Global Conspiracy Against Biafra: Misinformation, False Narrative Against IPOB’s Peaceful Self-Determination Quest

Global Conspiracy Against Biafra:  Misinformation, False Narrative Against IPOB’s Peaceful Self-Determination Quest 

It is already far established that there has been a global conspiracy against Biafra’s quest for self-determination. Today, some western media platforms, namely Reuters and Jerusalem Post published a false, bogus report concerning the South-East, IPOB, Biafra and the Sit-at-home orders, observations and its impacts. 

The alleged investigative report in question was conducted by a shadowy "private” intelligence consultancy firm, SBM Intelligence, which in all candor has deep ties with the Nigerian government, military and most definitely, its State Secret Services – DSS. 

It is no coincidence that this report was made public just four days to the highly anticipated Biafra Heroes Day, May 30th, 2025, a day which has been designated in honor of victims of the genocidal Biafra war of 1967-70. Amidst verbal counteraction remarks between the IPOB movement and the Chief of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) Nuhu Ribadu, over the status of forthcoming Biafra commemoration day and how the people of the Biafra region reckons with it. 

There is no doubt that order for a voluntary sit-at-home observed was issued by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB)movement, and as has been evidently proven in the past unenforced, before the era when trojan horse operations to discredit the legitimate quest for Biafra self-determination, its suppressed image and that of the IPOB movement. This era was after the kidnap and extraordinary rendition of the IPOB leader by the Nigerian government.

The 30th May Biafra anniversary as initiated by the IPOB movement since 2014, was always peaceful as citizens would either hold non-violent processions and memorial events on such day, however security forces would move in for mass crackdowns and killings. For instance in 2016, the Nigerian military and police carried out series of brutal massacre of the Indigenous People of Biafra protesters across the East, an extrajudicial execution spree led by the Nigerian army, in which over 150 peaceful pro-Biafra protesters, carrying only placards and flags to raise awareness of the ongoing marginalization of their rights and freedoms, were massacred. 

Additionally, more than 28 people were killed in an attack on Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s ancestral home, where he hosted numerous visitors and supporters. Family members perished in this extrajudicial attack. 

Infact, the sit-at-home order was the latest improvised strategy by the IPOB movement to minimize crackdowns casualties during such days and events.

Yet, SBM Intelligence produced no reports detailing this daylight massacre of innocent civilians in the East. Despite being founded in 2013, a year after IPOB’s establishment, SBM Intelligence appeared to lack the “intelligence” to expose the unlawful massacre of indigenous peoples across the East by federal security agencies, for committing no crime known to law.

In this report as acknowledged by Reuters and the Jerusalem Post, confirmed that the IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu had already canceled the sit-at-home order, initially drawn up as a protest against his continued unlawful detention and rendition. The report acknowledged that IPOB lifted the sit-at-home order in 2021 shortly after its commencement. Why, then, does the media falsely claim that the alleged 600 deaths since 2021, are a result of IPOB’s sit-at-home orders? 

The gross contradiction in the reports of SBM Intelligence and collaborative media like Reuters, the Jerusalem Post, and probable other western media platforms are evidently dubious and reeks of journalistic unprofessionalism. It is like turning off the journalism purview and instincts of cross referencing every piece and fact pertaining a story or could it be that these media platforms failed to thoroughly study the SBM report and went on to publish them with its brazen contradictive flaws? 

The SBM report failed to acknowledge that IPOB has consistently stated it has never enforced sit-at-home orders and that compliance has always been voluntary. However, it aimed at linking the Eastern Security Network (ESN)– the vigilante wing set up by IPOB to solely confront the Fulani killer herdsmen in the Eastern region – of alleged sit-at-home enforcements. Meanwhile, the SBM report acknowledged that the ESN as publicly stated by IPOB was established solely to halt terrorist incursions in the East and protect lives and property in the region. 

IPOB and the ESN are innocent of these allegations propagated by Nigeria’s kakistocratic government, whose legacy is marked by violations of fundamental human rights, extrajudicial killings of indigenous peoples, and conspiracy of ethnic cleansing carried out by Islamic terror groups from the Sahel and these acts are encouraged by complacency and dubious positions of the West and its media platforms. 

IPOB has consistently distanced itself from the sit-at-home enforcements/enforcers and asserted that it is the Nigerian government sponsoring the violent enforcements to blackmail the IPOB movement and the ESN. 

Suffice to say, that none of the western mainstream media houses who are now taking swipe at the IPOB movement, right from the Nigerian government's playbook cared to come down to the South-East to conduct an on-site independent investigation to corroborate or debunk the claims of the IPOB movement, but are buying and spreading a well packaged government propaganda against the victimized and oppressed. 

IPOB is a peaceful self-determination seeking organization grounded in the principles of human dignity and the rights of indigenous peoples to choose their preferred religious, cultural, political, and economic governance. And, most importantly it has no faction whatsoever. 

