Ex Niger Delta Militants Gives FG 31 Days Ultimatum To Release Nnamdi Kanu

Niger Delta ex-militant leaders in support of the Indigenous
People of Biafra (IPOB) struggle have given Federal Government
31-day deadline to free the leader of the group and Director of
Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, or face the consequences.
Also, the former warlords warned security agencies against
tampering with the life of the IPOB leader, who is detained at Kuje
Prison. Spokesperson of the concerned ex-militants, simply
identified as General Ben, warned that at the expiration of the
ultimatum, they would resume massive abduction of expatriates
as a first step.

The spokesperson declared that Federal Government should not
underrate the activities of the militants in the Niger Delta, no
matter the number of soldiers deployed against them.
He fumed: “The ex-militant leaders in Ebeocha IPOB are warning
the Federal Government and are giving them 31 days to release
Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of IPOB and Director of Radio Biafra.
“We are giving Federal Government deadline; if they fail to release
him, the country would be vandalised. He is fighting a just cause.
Nothing should happen to him and Federal Government should
not forget what we can do,” he threatened.

They accused the Federal Government of marginalising a section
of the country, pointing out that the approach of the Presidency
on issues bordering on the entire geo-political zones were treated
unjustly and with bias.

Speaking on the recent invasion of the homes of their colleagues
by security operatives, General Ben said the action was meant to
intimidate them. “Federal Government wants to use that way to
harm us. But we are warning that they (FG) should not forget our
capabilities. They think we can be intimidated by that approach.
No way!

“Federal Government should know that the detention of Nnamdi
Kanu and raid of the residences of our colleagues are enough
reasons to collapse the society.”

“It is sad. We are not happy because things are not working the
right way in the country. We are marginalised and hunted. We are
saying ‘enough is enough’. We are no longer interested in this
country again,” he declared.
