The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB has warned Niger Delta militant group, Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, MEND not to include freedom for its detained leader, Nnamdi Kanu in its negotiation with the Federal Government.
IPOB said MEND did not have its mandate to negotiate the release of Kanu and other members in a statement issued by its media and publicity Secretary of IPOB, Mr. Emma Powerful.
The Biafran secessionist group said it will only agree to unconditional release of Kanu even as it affirmed that only its leaders could negotiate on its behalf.
The statement partly reads: “IPOB under Mazi Nnamdi Kanu did not send MEND to negotiate for the release of our leader Kanu and other members in detention with him. It is unfortunate on the part of MEND to negotiate for the release our leader without the full knowledge of the organization.
“We the members of the indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB) worldwide and people of Biafra can never accept any release of our leader and other members detained alongside with him because he did not commit any crime, we can only accept the unconditional release of our leader, nothing more and nothing less.
“MEND is a group which does not know what it is looking for and who decided to stay and use the plights of their people to make demand from the Federal Government, everybody knows that and Nnamdi Kanu is not the type who will sabotage the people of Biafra.
“Therefore, any group or individual that wants to use the struggle for Biafra to make money or to sabotage the independent state of Biafra will die with serious pains around him or her because this is God’s project which no human being can stop because it is a spirit that hovers around.”