And, obviously this report by SBM Intelligence is nothing but desperate attempts by the Nigerian NIA director and his ilks, to discredit and defame the forthcoming Biafra heroes commemoration and anniversary, because the violent sit-at-home enforcements in the South-East has so far died down since last year when its chief architect in Finland was apprehended by Finnish authorities for his terrorism against South-East residents.

Sadly, the only people buying and even marketing these state-sponsored preposterous narratives are those readily parade themselves as reputable, credible and the global go-to source for information. However, the truth shall prevail and be made known regardless of how deep the conspiracy to suppress it runs.

SBM Intelligence, Reuters And Nuhu Ribadu’s Hatchet Job Against IPOB: A Failed Propaganda War

SBM Intelligence, Reuters And Nuhu Ribadu’s Hatchet Job Against IPOB: A Failed Propaganda War

 

IPOB PRESS STATEMENT

DATE 26th MAY 2025

 

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the supreme leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu categorically and unequivocally condemns in the strongest terms possible the latest hatchet job disguised as a “report” released by a faceless, compromised, and government-sponsored propaganda arm called SBM Intelligence, and amplified by the neo-colonial media outfit, Reuters, all under the shameful direction of Nigeria’s National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu.

 

This laughable fabrication alleges that IPOB’s Sit-at-Home actions resulted in 776 deaths and trillions in economic losses. This is not just a lie—it is a desperate concoction by a drowning regime grasping at straws. SBM Intelligence is neither credible nor neutral; it is a mercenary outfit created to launder the image of failed regimes and discredit voices demanding justice and self-determination. Their so-called reports are fit only for the trash can of history, not the pages of reputable journalism.

 

We challenge SBM Intelligence, Reuters, and Nuhu Ribadu: if you possess an ounce of evidence linking IPOB to these baseless allegations, take it to court. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is in detention and ready to confront these lies with unassailable truth. Instead of sponsoring international smear campaigns, why not test your fantasy before a judge?

 

Let it be known and recorded that IPOB officially canceled Monday Sit-at-Home in 2021, and our leader publicly disowned any individual or group enforcing such orders. Therefore, any attack attributed to a “Sit-at-Home” cannot be logically or factually linked to IPOB. This makes the SBM/Reuters report not only false but criminally deceptive.

 

The timing of this publication is no coincidence. As 30th May Biafra Heroes Day approaches—a sacred day for Biafrans to honour our martyrs—this corrupt regime, through its rented outlets, seeks to deflect attention from its failures and sabotage our remembrance. This is the same Nigeria that could not stop genocidal attacks from Taraba to Zamfara but is fixated on demonizing IPOB, a peaceful movement seeking justice and freedom.

 

We are not ignorant of history. When Biafra stood alone against the might of the global powers—Communist East, Capitalist West, and Islamic Jihadists from Egypt and across the Arab world—we survived because our cause is righteous and ordained by God. This propaganda blitz is but a whimper compared to the bombs of the 1967–70 genocide. It shall fail too.

 

Let Reuters know that by allowing itself to be used by Nuhu Ribadu and his gang of discredited Abuja plotters, it has traded its journalistic integrity for blood money. Let SBM Intelligence know they will forever remain irrelevant outside the corridors of Nigerian state-sponsored deceit. Let the Nigerian government know this: No amount of lies, no amount of sponsored reports, no amount of colonial echo chambers will stop the march of Biafra.

 

On 30th May, the world will see a region stand still in honour of our fallen heroes. We are undeterred, unshaken, and unstoppable. Our allegiance is to the truth, and the truth is that Biafra must come.

 

COMRADE EMMA POWERFUL MEDIA AND PUBLICITY SECRETARY FOR IPOB.

Deflating The Lies, Misinformation Of David Hundeyin At 'African Stream'

Deflating The Lies, Misinformation Of David Hundeyin At 'African Stream'

It is a common tactic for beneficiaries of corrupt systems to fiercely defend its flawed constructs. Mr. David Hundeyin, has again commenced his sly but subtly antics to twist narratives. This time he has extended his misinformation gimmicks and may have deceptively convinced some Pan-Africanist online media outlets like the  "African Stream" to spread and purvey these false narratives and propaganda. 

Thus, it is critical to correct the false impressions being spread by Mr. Hundeyin or even the African Stream about the Biafra quest for self-determination, the IPOB movement and its leader spearheading it and their motives. 

First, Biafra does not represent a Zionist ideology. It was an ideology borne out of necessity for survival following acts of ethnically inspired mass extermination. Suffice to say, that over 75% of Biafrans, and more extensively the entire Southern Nigeria are Christians, forming the majority of the population. 

The Biafran ideology is not a recent phenomenon. Biafra existed for nearly three years (1967-70), before it was brutally starved into submission by the Nigerian federal government in early 1970.  And, it is on historical record that many nations including the United Kingdom, Israel, USSR, USA, some Sahel and Arab countries etc had in one way or another, overt or covert, participated in the political and interests-based conspiracy against Biafra. So, there was no religious motive behind the Biafra ideology from its rootstock, just survival and the collective of a deserted and abandoned people to thrive. 

