The Indigenous
People of Biafra, IPOB, Wednesday, appealed to South East residents to
accept the outcome of tomorrow’s [Thursday, December 1, 2016] ruling on
bail application by its leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
In a press statement issued by IPOB
spokesperson, Emma Powerful, on Wednesday, November 30, 2016, the
secessionist group called on Ndigbo not to embark on any form of
protest. The group said the appeal became necessary in view of the
anticipation of Kanu losing at the appeal court.
“We are not expecting anything good from
the Nigerian court because President Muhammadu Buhari has since ordered
the judiciary not to release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu,” the statement said.
“We are not expecting anything positive
from the court tomorrow, after all Buhari has made it very clear that no
court will grant Nnamdi Kanu and others bail and since then the order
is effective.
“Significantly, Justice Ademola who granted him bail on 17th December 2015 is now facing allegations of corruption and he was suspended.
“Also Justice Shuaibu who granted him
bail was also accused of corruption and now transferred out of FCT
territory, while Justice John Tsoho who gives conflicting judgement in
this same case is still sitting at federal high court up till date,
despite petition against him before the NJC.
“The federal government and the defence
headquarters have sent soldiers to the south east to rubbish the Amnesty
International reports, which is causing confusion around Nigeria and
the world.
“Therefore, we are advising every
Biafran and IPOB members to keep calm because the soldiers sent here
came with master plan to kill unarmed members and drop some
sophisticated gadgets on top of the dead ones in order to rubbish the
Amnesty International reports.
“Our people should accept whatever may be the outcome of the tomorrow’s court because already they have been told what to do.
“Everybody should stay quiet tomorrow to
avoid unnecessary killing of unarmed civilians who came to celebrate;
therefore no celebration of any kind.”
