It said: “Arresting Kanu again cannot stop the agitation, rather it will be a very big mistake on the side of federal government and its security operatives because when the security operatives arrested him on his arrival from London in his hotel room in Lagos, it sparked protests and rallies across the world.
“Arresting him again will draw the attention of the world leaders and other relevant organisations closer to the quest for Biafra independence.
“Therefore, we don’t give a damn, whether they arrest him or not. We don’t bother. Keeping Kanu in or out of Nigeria prison means nothing to us because the restoration effort continues unabated. Having Kanu in prison is always good for the struggle to restore Biafra.”
The group said the refusal to free him after two courts of competent jurisdiction granted him unconditional release, elevated the struggle to another level.
It added: “IPOB and its leadership are not even deterred by any threat from any corner because what we are doing is inalienable rights to all the indigenous people around the world and it is enshrined in the United Nations charter.”
