Mazi Nnamdi Kanu Confesses to Founding IPOB and Radio Biafra in Court
Nnamdi Kanu Discloses Reasons Behind IPOB and Radio Biafra Foundation
In an extraordinary turn of events, during a court proceeding on Tuesday, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the charismatic leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), admitted to establishing both the IPOB movement and the online radio platform, Radio Biafra.
This revelation came during a heated exchange about the origins of his advocacy group, which aims to promote the welfare of the Igbo people.
"IPOB is Open and Transparent" - Kanu
In response to claims that IPOB operates as a clandestine organization, Kanu maintained that his broadcasts on Radio Biafra were always publicly accessible, streamed on Facebook for all to see. He emphasized, "IPOB is not a secret organization."
Kanu Stands Solo
During questioning by the Department of State Services (DSS), Kanu held firm, insisting that he handled all Radio Biafra broadcasts single-handedly and did not collaborate with anyone on the affairs of the movement's communication channels.
Court Demands Evidence Played in Open Court
In a dramatic twist, the presiding judge ordered the playing of a video recording of Kanu's interrogation session with the DSS as part of the ongoing trial, hoping to shed more light on this intriguing case.
