The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has expressed their readiness to receive their leader, Nnamdi Kanu, after the supreme court ruling on December, 15^th.

Spokesperson of the group, Emma Powerful in a release he made public to newsmen on Thursday has also urged his members to remain calm and peaceful while waiting for the judgement.

Same vain, the group has urged the supreme court to emulate the earlier ruling of the appeal court which discharged Kanu.

The statement reads In parts “The global family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by the great and indefatigable liberator Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu Kanu express our readiness to receive our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, on the 15^thof December 2023.

“IPOB wishes to reiterate that our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu did not commit any crime both locally or internationally, and we expect the Supreme Court of Nigeria Justices to toe the line of justice and unconditionally release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

“The Supreme Court Justices should emulate the Appeal Court Justices, who refused to bow to the Executive branch of government’s intimidation but discharged Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and barred the Nigeria government from further arrest and prosecution of our leader.

“The Supreme Court Justices should use their privileged office to stop the executive’s recklessness and abuse of the human rights of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu by releasing him unconditionally.

“The Nigeria government can not brazenly violate their constitution and international laws on extradition with the Nigeria judiciary backing. The Supreme Court Justices know very well that extraordinary rendition is an international crime,” he said.

It further stated “All eyes are on the Supreme Court Justices of Nigeria. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra movement globally. The IPOB self-determination movement has been peaceful and civil in our demand for Biafra Independence via a UN supervised referendum.

“The release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from illegal detention is very important for the peace in Nigeria, particularly in the South eastern Region.

“We call on all Biafrans who believe in our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to keep calm and ensure that there is peace in all parts of Biafra land. We are aware that our enemies will create insecurity and violence as the Supreme Court judgment approaches.

” Every IPOB member and true Biafran should resist those enemies of peace. We encourage every Biafran to remain calm and prayerful as we wait for our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to rejoin us on December 15, 2023, after the Supreme Court of Nigeria’s judgement.” (Daily Sun: Text, Excluding Headlin)
