The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has on Wednesday declared that the planned negotiation with the Federal Government will not hold if its leader, Nnamdi Kanu is absent from the meeting.
The IPOB demanded an unconditional release of its leader for the dialogue to hold.
The demand is contained in a statement by its spokesperson, Emma Powerful which was made available in Awka, Anambra state.
the group in the statement said: “For Buhari to continue to keep Kanu in custody after a court of competent jurisdiction had granted him (Kanu) bail is enough corruption.”
It further said: “They don’t know this man called Nnamdi Kanu. They can’t intimidate Kanu by dumping him in prison. He can’t beg anybody for his freedom.
“Instead of our leader to renounce Biafra, he would renounce Nigeria publicly, mark our words.
“We are not after securing bail for our leader; we are after his freedom and freedom for the people of Biafra.
“Even a child born today knows that any attempt to tamper with Nnamdi Kanu’s life will bring about catastrophic consequences.
“Should anything happen to Kanu, Somalia will be a paradise, compared to what will happen in Nigeria.
“We are not asking for anything short of his immediate and unconditional release, as ordered by an Abuja Federal High Court”.
