Repentant Niger Delta militants and members of the
now-rested Niger Delta Peoples Democratic Front, NDPDF, have advised
President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately release
the embattled leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi
Kanu, in order to reduce the growing tension in the country.
Leader of the group, Precious Iyoyo (aka General Playboy) made this
call over the weekend in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, where
he warned that the continued detention of Kanu, even after a court had
released him on bail, was provocative and dictatorial.
He disclosed that former militants would not fold their hands and
watch their brothers and sisters from the South-South and South East
regions “chased, tortured or enslaved with impunity in our land.”
“
The Nigerian government is dangerously pushing us to the wall.
The unprovoked mass shooting and killing of our brothers and sisters
will no longer be tolerated,” Iyoyo warned.
While calling on those from the two geopolitical zones who are
sabotaging the Biafra struggle to have a rethink, he vowed that the
NDPDF would support and sustain the agitation.
