The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, will on September 23, 2016 protest against the continuous incarceration of its embattled leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

Recall that Kanu, who also doubles as the Director of Radio Biafra was arrested on October 14, 2015, in Lagos by the Department of State Services, DSS, and had since remained incarcerated despite court rulings granting him freedom.

Disclosing the planned protest in a statement signed by its spokesperson, Emma Powerful, the group’s Directorate of State, DOS, said the protest will hold all over the world except Nigeria where “church services will be held.”

The IPOB worldwide protest will take place in all the countries across the globe except in Biafra land and Nigeria where church services will be held.

“Every IPOB member and other Biafrans living in Nigeria and Biafra land will stay in their homes on that day.”

The secessionist group also appealed to “all markets, schools, Banks, transport companies and manufacturing companies to close on same day in solidarity with the overall objectives of the Biafra restoration process irrespective of your persuasion or affiliation.
