Prior to the arrest of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the indigenous people of Biafra group, a Group of Protesters took to the street of London to express their grievances following Kanu’s arrest.

The protesters were seen waving the Biafran flag as they chanted, “Free Nnamdi Kanu now”, “Free Nnamdi Kanu now.”

Recall the attorney general of the Federation, Malami, in the text of his press conference in Abuja on Tuesday, had noted that the IPOB leader, apart from jumping bail, has been “accused of engaging in subversive activities that include inciting violence through television, radio and online broadcasts against Nigeria and Nigerian State and institutions.”

“He has been brought back to Nigeria in order to continue facing trial after disappearing while on bail regarding an 11 counts against him.”It is recalled that Kanu was arrested on 14th October, 2015 on 11 counts bordering on terrorism, treasonable felony, managing an unlawful society, publication of defamatory matter, illegal possession of firearms and improper importation of goods, among others.

“A judge at the Federal High Court, Abuja revoked Kanu’s bail that was granted him on health ground and issued a bench warrant for his arrest on the same date, over his failure to appear in court for hearing.

“He has, upon jumping bail, been accused of engaging in subversive activities that include inciting violence through television, radio and online broadcasts against Nigeria and Nigerian State and institutions.

“Kanu was also accused of instigating violence especially in the Southeastern Nigeria that resulted in the loss of lives and property of civilians, military, para military, police forces and destruction of civil institutions and symbols of authorities,” Malami stated
