The Tenacity of IPOB: A Lesson in Discipline Amidst a Sea of Deceit

  The Tenacity of IPOB: A Lesson in Discipline Amidst a Sea of Deceit  

There’s a certain beauty in watching a well-oiled machine run flawlessly, even when its driver is unjustly detained. Such is the story of IPOB, a movement that has mastered the art of navigating storms without losing direction. In the absence of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB has continued to hold its structure firm, unshaken by the destructive ploys of the Nigerian state. This is a tale worth telling, especially when compared to the violent theatrics of Simon Ekpa's faction a group seemingly born to disgrace every principle of struggle and humanity.

  

Despite Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's prolonged and unjust detention, IPOB has demonstrated resilience that even their detractors secretly admire. They have skillfully resisted the Nigerian government’s attempts to provoke them into violence a trap laid with the precision of a spider weaving its web. Instead of succumbing, IPOB has stuck to its ethos of non-violence, gaining respect and recognition across the globe.  

Unlike their violent counterparts, IPOB’s non-violent approach has earned its members the liberty to operate freely in virtually every corner of the world. Take Finland, for instance a land of law, order, and snowy neutrality. IPOB was legally registered, it's members freely gather, strategize, and promote their cause without fear of persecution. In contrast, Simon Ekpa’s group cannot even hold a public meeting in the same Finland, where their leader languishes in prison. Yes, the self-styled “autopilot” was grounded for violent agitation a charge he has never denied.  

Let’s pause for a moment to appreciate the irony of Simon Ekpa’s predicament. Here is a man who styled himself as the Moses of Biafra, yet he managed to lead his followers straight into the Red Sea of global disgrace. Ekpa’s violent approach has alienated even his host country, Finland a nation that prides itself on granting asylum to the oppressed. His incarceration is a vivid reminder that while the world tolerates dissent, it has no patience for chaos masquerading as revolution.  

It’s almost laughable how Ekpa’s followers continue to drum support for a man who has single-handedly tarnished the image of Biafra. If Ekpa truly had the wisdom of leadership, would he not have mastered the delicate art of advancing a cause without turning it into a circus of violence? While IPOB seeks dialogue and diplomacy, Ekpa’s faction revels in destruction, leaving a trail of burnt markets and shattered lives.  

The Nigeria government’s attempts to discredit IPOB would be comical if they weren’t so tragic. From labeling the movement as terrorists to infiltrating it with agents provocateurs, the state has thrown every dirty trick in the book at IPOB. Yet, like a phoenix, IPOB rises each time, stronger and more focused.  

Their secret? Wisdom. IPOB has understood that the battle for Biafra is not just a physical one but a global war of narratives. While Simon Ekpa’s faction feeds the Nigerian government’s propaganda machine with images of chaos, IPOB counters with a message of peace, justice, and self-determination.  

In the end, the contrast between IPOB and Simon Ekpa’s faction boils down to discipline and vision. IPOB has proven that a struggle rooted in wisdom and non-violence can withstand even the fiercest storms. Simon Ekpa, on the other hand, serves as a cautionary tale for those who mistake chaos for revolution.  

Let it be known that while IPOB continues to win hearts and minds across the globe, Ekpa’s faction remains a footnote in the annals of failed agitators. Perhaps the greatest irony is that while Mazi Nnamdi Kanu remains unjustly detained, his vision has set IPOB free—free to operate, free to dream, and free to march toward the dawn of Biafra.  

As for Simon Ekpa and his violent band, they are free too—free to stew in the consequences of their actions, free to reflect on the wisdom of non-violence, and, of course, free to remain behind bars in Finland. Some freedom, after all, are self-inflicted.

Is The Finnish Government Involved In The Conspiracy Of Terrorism Ongoing In Biafraland

 Is The Finnish Government Involved In The Conspiracy Of Terrorism Ongoing In Biafraland 

The once peaceful Eastern Nigeria is now being systematically targeted to become a zone where tears fall like shadows on crumbling streets, where safety's promise is a hollow beat.

The government's hand, meant to shield and protect, now fuels the flames that our futures inspect. 