Sadly, the question which the "African Stream" and their source, Mr. Hundeyin, failed or refused to address in the view of the global African audience was what sparked the Biafran quest for independence in the first instance or what spurred it roughly 50 years later, instead they choose to deceptively write off as "Zionist agenda" as it is more convenient to do and also to hinder people especially people of the global South to take historical lessons or research on what prompted the Nigeria-Biafra debacle which has endured till date. 

That detailed answer which they, consciously have failed to provide is what we shall painstakingly do in this piece. 

Now, Biafra’s pursuit for freedom and sovereignty from British-amalgamated Nigeria, emerged as the Nigeria state from inception in 1914 to post-independence thrived on the subjugation, marginalization, and exploitation of the people of the Eastern region which would later became Biafra, the height of it was the massacre, pogroms of 1966 which led to the inevitable declaration of Biafra, a year later after talks and diplomatic efforts salvage the situation failed.

The unlawful, vindictive massacre of innocent citizens from the East across the north and western region of Nigeria, the extrajudicial execution of their citizens who served diligently in the Nigerian army anchored on the fabricated narrative surrounding the first coup on January 1966 as an ethnically motivated coup, were all catalysts which led to the secession of the Republic of Biafra. 

Suffice to say, that the anniversary to honor the birth of Biafra happens to be in this month of May, on the 30th which was the actual date when the former military governor of the eastern region, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu declared independence after receiving unanimous mandate from the Eastern consultative assembly which hosted all the ethnic groups of the eastern region on 27th May 1967.

That declaration would later lead to what became the Biafra genocide, as the Nigeria government alongside its allies were not far behind the Biafrans, whom were in the most unmistakable terms, forced to leave in the first place. 

Thus, the Biafra Heroes day, is vital day designated to reflect on those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom—those who were killed, butchered, and starved into submission. 

Now, to contemporary times. The resurgence of the quest for Biafra self-determination and advent of pro-independence movement, like the Indigenous People of Biafra(IPOB), all boiled down to the historical injustices of how the Biafrans were treated, the promises of acceptance upon surrender which were never kept and the marginalization which followed for decades. That gave birth to the recent agitation for Biafra as quite rightly noted by Mr. Hundeyin. 

Secondly, Mr. Hundeyin acknowledged that there has been religious motivated violence against communities in the north and middlebelt, but he failed to reveal those behind this religious violence. He also failed to say that the Fulani herdsmen and other terrorist groups such as the Boko Haram has the backings from the Nigerian security and political apparatus itself, evidence of these are bound. There are ex-military, senior staffs, servicemen coming forward to give account of collusion and deep polarization of Nigeria security architecture. 

Thankfully, the security challenges posed by either ethnic or Islamic extremists or even both, is not a problem confined to Nigeria alone. It is a regional broader security challenges across the West African region particularly in the Sahel region, and the Sahelians especially the indigenous peoples in the AES are in a better position to corroborate or even independently tell the global African audience if there is an ethnic jihad interchangeably masqueraded as a religious one against indigenous populations across west Africa. 

Thirdly, the political ideology for Biafra under the IPOB movement is a peaceful one and has stayed so since inception, notwithstanding heavy extrajudicial crackdowns by the Nigerian state, acknowledged even by the most biased and prejudicial human rights institutions such as Amnesty International. 

The IPOB leader was arrested in 2015 for professing his rights to political self-determination and asking for a UN supervised referendum, he was detained for 2 years and granted bail, until he was designated for assassination by the Nigerian military, a plot which failed but over 28 innocent civilians were killed, luckily for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, he escaped into exile. 

However, four years later the Nigerian government broke all known local and international laws to not only kidnap him, but to extraordinarily rendition to Nigeria from Kenya. An act that has attracted so much local and international condemnation. Mr. David Hundeyin won’t speak about that because it won’t favoure his lies. 

Nnamdi Kanu has been on trial and on many occasions either his release or his innocence has been ordered by the Nigerian judiciary itself, but the federal government has proven adamant to these rulings by competent courts and continue to incarcerate him. 

Mr Hundeyin failed to acknowledge these but instead choose to blindside the African audience with an insidiously clipped off an audio broadcast of the IPOB leader, made specifically to the Nigerian youths whom were being hunted and killed by their own police and military during the EndSARS protests, something relative to the Arab spring or even the most recent #RejectFinancialBill mass protests in Kenya. 

The intervention of global bodies or influential nations in times of crisis especially on humanitarian grounds maybe a downside but in some cases are necessary. If not, Mr. Hundeyin would not have participated in the research team which its findings allegedly led to the designation of Nigeria "as a country of particular concern" by the United States during president Trump first administration, a clause that only be invoked when there is an evident sign of religious repression. And, as all may recall were promising results though they were short-lived.

