Anambra Election Won’t Hold If Kanu Isn’t Released, IPOB Threatens

The Indigenous People of Biafra has declared a one week sit-at-home protest across the South-East states starting from November 5, the eve of the governorship election in Anambra State.

IPOB’s Media and Public Secretary, Emma Powerful, in a statement on Saturday in Awka, the Anambra State capital, said the protest was aimed at prevailing on the Federal Government to release its leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

The group vowed that the protest would go on as planned if Kanu was not released before November 4.

Kanu is facing trial on a seven-count amended charge bordering on treason and terrorism.