The Nigerian government extraordinary rendition’s dark deed against the leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, exposes the Western government's dual creed—justice in words, tyranny in deeds. 

The West where Finland belongs, has been the abode of a Nigerian government sponsored agent provocateur, whose acts of deceptions ever since the illegal rendition of Kanu to Nigeria took flesh, had become a cancer, attempting to erode the fabrics and prospects of the pacifist and self-determination agitation and campaigns championed by the IPOB movement, turning their legitimate grievances into sensationalized spectacle to the point that the line between genuine activism and manufactured mayhem is being blurred especially to passive/non conscious minds, leaving well-intentioned individuals vulnerable to exploitation. 

Simon Ekpa, as a Finnish resident underscores his amenable bound to the Finnish Constitutions and Laws. 

And is by law, has no immunity whatsoever from prosecution by the Finnish government, when a clear evident corroboration of his criminal and terror conduct exists in the public domains. He was arrested sometimes by the Finnish authorities in early 2023 on charges related to his terrorism in Eastern Nigeria but was subsequently discharged and his casefile suspended indefinitely. 

Raising a serious question about the involvement of the Finnish government in connivance with the Nigerian government to permit his reign and projection of terror from their soil. According to recent findings, trade turnout between Finland-Nigeria has skyrocketed since 2022, reaching a whopping of 47% in the past from an all-time low figure less than 10% in yester years. 

The Finland based agent provocateur had been said to be appointed by the IPOB leader, to join in broadcasting and awareness creation for Biafra freedom through the Radio Biafra London platform, after his tragic ordeal and extraordinary rendition from Kenya, but got laid off after he refused to cooperate with the required vetting and induction protocols instituted within IPOB and Radio Biafra. 

His criminal and sinister tendencies was spotted by the IPOB Leadership from the onset and as such fiercely resisted. He was never allowed near the IPOB Leadership, the radio Biafra platform or even the closest IPOB family in his country of residence, Finland. 

Nevertheless, he whom the IPOB leader intended to take in a brother's guiding hand, now wields a destructive brand of terror against the people whose struggle and interests serve as the locomotive lubricant fueling the Biafra agitation. No noble cause in sight, Only darkness, endless reign of destruction. A typical disposition and characteristic of an agent provocateur. 

Like Cain's dark legacy, he rose against his brothers, unprovoked.

He employed several techniques in other to sway his agenda into the very formidable IPOB movement, but failed miserably. 

He began to call for unprepared arms struggle which is contrary to the guided approach of the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB). His call and hit-and-run cowardly attacks on Nigeria military, police and other sister security formations in Biafraland only quadrupled their presence there, leaving the innocent citizens who are already being exploited for years by the aforementioned, to bear the brunt. 

The Biafra restoration movement fostered by the IPOB family, worldwide, is rooted in the discipline and principles of peaceful insistence on demanding for a United Nation supervised referendum for the Biafran people. 

Judging from the peaceful rallies, radio broadcasts and online engagements from the members of IPOB, demanding for their right to self-determination, on no account had they resorted to violence against the Nigerian State, nor its own people in the South East Nigeria having the fore understanding that one cannot kill and suppress the same people they’re fighting to defend. 

Having the testimonial and prognostic afflictions of the Fulani herders (Miyetti Allah), whose modus operandi has been to kill, maim, rape, abduct and destroy the hard-earned works of farmers in/across Nigeria especially in Biafraland, IPOB led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu launched a security outfit, Eastern Security Network (ESN) across the South East, tasked with protecting and repelling the marauding Fulani elements within its Bushes. 

Under the very directive of the IPOB leadership, they had stayed only and true to this primary assignment - within the bushes of the South East region, working vigorously as a vigilante group, in protection of their own people. 

Ekpa claimed to have taken control of ESN. But he had lied— all to derail the very essence of IPOB’s heroic efforts in the South East. 

IPOB had made it compendiously clear on several occasions through press statements that Mr. Ekpa does not belong to IPOB. He has no membership recognition in the IPOB organization, and as such has no right to speak on behalf of IPOB. His actions cannot be attributed to the IPOB movement. 

Its presence in over 150 countries of the world, IPOB is duly recognized and respected to be the representatives championing the Biafra struggle for self-determination. 

