Published On the Biafra Post
May 12,2025

The esteemed family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) informs Biafrans, supporters of Biafra, and advocates for Biafra freedom that May 30th, 2025, is now designated a public holiday and a lockdown throughout Biafra Land in honor and commemoration of Biafra heroes and heroines who made the ultimate sacrifice for our present existence.

The public holiday and lockdown is an annual Memorial and Remembrance Day for Biafra Heroes and Heroines among Biafrans. Anticipation has begun as of May 1, 2025, with broadcasts from Radio Biafra and media awareness efforts by the IPOB media team. This month, IPOB will involve our audioence in memorial lectures honoring Biafran heroes, both at home and abroad, just like in earlier years. The peak of the yearly memorial and remembrance event will occur on may 30th, 2025, known as the BIAFRA HEROES MEMORIAL DAY. It is a day designated by IPOB for Biafrans to commemorate and pay tribute to our heroes, heroines, and those who sacrificed their lives in the struggle for Biafra's liberation and independence. The IPOB leadership has announced that May 30, 2025, will be a free day, marking a total lockdown for Biafrans residing in Biafran Land.

Biafrans residing in Biafra Land should observe a lockdown to pay tribute to those who battled and perished in the Nigeria genocidal war against Biafra while Biafrans fought for our independence. We need to commemorate them by spending one day indoors. We urge all Biafrans and every advocate of freedom in Biafra Land to comply with this one-day lockdown directive on May 30, 2025. All IPOB family members in their various countries must organize and obtain permits to demonstrate against the unlawful imprisonment of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and the illegal detention of Nnamdi Kanu in Nigeria. NOTICE! (No protests will take place in Biafra or anywhere in Nigeria to prevent being harmed by the lethal Nigerian Security Forces).

Biafrans abroad will gather in the streets of their host countries or organize town hall meetings to express their support in honoring our fallen heroes and advocating for the restoration of Biafra. IPOB and Ndigbo across the globe will pay tribute to all our fallen heroes and heroines, including our everlasting leader the late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, Gen Phillip Efiong, Chief Dr Frank Opigo, Commander Ikonso, and numerous others who significantly contributed and fought to avert the genocide and destruction of Biafrans by the Nigerian and British governments along with their allied forces. Every year on May 30th is a significant day for all Biafrans. It is a public holiday for every citizen and non-citizen of Biafra living in Biafra territory.

According to these directives, with the exception of critical and emergency personnel such as ambulance drivers, police officers, nurses, doctors, firefighters, journalists, and NUPENG, are permitted to work that day, while other forms of movement are banned on the streets of Biafra from 6 AM to 6 PM on that day. All transportation by road, air, and sea is prohibited from 6 to 6 on May 30, 2025, which includes no human movement within our territory. There will be no school, no community meetings, no religious services, no opening of markets and stores, and no public assemblies of any kind. Simply stay inside and enjoy television and videos with your family while contemplating the memories and the genocide inflicted upon Biafrans from 1967 to the present day. It is a day for families to recount their experiences of the Biafran genocidal war from 1967 to 1970 and the ongoing victimization, destruction, and marginalization of the Ndigbo within Nigeria.

IPOB has already contacted WAEC, the West African Examination Council, to inform them of the lockdown directive in Biafran Land on the 30th of May, so they can modify the May/June SSSE exams schedule to serve all students. Messages have also been dispatched to the Governors in the South East and South South Regions to notify them that we will remember and pay tribute to our heroes and heroines who sacrificed everything for us with a lockdown mandate on May 30, 2025.

IPOB implemented the lockdown directive due to the Nigerian violent government attacking and killing numerous Biafrans who assembled to honor our heroes in Biafra Land in previous years. We recommend that everyone refrain from going outside and remain indoors in your homes on May 30th to steer clear of gunfire from the ethnic prejudice of the Nigerian Police and Military, who will be present on the streets of Biafra seeking any chance to unjustly shed the blood of innocent Biafrans. If you decide to ignore this lockdown order, whatever occurs to you, please hold no one responsible.

