IPOB: Anambra state governorship election won’t hold if Nnamdi Kanu isn’t released
The proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has threatened that the November 6, governorship election in Anambra State would not take place if their leader, Nnamdi Kanu, is not released from the Department of State Security (DSS) detention before the election.
The secessionist group has said that they will impose a one-week sit-at-home order across the South East from November 5, to disrupt the upcoming gubernatorial election, if the Federal Government does not release Kanu from its custody before November 4.
This was made known in a statement signed by IPOB’s Media and Public Secretary, Emma Powerful, on Saturday in Awka, Anambra State, saying that the protest would go on as planned if the federal government does not release Nnamdi Kanu, who is facing trial on a 7-count amended charge bordering on treason and terrorism.
