BIAFRA: Nigeria’s ‘most wanted,’ Nnamdi Kanu, tours France, Switzerland, others
The Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) has listed France, Switzerland, Japan and Australia as some of the countries its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, would be visiting in the coming days.
This came as the group applauded the police in the United States of America (USA) and Canada for providing security to Kanu during his tour in the countries.
IPOB also appreciated Biafran veterans present at Atlanta Georgia, Toronto Canada, Houston Texas, Chicago and New York City, for all their contributions during Kanu’s tour to those areas.
Kanu has been touring some foreign countries engaging Igbos and others in town hall meetings and lectures bothering on his group quest for the independence of Biafra from the Nigerian State.
In a statement IPOB spokesman, Emma Powerful, released on Tuesday he said:
“We congratulate IPOB families and other Biafrans across the US and Canada for the rousing and impressive welcome they accorded our indomitable leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and his team during his recent town hall meetings and lectures held in different cities across the USA and Canada.
“We owe a debt of gratitude to the USA and Canadian police that safeguarded the venue of our meetings and provided close quarter protection to our leader at every public appearance.
“The level of respect and support accorded to our leader during these events signaled to the world at large and traitors within that our people are fully in sync with the IPOB restoration project and leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu whom God Almighty has anointed to lead the great and noble people of Biafra to our inevitable freedom.
“We equally thank all Biafran veterans that made it to Atlanta Georgia, Toronto Canada, Houston Texas, Chicago and New York City, including various socio-clutural organisations affiliate organisations who contributed immensely to ensuring the success of this tour.