IPOB prioritizes the well-being of Ndigbo and has discovered methods to prevent the Nigerian State from killing our people as we continue to remember and celebrate our heroes.

All transporters must refrain from using the roads on Friday, May 30, 2025.

IPOB Press release 
Published on the Biafra Post 
May 10, 2025 


The esteemed family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) globally denounce what can be termed as State-sponsored terrorist assaults on civilians along the Okigwe-Owerri road in Imo State on May 8, 2025. Simultaneously, we denounce all forms of media extortion aimed at IPOB and ESN, especially from Amnesty International Nigeria, for alleging and highlighting IPOB and ESN as offenders of those crimes.

It is truly tragic that the Nigerian government has repeatedly conducted terrorist attacks against its own people merely to coerce IPOB. Since 2021, the Nigerian State has funded numerous violent criminal acts in the South East Region, using the media to attribute these assaults to IPOB and ESN to evade investigations. Included in those violent events was the Owerri prison escape, which went on for more than four hours without any response from security forces, despite the multitude of Nigerian security personnel present in and around the Owerri area. The political assassination of Alhaji Gulak in Owerri, who was invited to the State by Governor Hope Uzodinma without providing him security, indicates that the government orchestrated his murder in Imo State.

The hiring of offenders who agressively upheld the notorious sit-at-homes and devastated the Orsu community and beyond. The Imo State Governor's recruitment of criminals under the guise of Ebubagu and Asawana (Asari Dukubo militia) has resulted in the extrajudicial killings of numerous Igbo youths. The deceptive operation by the Nigerian military in Aba on Biafra Heroes Day, May 30, 2024, led to the deaths of 4 Igbo soldiers who were utilized as sacrificial victims. The alleged murder of 30 individuals and torching of vehicles belonging to people along the Okigwe-Owerri road in Imo State on May 8th, 2025 is a scam by Nigeria government and Amnesty International Nigeria joining together to ambush IPOB and ESN operatives locally and internationally. 

In all these violent offenses, the Nigerian government and the biased media in Nigeria attribute everything to IPOB and ESN which Amnesty International follows for monitory reward from Nigeria government and Imo State government. However, as a peaceful self-determination movement, we have separated ourselves from all these claims and Amnesty International cannot claim that they don't know that IPOB and ESN members were  not  involved  in the killing  and  insecurity  going  on  since 2021 till  today. We are guiltless of every allegation. We have similarly requested that international and independent investigative bodies be brought in to examine all these offenses. Regrettably, the Nigerian government and its violent security forces have never carried out any inquiry into the offenses. They blame IPOB and ESN for all their wrongdoings simply to evade scrutiny since the state is involved or plays a key role in these offenses.

IPOB has faced numerous state-sponsored media assaults and extortion from various compromised media outlets in Nigeria, which has turned into a method for them to profit from the corrupt Nigerian government. As a dedicated and accountable movement, we have protected ourselves by exposing all their fabrications in the media and their created deceptions. Nonetheless, the recent report by Amnesty International, Nigeria, labeling IPOB and ESN as the culprits behind the Okigwe arson attack on innocent Biafran individuals and their properties demonstrates the exent of deceit afflicting that once-revered Human Rights organization today because of its ties to the corrupt Nigerian government. It is concerning that a supposed Human Rights Organization such as Amnesty International Nigeria would stoop so low as to align with blackmailers against ESN by using media manipulation to undermine the innocent Vigilante, allowing Fulani terrorists to invade Ndigbo unopposed. With this development, Amnesty International Nigeria has diminished its credibility as a reliable Human Rights Organization.

They have become entangled in the corruption and bribery of the Nigeria system. 

