By Farouk Mohammed

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has given the federal government and South East governors seven days to release its leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

In a statement on Wednesday by its spokesperson, Emma Powerful, IPOB said if its leader is not released, the government should be prepared to bear the consequences.

Powerful said the pro-Biafra group members had gone deep in search to locate Kanu and his parents to no avail.

He said: ”We are giving the federal government and South East governors seven days to produce or tell us the condition of our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

”If he still alive, they should charge him to court because if anything happens to him, the South East governors should bear the consequences after the expiration of this notice, or they should hasten to build more prisons and acquire more weapons which they will use to kill more Biafrans.”

The IPOB spokesperson said after going through the record of its members in Kanu’s compound on the day of the attack, it was discovered that about 38 members were arrested.

”We are once again raising alarm for the United Nation and the relevant bodies across the globe to ask Nigerian government and her security operatives to give details of IPOB leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and his parents, including those dead bodies and those picked up alive during the attack and invasion of our leader’s compound in Isiama Afaraukwu Ibeku Umuahia,” Powerful said.
