Members of the Indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB) across Europe, on Thursday, January 28 stormed Brussels, the capital of Belgium (the headquarters of the European Union parliament) venue for the European Union summit to protest the illegal detention of their leader and director of radio Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
The Biafra Times reports that the members came from Germany, Russia, Italy, Spain, Austria, Ukraine, Ireland, England, Sweden, Kosovo, Switzerland, Finland, Greece, Hungary and other countries in Europe.
The IPOB in Europe assembled in Brussels, Belgium in-front of the European Union headquarters where President Muhammadu Buhari is expected to address the parliament.
The IPOB members are protesting the illegal detention of their leader, Mazi Kanu who they said has committed no offense. They are demanding the unconditional release of Kanu and freedom for Biafra as an independent state.
Meanwhile, Kanu, has been in the confinement of the Department of State Security Service since October, 2015.
The IPOB leader has been arraigned before both Abuja chief magistrate court and Federal High courts on charges of belonging to an unlawful society, managing and coordinating the society and of recent for treasonable felony against the President of Nigeria from 2014 to date.
Kanu was granted bail by the Justice of the Abuja High court, but the DSS had since refused to obey court orders and release Kanu. He had remained in detention in defilement of court orders since December 17, 2015.
Meanwhile, Justice John Tsoho of the Federal High court in Abuja, in his ruling today, January 29, denied the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu bail pending his trial. Also in his ruling today, the court also denied bail to two other pro-Biafra agitators, Benjamin Madubugwu and David Nwawuisi, who are standing trial with Kanu.
