Nnamdi Kanu

By Steve Oko

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has dismissed the purported suspension and expulsion of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, by the faction led by Chika Edoziem, describing the move as unconstitutional, null and void, and an exercise in futility by officials whose tenure had already been terminated.

In a statement issued by IPOB spokesperson Emma Powerful, the group said Edoziem and members of the dissolved third administration of the Directorate of State (DOS) lacked the authority to take any action against Kanu, having been removed from office before issuing the declaration.
