I’m back to UK to continue Biafra liberation struggle –Nnamdi Kanu says

The leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, on Saturday announced that he has returned to the United Kingdom (UK) from Israel where he has been for some time now.

He wrote on his Twitter handle: “I am back in the UK to continue our excellent work to liberate #Biafra from the pit of darkness, Nigeria.

“Fulani cabal with their Herdsmen, ISIS and Boko Haram must not be allowed to conquer us. Let Justice Onnoghen’s humiliation unite us as one Biafran family.”

Kanu, who was standing trial for treason in Nigeria, disappeared after the army on September 14, 2017, supposedly invaded his home in Abia State during a military exercise in the South East region codenamed Operation Python Dance.

After several months of speculations over his whereabouts, Kanu later appeared in Israel in October 2018. From there, he continued his attacks on Nigerian Government through Radio Biafra.
