TENSION LOOMS IN BIAFRA LAND

The International community, media and Human Rights organization have kept silent and pretended they are not aware of the evil been perpetrated against Biafrans. The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra and Director of Radio Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has been unlawfully incarcerated by the Nigeria Secret Service after his kidnap from his hotel room in Lagos.
President Muhammad Buhari of Nigeria in his usual dictatorial manner he exhibited in 1984 during his stint as Military Head of State has ordered a secret trial of Nnamdi Kanu in an Abuja Municipal Magistrate Court. He was charged with the ridiculous offenses of criminal conspiracy, managing and belonging to unlawful society and criminal intimidation contrary to sections 97,97b and 397 of the penal code (applicable in Northern Nigeria). The Presiding Magistrate of the court granted Nnamdi Kanu bail with stringent conditions including getting a civil servant of Grade level 16 that has a landed property within Abuja metropolis and in the sum of N10 million as his bail surety. The case has been adjourned to 18th of November 2015. Alex Salmond of Scotland and Arthur Mas of Catalonia are preaching and exercising their right to self-determination without harassment while Nnamdi Kanu of Biafra is been detained. Such a laughable judicial system! Irked by the continued detention of the Biafra leader,Biafrans went on a peaceful demonstration to register their grievances but were brutalized by the Nigeria Police.
What kind of reaction do you expect from youths whose mothers were molested and shot at because they were demanding peacefully for the release of Nnamdi Kanu? What kind of reaction do you expect from friends and brothers of a young man who has lost an eye or lying cold dead because he was participating in a peaceful protest interrupted by the Nigeria Police brutality? What kind of reaction do you expect from vibrant youths who are randomly arrested and molested by the Nigeria army because they are Biafrans? BokoHaram terrorists are been released and incorporated into Nigeria armed forces while peaceful Biafrans are been charged for "treason" because they participated in a peaceful demonstration. These ploys to frighten and intimidate Biafrans are realistically not working. The tension in Biafraland is gaining momentum everyday Nnamdi Kanu is in detention and may explode soon. Let no person(s), group(s) or organization(s) blame Biafrans when they charge forward like buffaloes against their oppressors. Let those who are sensible speak out now!