Nevertheless, while the outspoken or lobby activities of Mr Michael Rubin and his AEI institute are acceptable and applaudable especially on humanitarian grounds about the vices being faced by Christians in Nigeria either in the north, south or middlebelt, there is no political connection or corroboration of his stance about Biafra self-determination with the IPOB movement, let alone connecting him and Mr. Simon Ekpa whom has been certified of being a Nigerian state sponsored agent provocateur sent to bring chaos and poison the genuine quest for Biafra self-determination, to IPOB.  And as per the laws of Finland, he Simon Ekpa is being prosecuted for his crimes against the people of Eastern Nigeria. 

Make no mistakes, Mr. Simon Ekpa is no lieutenant of the IPOB leader, as Mr. Hundeyin claimed. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu though a revolutionary, is no violent criminal who have ordered or condoned any attack on innocent civilians. If not, he would have been convicted over his 10 years of legal tussle in the Nigerian judiciary facing of the federal government on alleged charges of treason and terrorism.

Mr. Hundeyin and the African/global audience who may have listened to his story and poised to believe it, should be advised that the resources in Nigeria, which Mr. Hundeyin dearly emphasizes upon, is in no other exploitative hands other than the United States and its allies consisting of the collective West. The resources of Nigeria which is the commonwealth of the people has never been used in favour of its rightful owners and that is particularly the Nigerian population squeaks in abject poverty and penury. 

And, that is also what the quest for Biafra self-determination is determined to change: A sovereignty to guarantee that the resources and potentials, human and mineral, within its soil and borders will be used for the socioeconomic advancements and development of its people. 

How Biafra or her people wishes to utilize these resources or who they conduct business with it, be it from the East, West, North or South is strictly her business as long as her national interests are not jeopardized, and extensively as long as her eternal commitments to true Pan-Africanisn, which has been demonstrated beyond doubts, are not compromised.

Biafra: Every Wisdom Is Measured By Time

By Chika Austine

May 19, 2025

At my most younger age, I learnt not to be argumentative or rigid to some issues until TIME does its own assessment and judgement. It doesn't matter the eloquency at which an issue is raised, remove the literary beautification of words, if one patiently wait upon TIME, one will get the true X-ray result of content and not the rhythmatic sounds of every idea.

ALLOY EJIMAKOR MULTIPLE SABOTAGE OF BIAFRAN STRUGGLE 

For those of us who don't understand the seriousness of the self determination journey we collectively and voluntarily subscribed, it hard time you wake up to reality and pause the illusionary clogs that undermines ability to reason. Governments all over the world does implanting within the circle of their targets. 

For instance, during Donald Trump first tenure campaign, his team was compromised by those who wanted to stop him at all cost. The USA government of then, successfully planted infiltrators within the circuit just to stop him at all cost. The infiltrators were dictated not by act of "spiritual revelations" as most of us see life but by analytical dissection of human behaviours. 

Barrister Alloy Ejimakor have proven by act, that he is strategically positioned to send MNK to jail! My submission is based by analyses of his deeds which I will itemize below. For those of us who have hold on to self deception of destructive optimism in the face of obvious danger, reality will soon force you into wearing your thinking cap. The USA government said recently over Russian-Ukrainian conflict, that they are facing issues on the conflict from "realistic views" against the illusionary views that the past regime did that put both USA, continental Europe and Ukraine into mess of today.

Like the aforementioned blocs, we are into mess courtesy of Alloy's inside games. I don't want to talk more on the wrong interpretation of international laws and international politics to MNK by same Alloy. Alloy leveraging on "international law" which a kindergarten knows that there is absolutely no law when state actor is after their targets. For instance in 2nd Oct 2018, a Saudi Arabian dissident journalist (Jamal Ahmad Hamza Khashoggi) was assassinated in Saudi consulate in Istanbul Turkey and his body disembarked.

Jamal Ahmad Hamza Khashoggi travel to Turkey was within the circuit of international laws to seek for his passport renewal. But what he didn't take into cognizance was the fact that international laws only exists when major actors are not in the shadow. Sadly, Jamal Ahmad Hamza Khashoggi was gruesomely murdered, the hypocritical world raised her non lasting voice and later moved on. America today, is sealing billions of dollars 💸 deals with same Saudi Arabia and her crown Prince who murdered Jamal Ahmad Hamza Khashoggi. 

The saddest thing over Jamal Ahmad Hamza Khashoggi death was that his trip to Turkey was shared to Saudi intelligence agency by same those around him. Both Saudi and some Turkey security agents did the dirty deal. Anyways, Jamal Ahmad Hamza Khashoggi ought to have served for the world to learn the difference between international law(less) and international politics. The weak holds on the former while the wise holds on the later.

Alloy overhyped on international law and made MNK believed the law is repellant to politics. Anyways, the one advised have no blame because when one attains a certain social circle which comes with high social responsibilities, he must rely on "advise of experts" in certain issues. The quagmire here is that the wrong "expert" was listened to and that got us all in Nigeria. 

