The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has reacted to claims that President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered the release of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
There were reports that Buhari has ordered the release of the IPOB leader from detention.
Kanu has been incarcerated since 2021 June, when he was abducted by the Nigerian security forces from Kenyan soul to Nigeria.
The Kenyan government has vehemently denied knowledge of the arrest of the IPOB leader on its soil by Nigerian government as Kenya’s Director-General of Immigration Services, Alexander Muteshi, dismissed the claims of the country’s complicity in the arrest and “extradition” of the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, to Nigeria.
However, on return to the country, the IPOB leader was then arraigned before Justice Binta Nyako-led Federal High Court sitting in Abuja by the Department of State Services (DSS).
The IPOB leader was arraigned on charges bordering on terrorism and President Buhari had during a media chat vowed that Nnamdi Kanu must never be released as he must face trial in Nigeria.
But, reports surfaced online that the President ordered the release of the IPOB leader from the DSS custody.
However, IPOB’s spokesman, Emma Powerful, on Monday, dismissed such reports.
In a chat with DAILY POST, Powerful said: “That is April fool and IPOB will not be moved by mere talk without action, IPOB is bigger than that.”
