The Indigenous People of Biafra on Friday said international observers
would monitor the court session of their leader, Nnamdi Kanu, coming up
on January 10, 2017. The group called on its supporters and freedom fighters to be in court that day to see things for themselves.
In a press statement made available to our correspondent in Awka,
Anambra State by IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful,
the group said among those that would observe the court session in Abuja
were International Human Rights Groups, International Media
organisations, and other foreign observers.
The group maintained that it had concluded arrangements with such foreign bodies.
The statement read in part, “All Indigenous People of Biafra family
members are expected to be in Abuja on that day 10th of January 2017.
“This is to let the world know how formidable and resolute we are

remind the world that the restoration of our God-given nation called
Biafra is irreversible and on course.
“Therefore, we are expecting the entire members of the Indigenous People
of Biafra and Biafrans that reside in Abuja and its environs to be in
court on that fateful day in Abuja to witness the court proceedings of
the case between our leader and Muhammadu Buhari….”
