It is very unfortunate that the Nigeria government has refused to appreciate the fact that Biafrans are always calm and peaceful in whatever predicament we find ourselves despite the incessant frustrations, marginalisation and killings.
I and Mazi Kenneth Ogani, the IPOB Abuja coordinator arrived at Kuje prisons at exactly 10:07am on May 10, 2017, to pay homage to our beloved brothers and co-defendants to IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu who are still being detained. However, funny enough, the Kuje prison officers asked us about our letters, which left us totally confused. We asked them what the letters have to do with our visit, and they replied and said that our questions simply means; we have not been at the prisons for a very long period of time, as the order has been cemented for only Benjamin, David and Chidiebere for sometimes now.
We went further to ask them whether the said order is also made for all the inmates or for only the Biafra activists; they vividly replied: “Other inmates have nothing to do with that, we are only notified of Benjamin, David and Chidiebere and that order has not yet changed.”
After some series of interrogation with them, the man who is an Igbo speaking Biafran in position of the form said: “My brother forgets about Nigeria ooo! this Nigeria is terribly out of law.”
As we waited, one of the defense counsels to the detained activists, Barr. Adoga arrived Kuje prison,we greeted and he told us that there is no way the prison authorities will permit our entering.
He also revealed that the reason why he came is because of the worrisome restrictions pertaining to his client’s freedom of homage. He further show us some documents which he intends to present to the prison authorities, seeking for the absolute transfer of all the activists to either Enugu, Portharcourt or any of the prisons in Biafraland.
The need for the transfer according to Barr. Adoga is that,they are being treated as a non-indigenes which they truly are, and restricting their fundamental rights which may led to their death if care is not taken.
There is need for Biafrans and friends of Biafrans to raise alarm to the public,international communities and right groups to take immediate action before things gets out of hand, because I can see the danger of possible assassination of these activists secretly by every possible means. We can never fold our arms while the zoo stampede on our rights, and kill our gallant warriors with impunity. The worldwide must note this anarchy, injustice melted on Biafrans.
Enough is enough!
