According to the report, the ECOWAS Court has called on the Federal Government to pay the sum of $244 billion in compensation to those Biafrans.
The court accused the Nigeria government, said, they are found guilty in failure for fighting those that agitating for their freedom, they should compensate victims in five states in the region.
The leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has warned the former governor of Abia state and the Senate Chief Whip, Orji Uzor Kalu on his recent statement about Biafra agitation.
Naija News had reported earlier that the Senate Chief Whip pleaded with President Muhammadu Buhari to allow him to convince the IPOB leader to stop his agitation for the Republic of Biafra.
In a statement released in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital on Tuesday, the former governor had said Kanu will listen to him. He stated this in reaction to the recent altercation between members of IPOB and security personnel in Enugu state.
Senator Kalu had said he is a believer in one Nigeria and believes that people of the country are so entangled with each other that no one should be talking about separation. He added that what the country needs is to focus on taking advantage of the country’s population to build a stronger economy.
“If the Federal Government permits me, I will go to the United Kingdom and negotiate with Nnamdi Kanu to return to Nigeria. I will convince him to drop the agitation for Biafra because our people don’t need it,” Kalu had said.
However, reacting to the claims by Kalu during a live broadcast on Radio Biafra monitored by this reporter on Wednesday evening, Kanu warned that anybody coming to him with the intention of convincing him to drop the idea of Biafra, he can assure them that what happened to Ike Ekweremadu, a former Senate President who was attacked in Germany last year by IPOB members, “will be a child’s play to such individual.”
Kanu warned that he has not mandated anybody to speak on his behalf to meet with the Nigeria government nor representative to negotiate to stop Biafra agitation.
Adding that, as the leader of the indigenous people of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, I have told the Nigeria Government that no matter what they do or say Biafra agitation will not stop.
According to him, he said he has decided to achieve Biafra even though it will cost his life. He wants to live the life of Nelson Mandela.
Nnamdi Kanu remains the greatest freedom fighter ever raised from Africa. He said either Biafra’s freedom or my life.
In the same vein, the president of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday shows concern on the Biafra movement. He mentioned on his twitter page that the agitation is getting slower every day.
Netanyahu advised the momentum to be sustained. “Don’t allow the struggle to die”, the Biafra agitation must not die.
You will recall that the CNN, BBC are no longer carrying Biafra news, America and British newspapers are no longer carrying the news.
He, however, encourage the leader of the Biafra movement worldwide Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and his followers not to give up on Biafra’s struggle.
“The Biafra nation must come to stand, and become the giant of Africa by the grace of God he said. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is a great African leader, I encourage you all to continue, don’t give up.
The actualization of Biafra state will liberate the entire African Continent he said.
