s legal saga began with his initial arrest in Lagos in October 2015, subsequent bail in April 2017, and eventual escape from the country amid his trial. He was re-arrested in Kenya in June 2021 and has since remained in custody of the DSS. Despite the Court of Appeal’s order for his release in October 2022, the Supreme Court later overturned this decision in December 2023, allowing the Federal Government to proceed with the trial on seven remaining charges.This ongoing legal battle continues to attract significant attention and advocacy efforts from lawmakers and leaders in the South East region of Nigeria.

SIT-AT-HOME: NNAMDI KANU LOSES GRIP AS SIMON EKPA DICTATES TUNE

SIT-AT-HOME: NNAMDI KANU LOSES GRIP AS SIMON EKPA DICTATES TUNE Despite Nnamdi Kanu’s explicit cancellation of the sit-at-home order, which he personally wrote and announced, the directive is still being enforced by those loyal to Simon Ekpa’s faction. This blatant disregard for Kanu’s instructions has led to chaos and criminality in the southeast region. According to Babajide Kolade Otitoju, a seasoned investigative journalist, many people in the region are no longer listening to Kanu’s instructions, instead opting to follow Simon Ekpa’s directives. This division has created an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty, with innocent citizens bearing the brunt of the violence and criminality. “It’s a sad situation, where cultists and brainwashed individuals are using the sit-at-home order as an excuse to perpetuate criminality,” Otitoju said in an interview on TVC News’ “Issues with Jide.” “Nnamdi Kanu’s cancellation of the sit-at-home order was clear, but Simon Ekpa’s faction is refusing to listen, and it’s causing harm to innocent people.” The situation has raised concerns about the fragility of the peace process in the region, with many calling for the government to take decisive action to restore order and bring the perpetrators to justice. In his words; “Many people are not even taking Nnamdi Kanu’s instruction, they’re listening to Simon Ekpa even when Nnamdi kanu announced that he had cancelled sit at home which he wrote in his own hands to cancel it, sit at home is still being enforced by cultists and some undesirable elements who are listening to Simon Ekpa who have been brainwashed and see the sit at home as an opportunity to perpetuate criminality”

ABAGANA WATERLOO: HOW BIAFRAN FORCES ROASTED NIGERIAN SOLDIERS IN AN AMBUSH

ABAGANA WATERLOO: HOW BIAFRAN FORCES ROASTED NIGERIAN SOLDIERS IN AN AMBUSH The Abagana Ambush of March 31st 1968 is one out of the many confrontations between Nigerian and Biafran troops during the civil war which lasted for exactly two years, six months and nine days. It was during this ambush that the Nigerian army suffered the heaviest single loss in the civil war. In October 1967, the 2nd Division of the Nigerian Army, led by Col. Murtala Muhammed, chased Biafran Soldiers into Onitsha. Right after the Biafran army crossed into Onitsha, they blew up a part of the River Niger Bridge to prevent the Nigerian troops from crossing. Struck on the other side of the river, the Nigerian troops turned back to Asaba and ransacked the town in an attack that is later known in Nigerian history as the Asaba Massacre of 1967. In December 1967, the 2nd Division of the Nigerian Army finally crossed the River Niger Bridge into Onitsha and captured the city after three failed attempts. After crossing into Onitsha, the Murtala-led 2nd Division planned to link up with the 1st Division, led by Col. Shuwa, which was penetrating the Igbo heartland from the north through Nsukka in Enugu. So, on the 31st of March 1968, the Nigerian 2nd Division moved out towards Enugu in a long convoy escorted by armored cars. The Abagana Ambush Prolific Nigerian novelist, Chinua Achebe, wrote: “The amalgamation of these two forces, the Nigerian Army hoped, would then serve as a formidable force that would ‘smash the Biafrans”. Col. Murtala Muhammed was said to have assembled and deployed a convoy of 102 vehicles which included troop carriers, fuel tankers and four armoured cars to facilitate this plan on March 31, 1968. However, the Biafran secret intelligence caught wind of the plan and reported it to a higher Biafran command which instantly planned an ambush. A 700-man troop, led by Major Jonathan Uchendu, was given the task to ambush the invading Nigerian force at Abagana in the Enugu-Onitsha highway. The unsuspecting Nigerian 2nd division, numbering about 6000 soldiers, marched on until they were halted by a surprise attack from a smaller but well-prepared Biafran army. The Biafran troops allowed the Nigerian troops to march right into their midst before raining bullets on them. A homemade rocket called ogbunigwe was used during the Abagana Ambush. One of the ogbunigwe rockets was launched directly at a fuel tanker in the Nigerian army convoy leading to chains of explosions which created a 400-metre conflagration that incinerated men and metals within seconds. Refuelling vehicles exploded and burnt many infantry units. After the OGBUNIGWE rocket attack, Biafran soldiers opened fire, killing what is left of the shocked 2nd division of the Nigerian Army. About 600 Nigerian soldiers died in the attack; many others scampered in different directions. Col. Murtala Muhammed was relieved of duty afterwards and never commanded a division again during the war. Although some accounts put Murtala as having been among those in the convoy, this had not been definitively shown to have been the case. Jonathan Uchendu, the commander of the Biafran army that led the Abagana Ambush, recounted that the sight of the 2nd Division convoy almost paralyzed his troops. His boys were so anxious to start firing, more out of panic than anything else. He asked them to remain calm until he gave the command. He allowed much of the Nigerian 2nd Division convoy to pass through. His boys were shocked why he would allow them go through into the Biafran held zone. They were nervous and suspicious, yet they trusted his military gallantry and so awaited to know his strategy.The Abagana Ambush was probably the most resounding battle ever won by the Biafrans during the…

