Starting their radio programme, a female announcer who gave her name as Ifeoma Okorafor, stated that the radio was back on air and IPOB
was restructuring. She then announced that “Mazi Nnamdi Nwanekaenyi Kanu, the
former Director of Radio Biafra is hereby dismissed and removed as Director of
Radio Biafra following extensive and intensive consultations”. She named “Mazi
Ezenwachukwu Sampson Okwudili as Kanu’s replacement.”
Kanu has not been seen publicly
since he fled Abia State after the military raided his family compound some
months back.
The reasons the Radio Biafra
announcer gave for Kanu’s removal included:
(A) Personalization of the
Biafran struggle and derailing from the core objectives of IPOB as a grassroots
movement.
(B) Kanu’s actions and his
decisions to incite members of IPOB towards violence leading to the death of
many innocent young people in Onitsha, Aba and Umuahia is totally unacceptable
and grossly irresponsible.
(C) Kanu privately collected £14m
and another $22m to purchase landed properties abroad in his name and that of
his father Igwe Israel Kanu in a clear case of monkey dey work baboon dey chop.
(D) Kanu turned our collective
struggle into a money-making enterprise for himself and his father. Thus the
monies contributed by enterprising and hard-working Igbo youths across the
world are being collected and converted by one man and his father while
pretending to be sacrificing for the cause.
(E) Upon his release from detention in April 2017, one
expected Kanu to drum up support for the release of his colleagues and
co-detainees such as Chidiebere Onwudiwe, Benjamin Madubugwu and David
Nwawuisi. These are our brothers who were arrested at the same time with him
and they should not be forgotten. We hereby demand their release. Kanu, since
his release, has never spoken about them or appealed for the release.More details coming!
