The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) says the President Muhammadu Buhari regime worked with an unnamed East African country to abduct its leader Nnamdi Kanu.
In a statement released on Wednesday, Chika Edoziem, IPOB’s head of directorate charged members of the separatist group to remain focused on its fundamental objective.
Mr Edoziem also said that the identity of the East African country that worked with the Mr Buhari regime to abduct the group’s leader would be made known in due cause.

“The Directorate of State of the Indigenous People of Biafra wish to inform the IPOB families worldwide of the abduction of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) by the Nigerian government working in evil alliance with an East African Country. We shall make the name of this country public in due course,” the statement by Mr Edoziem read.

“We are aware of reports that Nnamdi Kanu has been detained in Nigeria by the Federal Government of Nigeria,” Mr Hurlock. “We can confirm that Nnamdi Kanu was not arrested in the UK for extradition purposes.”
