Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB has threatened to resume protests and employ Boko Haram tactics to achieve demands if by January 18, 2016, its leader and Director of Radio Biafra, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu is not released from the cell of Department of State Services, DSS.

IPOB’s Media and Publicity Officer, Mr. Emma Powerful, who addressed newsmen in Nnewi, accused narrated how the DSS has contributed to Kanu’s deteriorating health and how he has been denied access to treatment.

Powerful said “Information reaching us from DSS office is that Mr. Kanu has been complaining of pains at both sides of his lungs. He has been having persistent cough for the past two weeks, and the coughing is so severe that traces of blood is noticed in the sputum. He is equally having respiratory problem now.

“They have also perfected another plan and way of killing his morale and frustrating him in the DSS cell. They are doing that through denying him access to newspapers and magazines, all in an attempt to shut him out of what is happening, because according to them, he is a ‘never say die’ type of activist that needs all manner of frustrating and intimidating measures to make him renounce his agitation.

“We are Biafrans, our level of technological development has gone beyond what people know, If we can do what we did during the Nigeria-Biafra war, then one can imagine what we will do at this computer age. That we decided to be non-violent does not mean that we cannot do what Boko Haram insurgents are doing.

“We are being pushed to the wall by the present Nigerian government, and we will soon display a little of the stuff we are made of, if Mr. Kanu is not released on January 18, when his case is coming up in court.”

The group directed all its members, all pro-Biafra groups and agitators to be in Abuja on January 18, 2016 for Mr. Kanu’s court appearance to witness the proceedings of that day.
