\n
Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has called on the United Nations to prevail on President Muhammadu Buhari to release the convener of #Revolution now#, Omoyele Sowore and the Shiites leader, Sheikh El-Zakzaky.<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n
IPOB\u2019s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, said the demand formed part of the issues Kanu raised in a meeting with UN agencies recently.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Powerful said that the Rural Grazing Area (RUGA) settlement was also raised in the UN meeting.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
According to him, Kanu\u2019s struggle to liberate his people had grown beyond Nigeria; the issues are before the various arms and agencies of the United Nations.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cBiafra\u2019s case will no longer be ignored; it has been internationalised.,\u2019\u2019 Powerful said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He added that Kanu demanded urgent action against the numerous rights abuses inflicted on his people and the need to support the undeniable right of the Biafran people to self-determination as enshrined in laws, statutes and UN conventions.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cEvery issue concerning our people is now before the various arms and agencies of the United Nations. Our case will no longer be ignored.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe case of RUGA settlement was also raised in the meeting.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cIncessant killing of Biafrans in their own land by terrorist Fulani herdsmen, extortion and killing of Biafran motorcyclists and commercial drivers by Nigerian army and police over refusal to give N50 bribery,\u2019\u2019 the statement noted.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Powerful said Kanu was accompanied by his deputy, Uche Mefor, Head of Directorate of State, Mazi Chika Edozien and others.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
