The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is planning mega rallies in cities across the United Kingdom to demand the release of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, who is being held by the Department of State Services (DSS).
According to information circulated on social media on Friday, the separatist group will hold three rallies in three UK cities on August 27, September 10, and October 16, 2022, in Milton Keynes, Leicester, and Liverpool, respectively.
In the e-flier titled “IPOB UK Summer Mega Rallies’, the October rally will hold at Premier League club, Liverpool’s stadium, Anfield before their match against Manchester City.
Kanu’s lawyers Ifeanyi Ejiofor and Aloy Ejimakor confirmed the story to Vanguard. Ejiofor said, “Confirmed. It’s correct.”

Ejimakor said, “Rallies like this have escalated across Europe and North America since the extraordinary rendition of Nnamdi Kanu. There was one like this in Brussels a few weeks ago and it drew thousands. The frequency of these rallies is a testimony to the determination of a people to the immediate task of releasing Kanu from detention. I think the world has taken notice”.
IPOB has been demanding that the Nigerian government should conduct a referendum to let the South East residents have a sovereign nation of Biafra, and recently the call for the unconditional release of Kanu has been added to the agitation.
