IPOB Urges Buhari To Reconsider Stand On Nnamdi Kanu

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has asked President Mohammadu Buhari to reconsider his stance on the release of its detained leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

The group said Buhari was about making a mistake capable of adversely affecting Nigeria, if he failed to free Kanu.

The President had promised a delegation of Igbo elders of consideration of the  IPOB leader’s release which he later rescinded during an interview with Channels TV last week.

But in a statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, IPOB accused those it referred to as   “foreign-based saboteurs”  and enemies of its struggle as being responsible for Buhari’s change of mind.

It urged Buhari not to allow himself to be deceived by sacked members of the group peddling fake information about its security outfit, the Eastern Security Network (ESN), for pecuniary interests.
