In a statement obtained by IGBERE TV, the group urged all IPOB family members to remain focused on fundamental objective which is a Free, Sovereign and Independent Biafran Nation.
According to the statement, ” while waiting for further directives from the Directorate Of State, we must guard against any torm of distraction or indiscipline creeping in to taint the duties assigned to us individually and collectively by our leader Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.”

Justice Binta Nyako said he is to be remanded in DSS custody pending the determination of his trial.
The IPOB leader appeared in court without his lawyer or any member of his defence team.