US JUSTICE DEPARTMENT REGISTERS BRGIE AS ENTRY FOR BIAFRA INDEPENDENCE, CLAIMS SIMON EKPA

US JUSTICE DEPARTMENT REGISTERS BRGIE AS ENTRY FOR BIAFRA INDEPENDENCE, CLAIMS SIMON EKPA BIAFRA activist, Simon Ekpa, appears not to be backing down on his movement as he announced on Friday that the United States Department of Justice has officially registered the Biafra Republic Government In-Exile, BRGIE, as an entity for Biafra Independence. This is coming at a time the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu offered room for a possible dialogue with the Nigerian government. A week ago, Ekpa insisted that the declaration of Biafra Independence would restore peace to the West African region. Ekpa, who is known as the Prime Minister of BRGIE through his official X handle on Friday, said the decision by the US Department of Justice was a step in the right direction. He said the US Justice Department approved all paperwork requesting legitimacy.“Following the approval of the United States Department of Justice, the Biafra Republic Government In Exile BRGIE is now an officially registered entity with the United States Department of Justice,” he said.

SIMON EKPA GIVES NIGERIAN GOVT CONDITION FOR PEACE IN SOUTH EAST

SIMON EKPA GIVES NIGERIAN GOVT CONDITION FOR PEACE IN SOUTH EAST The self-styled Prime Minister of the Biafra Republic Government In-Exile (BRIGE), Simon Ekpa, has told the Nigerian government what must be done for peace to reign in the South-East region of the country. Ekpa called on the Nigerian government to dismantle and withdraw all checkpoints in South-East if it is really desirous of peace to return to the region. Ekpa who made the call while speaking in an interactive X space session on Wednesday, said the recurring crisis in the South-East region should be blamed on the Nigerian government’s militarization of the region. The Finland-based Ekpa went further to clarify what he termed the misrepresentation of the Biafran agitation, saying the only thing Biafrans want is lasting peace in their region and to achieve this, the Nigerian government should demilitarise the South-East. The region has been wrought with violent attacks and kidnappings which has led to loss of lives and property. Ekpa and his supporters have continued to declare sit-at-home days in the area, accompanied with attacks on security agencies within the region. According to him, the Nigerian government should be blamed for the crisis in the South-East because it militarised the region. “We are against the Nigerian state for militarising Biafra. Those claiming we are violent should blame the Nigerian state,” Ekpa said.‘They brought violence while we defend ourselves. We demand to withdraw the military and dismantle all checkpoints in Biafra territory,” Ekpa said.

NNAMDI KANU NOT SEEKING NEGOTIATION WITH FEDERAL GOVT – LAWYER

NNAMDI KANU, NOT SEEKING NEGOTIATION WITH FEDERAL GOVT – LAWYER Aloy Ejimakor, special counsel for the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has described news report by some media platforms titled ‘Kanu Seeks Negotiation With FG’, as false. Some sections of media platforms have reported that Kanu through Ejimakor on Wednesday at the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja sought negotiation with the Nigerian government on the terrorism charges levelled against him. But reacting to the reports, Ejimakor described them as false. According to the lawyer, the court invoked the provisions of Section 17 of the Federal High Court Act and directed the Nigerian government and Kanu to pursue reconciliation. He said, “The news titled ‘Kanu seeks negotiation with FG’ is false & a deep-fake news meant to twist an idea that was muted as an alternative to trial by the Court and the parties.“The truth is that the Court directed the parties to consider the option of reconciliation which the law allows,” he explained.

COURT ENJOINS FEDERAL GOVT, NNAMDI KANU TO SETTLE OUT-OF-COURT

COURT ENJOINS FEDERAL GOVT, NNAMDI KANU TO SETTLE OUT-OF-COURT The Abuja Federal High Court has enjoined the Nigerian government and Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, to settle their protracted case without recourse to legal maneuvers and judicial back-and-forths. Justice Binta Nyako ordered the Attorney General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi and Kanu to explore political solution and reconciliation in the ongoing terrorism trial. The Wednesday order was sequel to the invocation of the court’s power under Section 17 of the Federal High Court Act. Section 17 of the Federal High Court Act provides that, “In any proceedings in the Court, the Court may promote reconciliation among the parties thereto and encourage and facilitate the amicable settlement thereof.” Responding, the prosecutor, Ademoyega Awomolo, SAN, told the court that he has no objection to political settlement of the case. Awomolo said the court should direct Kanu’s lawyers to discuss directly with the Attorney-General. Kanu’s Lead Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, did not express objection to political settlement of the case. Thereafter, Justice Nyako adjourned the case till September 24 for further hearing. Kanu had been incarcerated since June 2021 when he was arrested in Kenya and repatriated to Nigeria. Several bodies, including the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, had urged President Bola Tinubu to consider a political solution to Kanu’s continued detention.Last month, former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, asked the Federal Government to explore political solution to address the Nnamdi Kanu’s imbroglio after five soldiers were killed in Abia State.

