Radio Biafra Director Yet To Be Released, IPOB Directorate of State Hold Emergency Meeting
ÂMr. Nnamdi Kanu, Director of clandestine Radio Biafra and leader ofÂRadio BiafraÂfaction of Indigenous People of BiafraÂ(IPOB)ÂÂisÂyet to be released fromÂÂNigeriaÂDepartment of State ServicesÂ(DSS) detention because he has not met the conditions of the court bail granted him.
Â
KanuÂwas onÂOctober 19Âsecretly arraigned by the DSS atÂAbuja Municipal Council Magistrate court where he was granted bail in the sum of N2 millionÂor with surety of N2 million with a civil servant of grade level 16. He is still toÂmeet the conditions of his bail and remains in detention.
Â
Billie (Human Rights Initiative)/Council of Elders is the other faction of IPOB. Radio Biafra was part of this IPOB until Kanu broke away to register his own IPOB which is now organizing protests forÂhis release from detention.ÂMr. Egechukwu Obetta, NnamdiÂKanu's lawyer expressed to the media some logistical difficultiesÂin meeting the terms of his client's bail.Â
Â
According to reliable sources, Radio Biafra IPOB Directorate of State held an emergency meeting yesterday where they agreed to implement Kanu's "commandments" if he is not released in the next few days.
Â
Masterweb on learning the purported arrest of Nnamdi Kanu, contacted DSSÂOctober 18Âon his whereabouts and was told to call backÂlater.ÂMasterweb CEO/Publisher, Chief Charles O. OkerekeÂcalled back the following day and was told by DSS that: "He (Nnamdi Kanu)Âis with usÂin safe hands and we are carrying out investigations."
Kanu wasÂsecretly arraigned byÂDSS atÂAbuja Municipal Council Magistrate court shortly after their statement to Chief Okereke.Â
In July, Nigeria National Broadcasting Commission (NBC)ÂannouncedÂthey blocked Radio Biafra signal because itÂwasÂoperating illegally andÂbroadcasting hate messages. Briefing Journalists after the NBC announcement and meeting between officials of Ministry of InformationÂand PresidentÂBuhari, Dr. Shade Yemi-Esan, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Information said: âRight now the signals from radio Biafra have been jammed successfully by NBC. The commission is also working with security agencies to get those that are behind that radio because it is an illegal radio. It is not licensed by anybody to be on the airwaves in Nigeria.âÂ
Clandestine Radio BiafraÂcontrary toÂclaim by NBC of jamming it still broadcastsÂÂon satelliteÂTV dubbed Biafra Television, Internet, FM,ÂAM andÂshortwave (SW)Â frequencies; the shortwave they claim covers most of Africa and beyond. Nnamdi Kanu, Radio Biafra Director in a statement posted on their website, described their shortwave radio as âNuclear War Headâ.
Â
WillÂKanu's prosecution in courtÂclip the wings of Radio Biafra? The answer will unfold as the case drags out. Stay tuned here on Masterweb for latest updates on the case.