What whispered secrets corrupted the code of comprehension, to the effect that after the indictment of Mr. Ekpa by the Finnish Central Criminal Police for his numerous incitements and sponsorship of terrorism in Eastern Nigeria, was released and the case with-held since the February of 2023? Even Finnish investigative journalists came for a fact-finding mission to ascertain the truth about his destructive activities. They confirmed the authenticity of the crimes being committed from their soil 

A pregnant woman was murdered, and her innocent premature fetus poured on the floors, Laborers were chased from the places of work, students tortured and vehicles burnt under the very inhumane directive of Mr. Ekpa, carried out by his contracted hoodlums all in the name of enforcing a non-existent Sit-At-Home order. 

Videos has been uploaded and circulating on the internet, several petitions written, and rallies done in various forms to convey the message of grievances to the Finnish government, now led by @alexstubb, to invoke your criminal code of conducts on the person of Ekpa. 

The Nigerian government has paid deaf ears to cries of the people of the East, across streets and towns, why is the Finnish government harbouring a known criminal and a terrorist within their borders? 

This has come to the forefront of human understanding, that the Finnish government is complicit in the predicaments of the Eastern people, inflicted by Ekpa. They have been induced with juicy deals by the Nigerian state to turn a blind eye on the destruction in the South-East. Biafrans must come to this reality and collectively unite to combat this global conspiracy against us, and our region. Deflecting attention and false accusations will not solve any problem. Objective analysis and decisive actions is required. And all sincere hands must be on deck. A stitch in time saves nine.

DETAILS: Susie Wiles Cooperation With IPOB Through Mercury Firm Years Ago And Current Anticipations

DETAILS: Susie Wiles Cooperation With IPOB Through Mercury Firm Years Ago And Current Anticipations

It has been revealed that Mrs Susie Wiles, US president-elect Donald Trump's newly appointed Chief of Staff, worked with the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) movement in 2019 through her lobbying firm. This news comes on the heels of Trump's victory in the 2024 presidential election, where Wiles played a crucial role as his campaign manager. 

According to reports, Wiles' firm, Mercury Public Affairs, was hired by IPOB in 2019 to lobby the US Congress and State Department on promoting human rights and democracy in Nigeria. The contract, valued at $85,000 per month, aimed at influencing US foreign policy positively towards the Biafran cause for self-determination. Although the firm only disclosed $254,000 in payments to the US Department of Justice in 2020, the partnership underscores Wiles' involvement with IPOB especially in its concerted effort to earn popularity and support in the US government at the time. 

Wiles' experience in politics and diplomacy spans decades, having worked on Ronald Reagan's 1980 campaign and Donald Trump's 2016 and 2020 campaigns. Her appointment as Trump's Chief of Staff marks a historic milestone, as she will be the first woman to hold the position. 

Wiles' Lobbying Firm and IPOB 

•⁠  ⁠Mercury Public Affairs: Wiles co-chairs lobbying firm, has represented various clients, including tobacco company Swisher International and coal company Alliance Resource Partners. 

•⁠  ⁠IPOB Contract: The firm's engagement with IPOB began in October 2019, focusing on promoting human rights and democracy in Nigeria through the lobbying pressure to culminate intervention by US administration. 

•⁠  ⁠Payment Disclosure: Mercury Public Affairs disclosed $254,000 in payments to the US Department of Justice in 2020. 

Apparently, the wife of the currently incarcerated IPOB leader, Uchechi Okwu Kanu commented on the trending development on her official X platform (@Okwukkanu). 

“As a famous actor once said in a blockbuster movie, "What we do in life echoes in eternity." Only if they knew how far #IPOB had gone before the kidnapping of my husband. Noise making content creation and effective freedom fighting are not, and can never be the same. Those who did not know before now know. #IPOB is more than you can imagine.” 

Following Trump’s landslide election victory on November 5th 2024, the IPOB Directorate Of States (DOS) alongside other world leaders, reputable institutions sent their congratulatory message to the US President-elect . The statement applauded Mr. Trump for his resilient fighting spirit, which it described as "exemplary and worthy of emulation." 

