The Biafra Nations League, BNL, has debunked reports that it would join the proposed protest at the Federal High Court in demand for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
Grassroots.ng reported the arrest of the leader of IPOB by the Nigerian security operatives, last week.
He was arraigned in court on Tuesday and Justice Binta Nyako ordered that Kanu be detained under the custody of the Department Of State Security pending his hearing on the 26th of July, 2021.
Grassroots.bg understands that some members of the IPOB will storm the Federal High Court in Abuja in form of protest to pay solidarity to their leader.
However, NBL said it will not be part of such protest, adding that IPOB has not reached out to it on their next line of action.
Head of Operations of BNL, Henry Edet disclosed this in a statement in Ikot Ekpene, Akwa Ibom State on Sunday.
There are speculations that members of various secessionist groups will protest on July 26 protest at the Abuja High Court to demand the release of Nnamdi Kanu.
Nnamdi Kanu: Biafrans won’t negotiate with Buhari over IPOB leader’s release – BNL
“I saw some YouTube channels mentioning that we will be part of the protest, I’m not aware. As the head of operations, any action my group wants to take I am the person that will handle it.
“For now my group has not disclosed to me that we shall be participating in protest anywhere.
“The IPOB leadership has not reached out to us on that, so we can’t be faster than them, “.
The group said it won’t condemn any action the IPOB takes in ensuring that Kanu was free, while it also advised IPOB to look beyond protests.
