Nnamdi Kanu Sends ‘Strong Warning’ To Those Against Biafra
The self-acclaimed leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, says “those that seek to suppress Biafra will be consumed by it.”
Naija News reports that the IPOB leader made this statement on the micro-blogging site, Twitter, on Thursday.
Kanu, who is currently in the United Kingdom, said the triumph of Israelites over Pharaoh, which he described as the “first recorded and successful non-violent agitation for self-determination”, shows that Biafra will achieve the same feat.
His words: “The triumph of Israelites over Pharaoh is the first recorded and successful NON-VIOLENT agitation for self-determination.
“There has been many after that, and Biafra will follow shortly.
“Like that of the Pharaoh, those that seek to suppress Biafra will be consumed by it,” the IPOB leader tweeted.

Kanu is leading a group seeking secession from Nigeria. The group has since been proscribed by the Nigerian government.
