Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyers

The Movement for the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, Sunday rejected a reported proposal by the federal government and representatives of some militant groups for the release on Nnamdi Kanu and several others on the condition that they would drop Biafra agitation.

MASSOB hinted through its leader, Uche Madu,in a statement signed and made available to newsmen in Enugu yesterday, that the realisation of the State of Biafra is not negotiable, saying that the agitation for Biafra Republic is premised on the right of self-determination and that it has become a spiritual movement that cannot be quenched by any force.

Madu described the condition for the release of detained Director, Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, as laughable.

The Federal Government and the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta are reported to be currently dialoguing in a bid to end renewed bombing in the oil-rich Niger Delta. And MEND had in a statement weekend through its spokesperson, Jomo Gbomo, said that it proposed to the Federal Government “the release of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, on the condition that he renounces the agitation of Biafra Republic” as resolutions to end the revolts in the south-east and south-south geopolitical zones.