POST MNK KIDNAPPING AND ALLOY'S EFFORTS TO DESTROY IPOB

If you don’t want harsh assessment from history, you must not be unguarded in your arts and act. Historical records have no business with ones ego smoothing or egocentricism. Alloy worked extensively to destroy IPOB by encouraging parallel grouping and rebellion against the leadership. This is after it was obvious to him that the DOS wasn't ready to allow him dictate everything to the struggle unde the auspices of "MNK said" this and that.

He encouraged Simon Ekpa's attacks on the leadership, encouraged MNK siblings to consistently wage war against the leadership, even encouraging them to open parallel Radio which is comatose till date. Alloy was so dangerous that he was in day to day interfaces between Simon Ekpa and the politicians. He did PR for him and urged him to undermine everything that IPOB stands for. While he was encouraging these conspiracies, he internally worked with the DSS to stop legal team joint briefing of MNK just to create space for himself to not just misinformed MNK, but to set him in collision with anything that will see for his freedom. 

For instance, on 26th February 2024, IPOB having viciously defeated the Nigerian state legally, was waiting to receive MNK, suddenly the disgraced Nigerian state went into extra-judicial rioting against the decision of the Appeal Court Judgment. IPOB on the other hand, made it strong that in the court pronouncement she stands. Series of press releases were made on the above stated dates. The former legal team in tandem with the leadership, insisted on court of appeal judgment. 

It was at that moment Alloy advised otherwise, instigated MNK family members to start blackmailing against the leadership and the former legal team. They were outrightly asked to disengaged and Alloy pushed for continuation of the unnecessary trial. When you ask Alloy why continuation of the trial, his argument is always that justice will be served. From expecting that from Justice Binta Nyako which never happened until MNK radical reaction rescued the compromised judge and saved the situation. Alloy was just running from piller to pole until one act of MNK forced the judge away. 

Having seen that the public tends to catch up with his antics, he technically vacated the special counsel seat for Agabi SAN who are trying their best to mend the messed up and complex matter. Today, same Alloy who extensively fought the leadership stand on discontinuation and no trial position, he asking the case to be discontinued. Is Alloy admitting that those who saw the future to which his sinister moves could not decipher, are right now? 

The untold truth is that Alloy wants to set confusion amongst the legal team again as he did during the previous legal team. After misinforming the public over the "denied access to Agabi" which SAN Agabi publicly refuted, it seems he wants to pitch a soft war with the new team. Is Alloy's sudden new view in agreement with his colleagues? Why asking for discontinuation after fighting same position by the DOS and former legal team? Why is the man who refused to pause on IPOB "prescription" case and that of MNK, pushing for same thing he was advised to do earlier. 

Alloy and his co-travellers are fully aware of what they are doing. Alloy want to be seen as Saint in a mess he has made. That can only be possible is all historians are dead! Alloy shares 100% responsibility on anything that comes out of MNK and IPOB ordeals.

Nnamdi Kanu: Why Attempts To Frustrate Biafra Agitation Through The Nigeria Judiciary Will Fail

Nnamdi Kanu: Why Attempts To Frustrate Biafra Agitation Through The Nigeria Judiciary Will Fail 

Offer Princewill Akubunma | Biafra Writers

March 13, 2025

The Nigeria justice system is one characterized with a history of condoning and enabling unjudicious, criminal activities which includes gross human rights abuses, corruption, inefficiency, political interference, lack of access to legal representation etc . These factors contributed immensely to the nosedive of its reputation turning it into a laughing stock amongst the justice systems across the globe, rightfully so. 

Looking at the above mentioned anomalies in the system, the human rights abuses and witchhunting against supposedly citizens, from a certain region of the country, in this case the SouthEast region is responsible for the devastating reputational loses bedeviling the justice system in particular and the Nigerian state in the arena of international relations. 

Cases which has no legal implications and punishment under local or international law,  instead has political undertones which requires a pragmatic political solution and as such, should just be simply concluded and disposed of, is usually delayed by unnecessary adjournments after another using the mechanism of the pliable Nigerian judiciary system. 

For instance, the case of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu should have been concluded since October 2017 when his court case was fixed and designated for final resolution, unfortunately the Nigerian government encouraged by its judiciary ambushed the rule and dictates of the law and due process, to illegally proscribe the IPOB movement and swiftly moved to assassinate the IPOB leader, though thanks to the stars, he survived but was forced to flee in order to save his life. Sadly, that unprecedented adventure brutally claimed the lives of 28 innocent, unarmed civilians and many more unaccounted for till date.

Fast forward to this day, whereby the case is still rendered inconclusive and rotated amongst judges by the Nigerian judiciary at the behest of the Federal government in order to frustrate the delivery of justice. Recently, the Cheif Justice of the Federation, Justice Ekun, was reported to have assigned the case to a new judge after the last one was recused for biased and prejudicial dispositions. This sums it up to three consecutive judges within the space of 9 years that could not conclude the case and deliver a sound, conclusive judgement. 

