Kanu is being held by the DSS on a new charge of treasonable felony despite previous court orders for him to be freed unconditionally.
In a statement by the MASSOB National Director of Information, Samuel Edeson, and IPOB Secretary, Ibem Ugwuoke Ibem, yesterday,the pro-Biafra groups warned the public to stay at home from Monday as there will be massive protests in the South-East and parts of the South-South to force the Federal Government to comply with the court orders.
The groups made the announcement as Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has ordered security operatives to arrest any pro-Biafra element flouting the ban against secessionist protests in any part of the state.
The governor, who gave the order in a statement by his Commissioner for Information and Communications, Dr Austin Tam-George, yesterday, said government will not tolerate any form of pro-Biafra protest in any part of Rivers.
