* Kanu demands withdrawal of case against him,
others

Leader of Biafra Independence Movement (BIM), Chief Ralph
Uwazuruike has floated another Radio Biafra in Germany.

The Voice of Biafra International (VOBI) Radio, according to
Uwazuruike would start broadcast on short waves (SW) band,
soon.

The MASSOB leader added that the radio station would be the
authentic voice of the Biafran people and would educate, inform and
enlighten them on issues of Biafra and will not spread hate
messages or blackmail.

He maintained that “MASSOB-BIM would continue to play a leading
role in the quest for Biafra, assuring Igbo that it is only through
non-violence that Biafra independence could be achieved without
firing a gunshot.

The group said it had no regret that Radio Biafra London, set up
in 2009 by Chief Uwazuruike and handed over to Nnamdi Kanu only for
the same radio to be used to blackmail its leader and spread hate
messages.

He allged that Kanu was only out to make money and fame and not
firm and credible to propagate the Biafra struggle.

Meanwhile, Kanu has called on the Federal Government to withdraw
the five-count amended charge preferred against him and other
pro-Biafra agitators including Chidiebere Onwudiwe, Benjamin
Madubugwu, David Nwawuisi and Bright Chimezie.

He further demanded that they should be set free without further
delay as the amended charge which he said contained baseless
allegations is a ploy by the Federal Government to continue to
detain them.

This was even as Kanu warned Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo to
refrain from making provocative and unacceptable comments
pertaining to his trial before the Abuja division of the Federal
High Court.

The pro-Biafra agitator said he considered such remarks by
Osinbajo as a clear case of undue interference with judicial
process capable of distorting the mindset of the trial judge,
Justice Binta Nyako.

Kanu’s position, was contained in a statement issued in Abuja by
his lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor on the dislodgment of the charge
brought against him and others.

He made specific reference to the comment allegedly made by the
acting president in his presentation before the Igbo Council of
Traditional Rulers, that the agitation for Biafra is
unconstitutional as it offends Section 2 of the 1999 Constitution,
2011 (as amended).

In addition, Kanu also referred to the consequent threat of
arrest and imprisonment of those that exercise their unquestionable
and inalienable rights to self-determination.