The implications of Wiles' firm cooperation with IPOB was significant, even as it appears that the contract with the firm has gone into suspense in recent years. The Buhari's administration which was known for its draconian and brutal human rights abuses was kept on its toes by the impact of services of the Mercury firm until the succession of the democratic party in 2020. 

Nevertheless, with the recent Trump's victory and its potential impact. As Trump's Chief of Staff, Mrs Wiles could play a crucial role in shaping US policy in addressing the plethora of human rights abuses and attitudinal deviltry perpetrated by the Nigerian political class against citizens and self determination activists in Nigeria. 

Most importantly, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu the IPOB Leader whom was kidnapped, tortured and extraordinarily renditioned from Kenya in 2021 and has been incarcerated in Nigeria since then, against a number of consecutive court judgments ordering his unconditional release and adequate compensation for violation of his fundamental human rights.

Moreover, the innocent Pro-Biafra activists whom for celebrating Trump’s electoral victory back in January 2017 in a peaceful solidarity protest themed "Biafrans Solidarity for Trump", fell victim of Nigeria Security forces extrajudicial killings and abduction, many of them still illegally detained indefinitely in Nigeria without arraignment in court. 

These innocent young men are still hopeful that the new incoming Trump administration in which Wiles is the newly appointed Chief of Staff, would speak for them by prevailing on the Nigerian government to release them or charge them to prove their guilt for exercising constitutional rights to peaceful assembly which is also guaranteed by international law.

Continued Illegal Detention of Nnamdi Kanu, An act of Ethnic Bias----Kenneth Okonkwo

 Continued Illegal Detention of Nnamdi Kanu, An act of Ethnic Bias----Kenneth Okonkwo

Over the course of time, the continuous illegal detention of the IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, by the Nigerian authorities had plunged the South East region into a state of monumental chaos.

These chaos, evidently sponsored by the same government. 

A human rights lawyer, and Nigerian politician, Kenneth Okonkwo, decorously demonstrated his concern over the outlawed inhumane treatment being meted on the IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, pointing at his continued detention as an act of “ethnic bias”.

While speaking on Arise News, he emphasized on the state’s pardon on the popular Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Igboho, as well as the internationally outlawed terror group, Boko Haram members, whose ideology stands against the Western or a secular society. They had even been reconciled, resuscitated and  re-assimilated into the society, the Nigerian army and police, he said.

Stretching on the grounds of his release, he gave some recommended options on how Kanu could be released, sighting risks of Nigeria’s dilapidated reputation on the course of illegally detaining him.

The Nigerian government, after recognizing the plights of Kanu by 2015, had subjected him to the same fate of illegal detention. 

Kanu had faced unlawful trials and has endured several tortures from the Nigerian Secret Security Service (SSS).

The case of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has been referred to as a ‘political persecution’.

Kenneth Okonkwo recounted the fore long several court rulings that had ordered the unconditional release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

The appellate courts has ruled that all 15 baseless count charges against Kanu were quashed, Nnamdi Kanu discharged and acquitted. 

Nigerian government has violated its own laws, and disobeyed its own court orders, just to persecute Nnamdi Kanu.

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu had been sighted as a political prisoner and a “prisoner of conscience”, as the United Nations group on arbitrary detention had released statements in 2022, demanding his unconditional release.

He is undergoing persecution, not prosecution. 

And his popularity and heroic reputation grows taller, as each of his days languishes in the Nigerian DSS dungeon. 

Kenneth Okonkwo stated that the more Kanu is being detained illegally, the more he gains power and influence.

— Emeka Gift Official (@EmekaGift100) October 30, 2024

To the Old Easterners of Nigeria, Kanu is the hope of the common man. He represents the collective marginalized and oppressed Biafra people.

A British citizen, abandoned by the British government to languish in prison for committing no crime known to law.

His only crime is demanding for the self-determination of his people, which is contained in the United Nations’ Charter of Fundamental Human Rights.

International communities are obliged to intervene in the case of Kanu, and preserve the inalienable human rights to freedom and self-determination.

It is not a crime for one to determine his fate of nationhood, and the world must stand up to upholding this right.

As Martin Luther King says, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere”.