This also goes to buttress the fact that the quest for Biafra self-determination which Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and the IPOB movement he leads clamor for is a legitimate one and as such cannot be armtwisted or upturned using the Nigerian judiciary, thus the tactics of delay in a bid to frustrate the agitation into submission is applied by the federal government in cahoot with the pliable judiciary. 

It is imperative to recount that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, whom is known for his profound outspokeness against the marginalization meted on the Easterners by the rest of the country was arrested in October of 2015 in Lagos Nigeria for his political activism, was charged of treason, and subsequently detained in Kuje maximum detention facility, Abuja until he was released on bail under the most stringent conditions known to man in April of 2017. 

Shortly after the attack on his home occurred and he was forced to England where he resides as a full-fledged citizen of the United Kingdom.

However, the federal government with impunity and disregard for international law and due process, to kidnap and extraordinarily rendition him from Kenya where he temporarily traveled for business, health related reasons. The enablers of this egregious act against international law were the federal government of Nigeria, its secret police, the British intelligence with the blessings of top elements in the political and security architecture of the Kenyan government.

Against international laws of cross border arrest and arbitrary rules, he was tortured, blind folded like a common criminal, and renditioned to Nigeria where he was immediately and solitairily confined at the Nigerian secret police (DSS) headquarters in Abuja till this moment.

It is also worth noting that the Supreme Court of Appeal on October 13th, 2022 deservedly ruled that the means through which Mr Kanu was brought to stand trial was illegal and indefensible under law, hence ordering his unconditional release and compensation for gross violations of his fundamental human rights. 

However, the federal government disregarded the court resolution, and in their cunning, deceptive way, went on to manipulate the judiciary into illegally staying an execution of a court ruling even before the adhering to its stipulations. And, reports have emerged that the judges whom delivered the judgement of 13th October 2022, have been subtly punished one way or another. 

This also demonstrates that the judges are under immense duress, and pressure from the federal government to cave and fall in line with their own agenda against the dictates of the rule of law and the constitution or else get punished. This explains the dubious nature of the judges who have handled the case of the IPOB leader so far.

Let it be known, that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu a prisoner of conscience, has no case to answer as far as the Nigerian and international laws is concerned. The federal government having realized that his quest for Biafra self-determination are legitimate and cannot be subdued under the clause of treasonable felony have willfully withdrew these treasonable felony charges and replaced them with terrorism related one. 

But, the truth remains that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is a leader of the IPOB movement, which in essence and deed is a non-violent freedom fighting movement seeking Biafra self-determination through a United Nations supervised referendum not through arms struggle. 

Thus, the terrorism charges will not hold sway or upturn the rule and dictates of the law.  As far as the law is concerned Nnamdi Kanu's detention which has overtime turned incarceration is illegal. And, the quest for Biafra self-determination will and can only be solved through a well detailed and pragmatic political means not persecution, extrajudicial highhandeness, forceful disappearances, deceptions and manipulations.

No Victor No Vanquish! A Deceptive Mantra With Sinister Intentions Against Ndigbo

No Victor No Vanquish! A Deceptive Mantra With Sinister Intentions Against Ndigbo 

By Offor Princewill Akubumma | Biafra Writers

March 6, 2025

Shortly after the civil war which ended in January 1970, in order 

to continue to hold Ndigbo down as slaves in perpetuity, in an oppressive Nigeria state, these words was created by the British overlords who actually instigated the war in the first place - a genocidal war which came as a gross consequence of a conspiracy theory that saw a coup, carried out by young military officers from all parts of the country, erroneously tagged as an IGBO COUP, when in the rightful sense, and in every sense of honesty, should be rightfully called AWOLOWO COUP! 

As we all have known before now from popular accounts of many spectators and active players of that generation, and have more convincingly been confirmed by the Ibrahim Babangida in his new book, that the coup de'tat aim was to install Awolowo as the prime minister of Nigeria. 

Every human with the right set of thinking faculty would immediately, without being told believe or zero in, that Obafemi Awolowo who was in prison at the time was and must have been be in the know of the plot. Yet, after the coup was quelled evidently by unbeknownst set of Igbo officers, he, Awolowo made 180° turn, joined the British propagandists, BBC to and call it IGBO COUP. Inciting the ethnic hatred and euphoria which resulted to the mass pogroms of mid-late 1966 claiming thousands of Igbo lives, amongst others from Eastern Nigeria. 

The coup was almost headed and championed by young Igbo military officers who put their lives on the line, just to see that Awolowo, a Yoruba man becomes the prime minister. Yet, Awolowo and his Yoruba brethren eventually conspired with the north and British to bring war, death, famine and carnage to Igboland in particular and Biafra in general during the 30 months of theBiafra genocidal war. 

