The Indigenous People of Biafra , on Saturday , said it would stage fresh protests in 88 countries to compel the Federal Government to produce its leader , Nnamdi Kanu .

IPOB ’ s Media and Publicity Secretary , Emma Powerful , in a statement , noted that the group would mobilise forces in the countries for the protests .

He said the absence of its leader in the country did not mean that the struggle for Biafra was over.

The statement read in part , “It is a known fact that IPOB is rooted in every community and town in the South- South and South- East . Our presence is felt even in remote villages where IPOB family members are preaching the gospel of restoration of Biafra .

“So , rather than diminish , our influence is growing on a daily basis. Our positive impact resonates with the people . Our presence in over 88 countries of the world is a testament to our global influence .

“Everybody has come to the realisation that our leader is the only person that can make a difference that is capable of shaking the foundations of Nigeria . The marginalised and the oppressed all miss him . We are still conducting our meetings across the world and pursuing vigorously the liberation of the Biafran people . ”

He added , “We will continue our protests until the Nigerian Army releases our leader , Nnamdi Kanu , whom they kidnapped or presumably killed during the Operation Python Dance II in his hometown on September 14 , 2017 . ”
