Princewill Chimezie Richards, leader of the Biafra Nations League (BNL) on Saturday slammed some proponents of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) who he said ‘prefers that their leader, Nnamdi Kanu, remain in detention and stay like late Nelson Mandela’.
Newsbreak.ng reports that according to Richards, separatists with such wish are “wicked”.
Kanu has been in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) in Abuja since his rearrest in Kenya in June 2021.
Richards also said he is not afraid of being rearrested, and is always “prepared for the unforeseen circumstances”.
“It is only the wicked in IPOB who wants their leader to remain in prison and stay like Mandela. The pressure everyone is mounting for his release is to ensure people like Governor Charles Soludo and other Igbo leaders step up to his case, and speak with the Federal Government, otherwise nobody can go and blow up his cell in DSS,” Richards wrote on his known Facebook page.
“Just as some idiots on my list are saying that I’m moving freely, I haven’t been arrested for the third time, they want me sent to prison and stay like Mandela then they will believe we are not agent of DSS, they’re under witchcraft, evil people everywhere.
“If you are among those wishing everyone of us to go to prison and stay while your duty is to rant online, you are a witch, we must be free to continue the struggle, otherwise some of you can’t do what we are doing, but if eventually we are arrested and kept there, fine, we hold up to our fate because we are prepared for the unforeseen circumstances.
“I’m reacting to the press statement by DOS of IPOB, I’m not against their decision, because I’m not a member of IPOB, it is their decision and how they want it, my opinion is if Soludo has promise to do something, talk with FG to release Kanu and has promised them (DOS) that, and they’re convinced then it is in their own power to suspend operations as they have done, however, they will be dragging themselves to the mud if the agreement is not with conditions and deadline, if the deadline elapses and nothing happens, you have the right to resume action, in a civil war there is always a temporal ceasefire agreement, so I won’t say there is foul play until things begins to unfold.
“However, the DOS must stop attacking other groups who subscribe to their own methods of mounting pressure, those groups are not IPOB but they’re formidable and are mounting pressure outside sit at home, not all the time they come out “We are not part of them” “they’re on their own”, that’s an act weakness..
“We know most of our elites are cowards, but without their intervention, it will be difficult for Buhari to release Kanu, take it or leave it, just that most of these Igbo leaders are not trustworthy, but it is left Kanu to choose if to accept any condition for negotiation or not, this is his personal decision.
“I explained how I was released twice from detention by a top government official from Akwa Ibom, though no negotiations because I wasn’t moved to Abuja, they quenched the case within Calabar, if I had been insulting him publicly like most of you fools do to some innocent Igbo elders, maybe he wouldn’t have interceded for me, and none of you would have influenced my release.
“It doesn’t matter how one is released, just act like fool when you are in the hands of the enemy, get out from there first, and continue with the struggle, it is only when you stop after your release we will know that you have collected cake.
“Those whose brain has been mixed with pap are the ones wishing we stay for ages in prison. Evil people.”