The rights of Kanu and all the persecuted Biafra people must be protected.

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's Detention And The Hardship In Nigeria

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu IPOB leader

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's Detention And The Hardship In Nigeria 

By Eluwa Chidiebere Chinazu | Biafra Writers

October 27, 2024

Before the illegal detention of the Biafran leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, on 27th June, 2021, many Nigerians harbored the belief that the Biafran leader was in all facets a great impediment to Nigeria's growth. Kanu was blamed for Nigeria's woes and hated by those who upheld and nurtured the faith of a workable Nigeria - a faith that many see as mirage through Kanu's brilliant expositions on Radio Biafra. 

Upon Kanu's arrest, Malam Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to the then President Buhari, accused Kanu of inflicting hardship on Nigerians. With this statement from Garba Shehu, Nigerians were in high spirits, hoping for the best since the bad egg is in detention. Unfortunately, they got the worst after arresting their supposed "Mr. Hardship" called Nnamdi Kanu.

From the religious view, Nigeria is currently nothing less than a curse. In comity of nations, Nigeria is a perfect example of a failed state. People no longer canvas for infrastructural developments, rather their main problem is food. 

To say that Nigeria is bereaved of success is not exaggeration. Nigeria lacks the gumption to salvage the economic meltdown that has befallen it. The depth of Nigeria's debt causes goose bumps to her citizens. Nigeria is already on her knees.

Hunger has really humbled Nigerians. The wise words of Nnamdi Kanu are rapidly coming to fruition. It was the devastated situation of Somalia that gave rise to the phrase "failed state" in 1991, now that there is a country worse than the then Somalia, what phrase do we coin from Nigeria deplorable situation.

Why IPOB/ESN Is Being Targeted By The Nigerian Army And Their Man-Proxy In Finland

 Why IPOB/ESN Is Being Targeted By The Nigerian Army And Their Man-Proxy In Finland

The hassle with which Nigerian Army and its cooperative conventional media(s) rush to pin on the Indigenous People Of Biafra movement and the Eastern Security Network, every crime perpetrated by Ekpa and his criminal elements in Southeast, even when Ekpa openly claims responsibility of these crimes via his official verified X handle, does not surprise any conscious fellow and we believe it should not surprise anyone either. Unless, one is ignorant of the game being played by the Nigerian government and its military. 

Over the past 3 years, Simon Ekpa have claimed to have attacked Nigerian military checkpoints in different occasions and locations across southeast and claimed responsibility of them on several intervals during his live broadcasts. 

But you know what? The Nigerian army and media have refused till date to attribute these crimes to him and his goons squarely. Instead they continued to pin them on IPOB/ESN. Irrespective of how IPOB and other independent, investigative sources on the ground such as reports from the human rights organizations , Intersociety group has evidently established that IPOB/ESN has no hands in the insecurity or attacks on the Nigeria military formations in the South-East. 

It is popularly said that to kill an innocent dog, it must be given a bad name to justify its slaughter. This is what both Ekpa and his Nigerian sponsors are doing. The Nigerian government have tried in so many ways to present IPOB as a violent movement before the international community but it has failed precipitously over and over again. 

They could not match IPOB versatility and outreach in the international community. IPOB has continued explain to the global audience with empirical evidence about her non violence status, approach and dispositions towards Biafra self-determination quest and goal. 

Before the Nigerian government arrives at any international office, country as the case maybe, to submit these blackmailing reports against IPOB or to induce benign officials there to mainstream their spurious narratives, IPOB would have already submitted a comprehensive unbiased report of the corrupt activities, crimes and lies of Nigerian government to these offices, and further poising them to go on to conduct their own investigations via their own assets on the ground, if any. 

Obviously, Nigeria have bribed and bought over few officials of some reputable international organizations to help them in their campaign of designating IPOB as a violent organization globally but it all ended up without any headway being made as their was no viable pretext or grounds for such, even under the laws of these respective countries or international law. 

We must recall the National Institute For Peace In USA, and Tony Blair Institute whom  passively highlighted or rather aimed at projecting IPOB as a violent movement in 2022 and this was inputed in the annual global terrorism index which the contributed to. This was the handiwork of the Nigerian government and of course certain elements within the US and United Kingdom governments. 