Apparently, it became evident that his  political interest which was scuttled as a result of the coup failure, was improvised for its survival and advancement to condone the gross massacre of Igbo officers after the successful July 1996 coutercoup. Including civilians were slaughtered like chickens across Nigeria's northern and western states. 

He earned himself ajuicy and decisive position during the war in Gowon's administrative cabinet. And, as if that was not enough, he introduced the HUNGER POLICY with the slogan of "All is far in war" to ensure that the struggling nascent Biafrans were exterminated not only by the destructive British, Soviet-backed war machine but also by the excruciating burrow of hunger and starvation.

Ndigbo were forced to pay a prize for crimes we did not commit, we were hunted down in the streets of Kaduna and Kano, Ibadan and Lagos, we were annihilated, decimated and killed in droves, a pogrom was committed against us, we were made the scape goat, and made to suffer alone, for offense committed by others for the benefit of others, while the real culprits were exonerated and were celebrated as saints, and were given higher offices and appointments in the country's seat of power, even up until this day. 

It is worth noting that pre-January 1966 coup era, the western region under the premiership of Lakinde Akintola was under severe turmoil as a result of the power tussle between his government and Awolowo who was imprisoned three years earlier. 

Because of the treachrous act of Awolowo, Ndigbo have been made to suffer and endured what other ethnic groups in Nigeria cannot withstand even after the war till date. We have been betrayed by those whom we took as our most trusted friends and assumed allies, we have been stabbed in the back by our most closest neighbors, yet, through all thick and thin, we kept trying to make this country a home for everyone, but the more we try, the more we are marginalized and discriminated against, and the more we were excluded from the scheme of things in all political corridors of the nation's governance. 

Ndi Igbo against whom these injustices had been meted upon, have been trying to move on, but the so called fellow compatriots who should have make confessions, tender an unreserved apology and make restitution where and when necessary, are still busy spreading propaganda against same people, victims of genocide, who were and are always at the receiving end of all the injustices in the country. 

Till this day, Nigerians are still being made to believe that it was Ojukwu that caused the civil war of 1967, when in fact, it was Ojukwu who tried all he could to prevent it from happening and it was Gowon who reneged on the Aburi Accord agreements. 

It was when the killings, massacre became unbearable and the Gowon's government failed to prevail on the rampaging northern mob, that our eternal leader, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, the then military governor of the eastern region, in collaboration with the elders under the Eastern consultative assembly, leaders of think tank, unanimously voted for a separate state in order to save our race from extinction and extermination. And, Ojukwu reluctantly capitulated to their demands and declared Biafra on 30th May 1967. 

Meanwhile, the NO VICTOR NO VANQUISHED mantra, a well deceptively crafted, con word was introduced by the British overlords, in order to soothe the minds of our people to think that they have been given a sense of purpose and belonging, but all to no avail, Because Ndigbo continued to suffer the phobia and ethnic incentivised hate until this day in  present Nigeria, which gave rise to agitation for self-determination by the Indigenous people of Biafra, IPOB. 

Moreover, the genocide and extermination plots against Ndigbo which was always backed up by propaganda and lies in order to portray them as the evil agressors and trouble makers, has thrived in Nigeria for so many decades until the coming of IPOB, who began to debunk the lies through the mechanism of radio Biafra and social media, sensitizing the Nigerian population, the global  community on the reality of things. Today, the whole world knows the truth and the plight of the Indigenous People Of Biafra and our reason for quest of self-determination.

The way forward for Ndigbo is not just financial restitution or empty national apology rather, Ndigbo and the rest of the ethnic group in Eastern Nigeria who were victims of the Biafra genocide deserves to be asked for their unanimous opinion on what they truly want in and from Nigeria. The right to make a unanimous decision cannot be overemphasized. 

Millions of Ndigbo already harbor in their minds that only an independent Biafra state would serve as the deserving justice the Igbo nation deserves.  In their in minds for Ndigbo have relief,  and escape the post war trauma, the Igbo nation must be allowed to solely and independently chart way for their own their sociopolitical and economic future.

This can only be decided through or via a popular or referendum. The Nigerian government must and should active this process if it is really sorry over the years of accumulated injustice against Ndigbo. The international community is also under obligation to intervene and take decisive steps to ensure that justice is granted to Ndigbo who have self evidently gone through a great deal of sufferings in the hands of their supposed compatriots in Nigeria.

We won’t retreat or surrender, ESN under oath – IPOB dares Tinubu govt on referendum

We won’t retreat or surrender, ESN under oath – IPOB dares Tinubu govt on referendum

The Biafran Times | Jan. 30, 2025

By Seun Opejobi

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Thursday declared that the Eastern Security Network, ESN, is under oath to safeguard the Southeast, stressing that operatives would not engage in any form of criminality.

Celebrating ESN’s 4th anniversary, IPOB disclosed that there are serious consequences for any ESN operative that goes against the outfit’s Code of Conduct and ethics.

