Biafra Panic: Kanu’s Father Ready To Quit Throne For Biafra
His Royal Majesty, Eze Kanu, the father of Nnamdi Kanu, has
revealed that he will go as far as abdicating his throne for the
actualization of a Biafra republic. In an interview with The Sun, the
Eze Ikputu of Afara Ukwu Ibeku in Umuahia, said he was ready to quit his
throne over the course for which his son is being detained. He said
there was relief having heard that his son, the Radio Biafra boss, was
arraigned in court in good health. The monarch also expressed his joy
over the continued support of the “Biafran” people who rallied round the
leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). In an appeal to
President Muhammdu Buhari, Eze Kanu urged the federal government to
release his son, because he has not done anything wrong in fighting his
course with just words. He said there was no way to tell his son to
backdown, stressing that Biafra is not just Kanu’s fight but the desire
of the Igbo people. Eze Ikputu noted that the Igbo people are like
slaves in the country, hence the the call for their liberation. He added
that nothing but freedom will do for the agitators of Biafra, and that
the separation in no way calls for war, seeing that other countries have
gained their freedom without bloodshed. Meanwhile, Princess Chinwe
Kanu, the sister of the detained Biafra leader, has cried out over how t
he Department of State Services (DSS) plans to kill her brother while
in detention.