Though, they retracted their claims after they could not prove with concrete evidence that IPOB was guilty as charged, judging from their own biased reports. IPOB on the other hand threatened legal actions if they fail to recluse IPOB from the global terrorism list. 

They have tried everything and exhausted their plans to break the IPOB global family,  her finances, her illegal incarcerated Leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, or even lure the ESN tasked to confront Fulani terrorists in Biafraland into an unprepared war with the Nigerian armed forces, but to no avail. 

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has made a mess of the Nigerian government even in their own courts, the IPOB family survived the storm and is waxing strong globally. The ESN as seen and acknowledged by all and sundry – including those in the military circles – continues to enhance its tactical capabilities even amidst provocations to lure or distract them from their primary assignment of wading off Fulani terrorists from Biafra forests or bushes. 

So the only viable card left to hold on to, is by keeping the agent provocateur alive and kicking as he would serve as the odds to apparently keep IPOB on their toes and on the defensive, while he wrecks havoc that would compel the members of the Biafran public to develop animosity towards the Biafra struggle due to the criminality and violence it has seemingly brought on them. 

Besides, should IPOB succeed in achieving Biafra restoration sooner or later, there will always be a need for the imperialists or enemy close neighbors to sponsor a 'pseudo opposition', that would oppose the Biafra Republic and its eventual leadership. This is why Mr Ekpa is untouchable and even the Finnish Government who arrested him in early 2023 for serious crimes bordering fraud etc, all of a sudden stood down and his casefile was closed indefinitely till this moment. 

So anytime you see Nigerian Army making accusations in their press statement against IPOB/ESN, be assured that Ekpa and his goons have carried out another scripted operation to keep the propaganda and blackmail momentum level high and afloat. 

To set the record straight, this latest attack on soldiers in Mbanọ is a false flag operation to blackmail IPOB as usual. In as much as IPOB and the entire Igbo nation opposes the sinister plot of importing refugees from the north to the East. The violence in Ehime Mbanọ is a false flag operation to blackmail IPOB and to keep the insecurity in Imo state, spiking and escalating. IPOB did not claim responsibility for the burning of the site chosen to host these northern refugees nor the house of Senator Ibezim. Mr Ekpa did and he is not an IPOB member or of ESN. 

Had these structures not being torched. The result would still be the same, there would be no refugees camp in the South-East. The people in cooperation with IPOB would have made sure of it. And the ongoing ensuing violence, military bombardment and ransacking in Ehime Mbanọ would not be in the picture as has sadly obtained now. 

The ultimate aim is to set IPOB against the people or as being responsible for the violence just as obtained in the Aba 30th May Biafra Fallen heroes remembrance day incident. To breach the trust, adherence and listenership Biafrans have for the directives of the IPOB movement. Knowing fully well that they would not betray nor jeopardize their interests and overall well-being. 

Thus, we will continue to debunk and expose their lies, and educate our people to know and understand who is their enemies and how they operate to make our region unsafe for us and why their must be a concerted effort to resist and wade off their machinations against us as a people.

Vindictive Circus: The Untold Power Tussle Between Justice Binta Nyako And Chief Judge Tsoho

 Vindictive Circus: The Untold Power Tussle Between Justice Binta Nyako And Chief Judge Tsoho 

It is already public knowledge that after the willful recusal of justice Binta Nyako from the case of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu - the leader of IPOB on 24th September 2024 and subsequent revert of the casefile to the Chief Judge office, the Nigerian Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, John Terhemba Tsoho has reassigned the case to her office with the reason that too many judges has been recused from the case and Mrs Nyako has become the most 'experienced Judge' with regards to her familiarity and precedence over the case for a very long period of time. 

This is obviously a breach to the interest of both Mrs/Justice Nyako and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, who came to the final realization and understanding that their path and fate in the years-long legal altercation has come to conclusive or rather subjective end and both parties must move on, and let the other seek remedy and peace from some other sources. 