In a statement he signed, the spokesman of IPOB, Emma Powerful, commended the gallantry of the ESN Command in the Southeast as they celebrated their 4th year anniversary on December 12, 2024, noting that “IPOB and Ndigbo are happy to congratulate all ESN Operatives on their belated 4th Anniversary Parade that took place on December 12th, 2024, in Biafra Land.”

Disclosing that the anniversary was delayed due to security concerns, Powerful declared that IPOB won’t retreat or surrender until Biafra’s referendum is achieved and President Bola Tinubu releases its leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

According to Powerful: “The ESN Command 4th Anniversary videos and pictures were deliberately delayed because of the security concerns at the time of publication. However, the global family of IPOB and Biafrans in general salute the historic 4th Anniversary of our gallant men and women. We salute their bravery, dedication, and excellent service to our fatherland Biafra. In a special way, we honor the gallant heroes who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in their effort to keep our people safe. The warriors’ spirit in the living and departed comrades are working together to ensure that we restore Biafra Nation. Once again, we say congratulations to the men and women under the ESN Command!

“Eastern Security Network, ESN, is an Indigenous Vigilante Security outfit founded by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and the family of IPOB worldwide. The primary mission of ESN is to protect the people of the Southeastern region in the contraption called Nigeria from the marauding terrorists Fulani herdsmen. Prior to the formation of ESN, the murderous Fulani bandits and terrorists occupied many of Biafran’s forests and bushes. From the occupied bushes and forests, they launched attacks on our local farmers, the farmlands, and communities in our region. There were uncountable cases of Fulani terrorists’ attacks on many communities with countless women raped and many people, including children, killed by these soulless terrorists. But in the last 4 years of ESN operations in our land, the cases of Fulani herdsmen mass murder, rapes, killing of farmers, and displacement of communities in the Biafra territory are almost non-existent.

“On this 4th anniversary of the ESN Command, the worldwide family of IPOB wishes to reassure Ndigbo and Biafrans worldwide that ESN has the utmost interest of Biafrans above their own personal interest. They are under oath to safeguard the region and the people. That is why, for the past 4 years, they have sacrificed a lot for the greater good of Biafra land. They have lived in the bushes, confronted many challenges, and faced many difficult circumstances, including loss of lives. However, they have scaled by adopting adaptive strategies and prayers of Biafrans and other lovers of freedom.

“The IPOB leadership and IPOB worldwide have tremendously tried very hard to sustain ESN, and the Biafra struggle in the absence of our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Their resolve and determination to sustain and support ESN financially and morally cannot be overemphasized. ESN remains the last line of defense for Biafra Nation. It beholds Biafrans at home and in the diaspora to join IPOB in providing logistical support for ESN to continue to protect our land for the battles ahead. They are under oath to safeguard the region and the people.

“ESN Operatives have a strong sense of ethics and morality in discharging their duties. Therefore, be assured that ESN shall not engage in any criminal activity or in the killing or destroying of the people they have vowed to protect. There are serious consequences for any ESN Operative that goes against the ESN Code of Conduct and ethics.

“In this year 2025, ESN will intensify their activities in sting operations against all the criminals who have turned our land into a place where all manner of evil and abominable activities—ritual killings, extortion, illegal arrest, and forceful disappearances, drug businesses—take place. It is going to be an eye for an eye operation. Biafra Land must be free from all forms of criminality and terrorism being sponsored by the Nigerian government and desperate politicians just to tarnish the image of ESN, IPOB, and the Biafra struggle.

“ESN hereby warns all the local vigilantes under any code name in Biafra Land to tread with caution in discharging their duties. ESN operatives are not against the genuine vigilantes that are helping to curb crimes. But they must not cross the red lines by being a tool in the hands of the Nigerian Government and her murderous Security Forces to hunt, abduct, and kill any IPOB member or any innocent Biafran in Biafra territory. If they do, they should be ready to have a confrontation with ESN.

“ESN shall apply all necessary measures to facilitate the evacuation of terrorists and bandits in the uniform of the Nigerian Security Agencies out of the Biafra Region. Some of the people in these security uniforms are terrorists and criminals parading as state actors. ESN shall impose harsh punishment on any Biafran conniving with the Fulani herdsmen in land acquisition in the Southeast Region. Moreover, those individuals making money by pointing fingers at IPOB members to be abducted or killed by the Nigerian murderous Security Forces should be ready to be paid in the same coin.

“Finally, the global family of IPOB once again calls on the Nigerian Government under Bola Ahmed Tinubu to release our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and other Biafrans abducted by the Nigeria DSS, Army, and Police and detained unjustly. Self-determination is not a crime under any law in the world.

“IPOB shall never retreat nor surrender until Biafrans are given the right to vote in a referendum or exit Nigeria in some other way. God bless Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB Leadership for launching ESN to save our people from the Fulani bloody terrorists. God bless ESN Operatives for their bravery and sacrifices.”
