The Directorate of State of the Indigenous People of Biafra has indefinitely suspended the Office of the Leader of IPOB and the position of Director of Radio Biafra, both previously held by Nnamdi Kanu, pending further notice.
In a statement issued on Thursday by the Head of the Directorate of State, Mazi Chikadibia Edoziem, the leadership said the suspension was intended to safeguard the movement’s operations and mission.
Edoziem added that the decision was aimed at protecting IPOB members worldwide, particularly those in Biafraland, and preventing any security breaches or emergencies in the region.
The statement partly read, “Considering the enormous responsibility placed upon the leadership of the Indigenous People of Biafra to safeguard our operations and mission, protect IPOB family members worldwide, especially those in Biafraland, and prevent any security breach or emergency in Biafraland, the Directorate of State of IPOB has suspended indefinitely and with immediate effect the Office of the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra and the position of Director of Radio Biafra previously held by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu until further notice.”
The group explained that the action was taken to prevent individuals or groups from engaging in criminal activities or carrying out unauthorised actions under the purported authority of the now-suspended Office of the Leader.