From all indications, it is safe to say that Mrs Nyako would be the most elated person on earth after the event turnout of September 24th 2024. The recusal plea of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was a mere formality to actualize her dream and aspirations to hands off the case that has placed her in a very dicey political tussle between a conflicting state actor vs semi-state actor. Where her career, family and their well-being were placed as factors of immense consideration while she discharged her "lady justice" duties. The corruption case of her son and husband became her Achilles' heel, as she is forced to do the bidding of the Federal government in return for their assured safety and protection from exposure and merciless prosecution. 

Nevertheless, this seemingly joyous momentous relief for Mrs Nyako was cut short, as the federal government through the medium of the Federal High Court Cheif Judge - her direct superior - returned the case file to her desk. The Federal government appears to have no other strategy to apply with the case of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the IPOB movement under his leadership other than to blackmail their way out. Sadly yet laughably so. 

Suffice to say, that there exists an internal rift between Mrs Nyako and Mr Tsoho which has also been ascertained of playing a significant role in this vindictiveness and insistence of the federal government against Mrs Nyako to continue manning, and stemming the tide in the case of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and the Nigerian government. 

The story goes way back from 2016 when Mr Tsoho was transferred from the Lagos Federal high Court division to the Abuja division. Family Writers Press International learnt. 

His transfer in Federal high Court field of the FCT, Abuja was designed by the former president, Muhammadu Buhari and its sole aim was to facilitate the speedy conviction of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu whom had been arrested in Lagos the previous year (2015) and whom had been subsequently cleared of any guilt and discharged by Justice Ademola, a resolution the Nigerian state secret police, Department of States Services, at the behest of executive orders from the president refused to comply with. 

Our source revealed that Justice Tsoho in exchange for his emergency uprooting from his juicy position in Lagos, where he enjoyed in luxury vied and struck a deal with the Attorney General of the Buhari's administration, Abubuakar Malami for the position of the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court Abuja as a compensation for the tedious task in question - to ensure Nnamdi Kanu is officially and legally put behind bars. And this was irrespective of his lower ranking to his superior, Mrs Nyako who was already in the bench and expectedly was to become the next Chief Judge of the Federal High Court. 

Mrs Binta Nyako reportedly protested against the move as that was against protocol, yet to no avail. Coupled with the fact her promotion to the Supreme Court of appeal has been withheld a number of times. In addition, with regards to the corruption case of her husband and son, her possible transfer to her home state - Adamawa State - to become the state Chief Judge was foiled and resisted with a plethora of signed petitions. 

Eventually, after the death of Justice Kafarati who was responsible for the proscription and outlawing of IPOB in Nigeria and gave the Nigeria military the leverage to move on with their extrajudicial crackdown against unarmed civilians and agitators of the IPOB movement. John Tsoho was elevated to become Chief Judge of the Federal High Court against the very orderly protocol set by the Nigerian judiciary system which would have rightfully placed Binta Nyako at the successor's position.

This bitterness and vindictiveness against Mrs Nyako by the powers that be, turned her into a mere vassal or rather an unconscious lackey. This explains why she honorably concurred with the recusal request of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and why the case was immediately reverted back to her. 

Justice Binta Nyako is not only being blackmailed by the Nigerian government with the unruly records of her family members but has also become a hostage in the hands of the state. The swift reversion of the case to her desk can be deduced to be a subtle threat behind the scene by the government to compel her to fall in line or face further consequences. 

This also explains why since after September 24th 2024, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has been kept out of reach from the outside world including his legal representatives. The government is doing everything possible to inflict punishment for the embarrassment which they received as a result of the events of that day. 

It must be stated that not only has Mrs Nyako's family been marked for total destruction, but also her career has been set up a sacrificial lamb for the case of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Whether the federal government succeeds or not does not really matter. An expendable has been selected to take the fall and all attempts made by the selected to save themselves will be fiercely resisted. 

How the case will go from here is left to be seen. What we do know is that the IPOB movement has declined interest and confidence in the Nigerian judiciary system and events like this are self-evident enough to explain why such position is needed. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will not get justice from a judiciary manipulated at will and seamlessly by the federal government and the manipulating signatures can be brazenly seen. The Biafra case for self-determination including the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will be resolved via a political solution. This is a reality all and sundry must get acquainted with.
