The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has issued a stern warning to President Bola Tinubu and the Department of State Services (DSS), cautioning that Nigeria is “toying with catastrophe” if anything happens to its detained leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
In a strongly worded statement, IPOB’s spokesman, Emma Powerful, declared that Kanu’s health situation must be taken seriously, describing him as “priceless” and warning that neglecting his medical condition could trigger an unprecedented crisis across Nigeria and beyond.
“Let it be clearly understood: Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is priceless, and no amount of blackmail, judicial rascality, or DSS-induced health crisis will be tolerated,” Powerful said.
Drawing a historical parallel, IPOB likened the situation to the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914, which sparked World War I. “History teaches bitter lessons,” the group warned, insisting that Kanu’s continued ill-treatment could have far-reaching consequences.
The group further demanded Kanu’s unconditional release and urged international organizations, human rights bodies, and the global community to intervene before matters escalate.
“The games being played with the life of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu are reckless, provocative, and unsustainable. Nigeria is sitting on a keg of gunpowder, and IPOB will not be held responsible for what happens if this provocation continues,” the statement added.
