The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has threatened a one-month total lockdown in the South East, should the Federal Government fail to produce its detained leader, Nnamdi Kanu, in court on October 21 to continue his trial. xIt alleged yesterday that the government had perfected plans not to bring Kanu to court, but planned to keep him perpetually behind bars without trial to deaden the Biafra struggle. Meanwhile, Alaigbo Development Foundation (ADF), yesterday, filed an application before an Abia State High Court asking the court to intervene in Kanu’s fundamental rights suit pending before it. Among other reliefs, the suit seeks Kanu’s release from detention and payment of damages. The application, which was brought by ADF’s counsel, Max Ozoaka, is yet to be assigned for hearing.
