Nnamdi Kanu reacts to court order for his arrest
The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has alleged that there is a gang up against him, members of his group and the Biafra struggle. Kanu, who is on a self-imposed exile away from Nigeria, made the allegation in reaction to the court order revoking his bail as well as ordering his arrest. A Federal High Court presided over by Justice Binta Nyako in Abuja, revoked Kanu’s bail on treason charges yesterday and also ordered his immediate arrest. However, in a live broadcast on Radio Biafra last night, Kanu said he was compelled to make the broadcast because of what his “enemies” are plotting against him. But he insisted that his perceived enemies will not prevail because light is on his side.
The IPOB leader said, “I have been compelled to make this very emergency broadcast this evening by the turn of events and we must address what our enemies are doing head-on. We know there is gang up against IPOB, there is gang up against Biafra, and there is gang up against my humble self but in all their doings, in all their machinations and in all their plans and their atrocities they will never prevail because truth is in our side, light is in our side and Chukwu Okike Abiama is with us and he would never abandon us until Biafra is restored and beyond. We are here to propagate this very gospel, the gospel truth and the gospel of redemption. People of iniquitous disposition will not understand what we are trying to do but the throne of light will”.