IPOB WAS FOUNDED ON PRINCIPLES OF NON-VIOLENCE – NNAMDI KANU, CONDEMNS KILLINGS IN SOUTH EAST

IPOB WAS FOUNDED ON PRINCIPLES OF NON-VIOLENCE – NNAMDI KANU, CONDEMNS KILLINGS IN SOUTH EAST Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has condemned in the strongest terms, the spate of killings in the South-East region of Nigeria. Kanu, on Wednesday when he appeared at the Federal High Court in Abuja for his trial, accompanied by his legal team, condemned particularly the recent killing of five soldiers in Aba, Abia state. The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has condemned “every manner of killing” in the South East. Kanu spoke on Wednesday when he appeared before the Federal High Court Abuja where he is being tried for treasonable felony charges. Addressing journalists on the recent violence in the South-East, Kanu emphasised his commitment to peace and denied any involvement in the killing of soldiers. He said, “I unequivocally condemn all acts of violence. IPOB was founded on principles of non-violence, and we remain steadfast in that stance. “Some of these soldiers are our own people, and their families are mourning. We cannot condone violence; we seek freedom. “All the making of young widows is totally condemnable. We stand for peace and that is why we are doing what we are doing. “We have endured centuries of suffering, from slavery in Arabia and Europe to modern-day challenges. It’s time for Africa to rise as God intended.” Kanu’s statements followed calls from his legal team for his release, having submitted a comprehensive list of domestic and international court rulings to the Attorney General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi, at the Federal Ministry of Justice in Abuja. The legal team cited these judgments as grounds for Kanu’s release, responding to earlier claims by the AGF that he was unaware of Kanu’s case. Meanwhile, Kanu’s lawyers had filed a preliminary objection at the Federal High Court in Abuja, challenging the court’s jurisdiction to proceed with the trial. Despite this, Justice Binta Nyako dismissed Kanu’s plea to reinstate his revoked bail and relocate him from the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS). Kanu has been in DSS custody since his arrest in Kenya in June 2021, facing charges related to terrorism brought against him by the Federal Government.Also speaking on Kanu’s case, the IPOB leader’s Special lawyer, Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, in a post on his X platform handle said, “Given Nigeria’s violations of her treaty obligations regarding Nnamdi Kanu (a British citizen), Britain does not need any court order to retrieve him from Nigeria. His case is beyond diplomatic niceties.”

CLARK WRITES OPEN LETTER TO TINUBU, CALLS FOR RELEASE OF NNAMDI KANU

CLARK WRITES OPEN LETTER TO TINUBU, CALLS FOR RELEASE OF NNAMDI KANU Ijaw leader, and convener of Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), Edwin Clark, has called on President Bola Tinubu to direct Lateef Fagbemi, attorney-general of the federation (AGF) and minister of justice, to drop all charges against Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). Clark spoke in an open letter addressed to Tinubu on Sunday. In the letter, the PANDEF convener asked the president to use his executive power to release the IPOB leader, as was done in the case of Abdullahi Bodejo, president of Miyetti Allah. “I have never supported the activities of IPOB under the leadership of Nnamdi Kanu, but today, Nigeria, a broken country where many groups and nativities have cried foul to the way Nigeria had been going since 1999 because of the military constitution imposed on Nigerians by the military,” the letter reads. “Today, our economy is failing, our democracy is failing, our education and health institutions are collapsing, the youths are jobless, and some people are treated as second-class citizens while a few enjoy the fruit of the so-called democracy we are passing through, coupled with the violence and insecurity in the south-east; and if allowed to continue, the consequences will be very unpleasant to all Nigerians. “The unity of Nigeria can only be achieved and sustained if every part of the country is treated equally with the other parts, in all ramifications. “No one can play God over Nigeria, and no section owns this country more than any other section. We want Mr. President to reassure Nigerians of our oneness.” Clark said Kanu’s release will end the Monday sit-at-home order in the south-east and restore peace in the country. The elder statesman called for the reintegration of Igbos into the mainstream of Nigerian politics to give room for equality amongst the regions. “Let me re-emphasize the importance and urgency of reintegrating the Igbos into the mainstream of Nigeria, where their region will be equal with other regions in all ramifications, meaning that they should be fully and unconditionally united or be admitted into the union of Nigeria as it was before the civil war.“The release of Nnamdi Kanu by Mr. President on political grounds is overdue, as earlier explained. Mr. President should direct the attorney general to enter a nolle prosequi to free Nnamdi Kanu, who has shown his intention to work with the federal government, in order to bring peace and stability in the south-east and to Nigerians as a whole, as it has been recently done in similar cases of treasonable felony, as in the case of Miyetti Allah president Abdullahi Bello Bodejo of Nasarawa state,” Clark said.
