The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), a proscribed separatist group, has announced the suspension of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, from holding office as Leader of IPOB and Director of Radio Biafra.
The decision followed a full-house meeting of the IPOB Directorate of State (DOS) on Wednesday, where intelligence reports regarding Kanu’s communications from Sokoto prison were reviewed.
In a statement signed by Mazi Chikadibia Edoziem, Head of the Directorate of State, IPOB declared that the DOS will now oversee the organisation’s affairs.
The leadership emphasized that IPOB was “formed and nurtured by a group of Biafrans in the Diaspora, not by any singular individual,” stressing that no one has the authority to dissolve the DOS, which remains the apex leadership structure.
According to the statement, the suspension was necessary to prevent “unchecked actions, reckless assumption of authority and unguarded utterances” that have allegedly led to arrests, torture, and deaths of IPOB members in Biafraland.
