"Biafra or Death" – Nnamdi Kanu Replies MEND, FG over Negotiation on His Release

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has condemned the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) for its supposed agreement with the Federal Government over the release of detained IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu.

It described the purported negotiation as a “kangaroo agreement and a jamboree.”

A statement from the Media and Publicity Secretary of IPOB, Mr. Emma Powerful said the group only accepted the unconditional release of its leaders, insisting that only Kanu can negotiate on behalf of the group. The group vowed not to renounce the struggle for the restoration of Biafra state.

“IPOB under Mazi Nnamdi Kanu did not send MEND to negotiate for the release of our leader Kanu and other members in detention with him. It is unfortunate on the part of MEND to negotiate for the release our leader without the full knowledge of the organization.

“We the members of the indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB) worldwide and people of Biafra can never accept any release of our leader and other members detained alongside with him because he did not commit any crime, we can only accept the unconditional release of our leader, nothing more and nothing less,” IPOB stated.

The group continued: “MEND is a group which does not know what it is looking for and who decided to stay and use the plights of their people to make demand from the Federal Government, everybody knows that and Nnamdi Kanu is not the type who will sabotage the people of Biafra.

“Therefore, any group or individual that wants to use the struggle for Biafra to make money or to sabotage the independent state of Biafra will die with serious pains around him or her because this is God’s project which no human being can stop because it is a spirit that hovers around”.

“Again, a lot of people have sacrificed their lives for the restoration of Gods nation Biafra and it will be suicidal thoughts and mission for some group or individual to come towards the end of the total liberation of the people of Biafra to cause confusion we will not accept that.

“In line with this, Biafra is an anointed nation with Nnamdi Kanu anointed man from Chukwu Okike Abiama (God Almighty) who preserved and sent him to come and deliver his people, not those who will change along the way for material things.”
