Biafra Panic: Kanu’s Father Ready To Quit Throne For Biafra

In an interview with The Sun, the Eze Ikputu of Afara Ukwu Ibeku in Umuahia, said he was ready to quit his throne over the course for which his son is being detained.   He said there was relief having heard that his son, the Radio Biafra boss, was arraigned in court in good health.

The monarch also expressed his joy over the continued support of the “Biafran” people who rallied round the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

In an appeal to President Muhammdu Buhari, Eze Kanu urged the federal government to release his son, because he has not done anything wrong in fighting his course with just words.

He said there was no way to tell his son to back down, stressing that Biafra is not just Kanu’s fight but the desire of the Igbo people.

Eze Ikputu noted that the Igbo people are like slaves in the country, hence the the call for their liberation.

 

He added that nothing but freedom will do for the agitators of Biafra, and that the separation in no way calls for war, seeing that other countries have gained their freedom without bloodshed.

Meanwhile, Princess Chinwe Kanu, the sister of the detained Biafra leader, has cried out over how the Department of State Services (DSS) plans to kill her brother while in detention.
