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.

    IPOB BANS INDEPENDENCE ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION ACTIVITIES IN SOUTH EAST ON OCTOBER 1

    IPOB BANS INDEPENDENCE ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION ACTIVITIES IN SOUTH EAST ON OCTOBER 1 The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has banned any form of Independence Day celebration activities in the entire South-East region of Nigeria on Tuesday, October 1, 2024. In a statement issued on Monday by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, IPOB asked people of the South-East at home and in the diaspora to avoid any Nigeria’s Independence celebration globally. Powerful said “IPOB calls on Biafrans (Southeasterners) globally to go about their normal business because we are not part of Nigeria and have nothing to do with their British flag independence of 1960. “We are aware that some prominent Igbo men and women played pivotal roles in securing the flag of independence that Nigeria celebrates annually on every October 1st, however, such independence has taken more blood of Ndigbo to maintain than any other ethnic group in Nigeria. “Biafrans have decided to reject the bloody flag of independence of Nigeria and work for the restoration of a true united and prosperous Independent State of Biafra. “Therefore, every Biafran should reject this Nigerian forced unity as we look forward to celebrating the Biafra independence soon. “Ndigbo must adhere to this clarion call to stop every activity concerning Nigeria’s independence tomorrow. There shall be no flying of Nigerian flags in Biafra territory. There shall be no independence activity for students in Biafraland. “Everyone should go about their businesses or use that Day for family quality time and rest at home for those who may choose not to go for their work and business.” He warned, “IPOB is not joking with the restoration of Biafra freedom and sovereignty. Do not make yourself an enemy of the struggle by participating in Nigeria flag independence celebrations tomorrow. “Parents and guardians must not allow their children to go for any Nigerian independence activities tomorrow. We are monitoring everywhere in Biafraland. As an Igbo Parent, do not allow your children to be sacrificed for a country that considers them less of a human.”

    BREAKING: NNAMDI KANU: JUSTICE NYAKO RECUSES SELF FROM CASE Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja has recused herself from the trial of the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu in the terrorism charges brought against him by the federal government. The Judge on Tuesday opted out of the trial following the outburst of Kanu that he had no confidence and trust in the judge. In the middle of Tuesday’s proceedings, Kanu had jumped up from the dock and ordered his lawyer, Aloy Ejimako to sit down for him to address the court. In the uproar that ensued, Kanu took over the proceedings, announced that he no longer had confidence in Justice Binta Nyako and demanded that she rescued himself immediately. Although the federal government lawyer, Adegboyega Awomolo, SAN, objected to Kanu’s request, the Judge insisted on recusing herself. Awomolo had argued that the order to open the trial was in line with a Supreme Court Judgment, Justice Binta Nyako said she would prefer another judge to handle the trial. The judge subsequently recused herself and ordered that the case file be returned to the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, John Tsoho for reassignment to another judge. Meanwhile, Kanu has been returned to the DSS custody.
