Former Abia State Gov Visits Nnamdi Kanu in DSS Custody as IPOB Declares 3 Prayer Points for Biafran Actualization
Former Abia State Governor, Sen. Orji Uzor Kalu revealed that he was at the office of the Department of State Services (DSS) on Monday to visit detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
The Chief Whip of the Nigerian Senate, Sen. Orji Uzor Kalu revealed the details of his discussion with Kanu on his verified Facebook page a few moments ago.
Kalu said his visit to the office of the secret police was to encourage the embattled Biafran agitator to consider the consequences of certain actions and utterances for the sake of the Igbo people.
Sen. Kalu wrote: “This afternoon, I visited my brother, Maazi Nnamdi Kanu in DSS custody, Abuja. I met him in good health and care and we discussed as ‘Umunne’. In 2001 when I was Governor, I made his late father Eze Israel Okwu Kanu traditional ruler of Akwara Ukwu and since then the family has been very close to me.”
“I understand that Nnamdi has an insane amount of people rooting for his back home and I encouraged him to consider the consequences of certain actions and utterances for the sake of the same people.
Nnamdi Kalu will appear in court in Abuja in continuation of his treason trials.

Meanwhile, IPOB has declared a partial lockdown in the South East and asked for a prayer session for the unconditional release of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu. Three prayer point was requested; that Nnamdi Kanu be released unconditionally, that peace should reign in the zone and quick realisation of the Biafra nation when everything fails.
A statement by the Head of Directorate of IPOB, Chika Edoziem and released by the spokesperson, Emma Powerful said: “On this very day, we will make one solemn sacrifice. I am not instituting sit-at-home but all Biafrans should dedicate that day by shutting down all business activities. Banks should not open.”
Powerful said the prayer session would be all over the world where all Biafrans reside.
“There is no sit-at-home because we understand that Fulani and DSS agents masquerading as our members are now telling people that IPOB will use that day as sit-at-home, no we did not say so and will not, but our people will open their shops after the prayers.
“We must stand in the open and make sure that the daylight shines upon us. If it rains, let the rain falls upon us as we make this prayer. All pastors, evangelists, prophets, rabbis etc shall lead in this day prayer. The Odinana people must also gather and call for the spirits that guard the land and Chukwu Okike Abiama.
“Our kings will also come out to pray in the manner that our ancestors prayed in the old days. They will pray with a native kola that has four parts. Those who the aka ji Ofor in Biafraland must come out and gather with the Odinana people; bring the Ofor and after the prayer, break kola and throw the kola to our ancestors as the aka ji Ofor shall raise the Ofor and hit it on the ground for our ancestors to come and fight for us.”
Kanu has been in the custody of the secret police following his extradition to Nigeria to face his trial on treasonable felony charges before Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja.
The IPOB leader had fled the country in September 2017 after an invasion of his home by the military, when he alleged his life was threatened.
