Biafra: Nnamdi Kanu goes spiritual over new country for Ndigbo  

Leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has gone spiritual over the struggle for a new country for Ndigbo called Biafrans.

He said he would declare 40 days prayer and fasting by next week for Biafrans all over the world to seek God’s presence, and for more spiritual fortification for the task ahead.

Kanu said he’s ready to stand trial at the International Criminal Court, ICC, in Hague, if defending against unprovoked genocidal attacks by killer herdsmen and terrorists would warrant his appearance at the ICC.

Kanu who made the declaration on a live broadcast on Radio Biafra Sunday night, regretted that harassments and extrajudicial killings by security agencies have continued unabated across Biafra land.

He said that besides state-sponsored persecutions and brazen infuriating marginalisation and exclusion against Biafrans, killer herdsmen and terrorists have continued to raid communities in the region unchallenged by the security agencies.

” Herdsmen will attack us, rape our women, destroy our farms and kill our farmers nobody will arrest them but when we try to defend ourselves, government will come after us rolling out the tanks and using their helicopter gun boats”, he fumed.

The IPOB Leader who said that the Orlu military raid marked the beginning of the second Nigeria/Biafra war vowed to mobilise the people in defense of their ancestral land “no matter the consequences”.

” If defending our ancestral land against conquest by Fulani Janjaweed invaders will take me to the Hague I am ready to go to the Hague”, Kanu thundered.

Continuing he said: ” The world has the indicting report by the UN Reportuer against Nigeria but they have not done anything. Do we have to wait until we are all killed before we defend ourselves?”