They have become entangled in the corruption and bribery of the Nigerian government and are now opposing free press. Unfortunately, the Nigerian government has acquired numerous institutions in Nigeria solely to maintain the media attacks against IPOB. Amnesty International's involvement with this corrupt coalition of organizations to extort IPOB and its vigilante groups is a shame for the Human Rights community and a disgrace to themselvs. The Amnesty International Nigeria will face disgrace for aligning with those compensated both locally and globally. If Amnesty International Nigeria were free from any corruption, this esteemed Human Rights Organization would have demanded an independent inquiry into these horrific terrorist assaults on civilians before linking IPOB and ESN members and might not have rushed to conclusions like other closely controlled Nigerians coalition  groups against IPOB and ESN have never targeted our recognized adversaries, much less harm innocent individuals traveling from Okigwe to Owerri within our region. All media assaults utilizing human rights groups such as Amnesty International to compel IPOB to yield are ineffective from the start. We will proceed with the aspect of truth. We will persist in demanding an independent inquiry into all state-sponsored covert violent acts against civilians in the South East Region. We additionally urge Amnesty International to enlist independent investigative teams that are committed to examining the attacks in Okigwe. They will be embarrassed for bringing up IPOB and ESN, as the Nigerian government lacks sincerity. Independent inquiries into all violent crimes in the South East Region should be permitted, including those involving the deadly Fulani terrorists. IPOB and ESN swore to safeguard Biafran lives and assets rather than to harm them. We urge the Nigerian government to cease the killing and destruction of innocent lives merely for the purpose of blackmail and demonize IPOB and ESN.  

IPOB and ESN pledged to safeguard Biafran lives and properties and not to harm them. We urge the Nigerian government to cease the killing and devastation of innocent lives merely to blackmail and vilify IPOB and ESN. We will not yield to any type of extortion. The sole answer to the Biafra agitation is an open dialogue regarding Biafra's freedom or a referendum, rather than through violence or staged false flag operations.

Published on the Biafra Post 
May 8, 2025 

In a courtroom pulsing with anticipation and emotion, the trial of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu resumed today—one of Nigeria’s most watched and controversial legal sagas in recent memory.

The highlight of the day came as the prosecution played an audio-visual recording of the IPOB leader. In it, Mazi Kanu spoke with characteristic defiance and deep conviction:

> “Nobody can stop us. Ojukwu said it long ago—we are unstoppable, and our enemies know this. We are sensitizing our people.”

His words rang out with clarity—and controversy. The courtroom fell silent as he delved into the historical trauma of the Igbo people, describing how they were scattered across Nigeria in a calculated move to fragment their unity.

A key prosecution witness explained the purpose of the video: to confirm whether Mazi Kanu actually made these statements, and if so, whether they could be linked to the unrest in the South-East.

A Tense Interview, An Emotional Rebuttal

The video cut to a fiery interview segment.

Interviewer: “You said, ‘Kill them!’”
MNK: “Would you support security agents killing people?”
Interviewer: “No.”

When asked about the controversial sit-at-home order on May 30, Kanu pushed back:

> “You’re ascribing powers to me that I do not have. Is it when I say ‘let there be light,’ that there would be light?”

The witness claimed the broadcast had incited mass compliance with the sit-at-home, allegedly leading to some deaths. The prosecution also raised the 2021 assassination of Ahmed Gulak, but Justice Omotosho quickly responded:

> “I do not have such a name here. It is not on the record.”

Kanu Speaks on Protest, Misinterpretation, and Invasion of His Home

Kanu, calm but intense, used the video to explain how his messages are often misinterpreted:

> “It is up to people how they understand or incorporate directives. Everyone acts based on their own understanding.”
“Nobody is insane or mad—so why the obsession with killing? In a democracy, people must have channels to express their grievances—one of which is protest.”

Intervivier: If you said you are not the one giving people order to bur*n  down everywhere and Simon ekpa is not working for you.

How do you communicate to the people?

MNK: We have D.O.S in IPOB , There you have all the structures that over sees the day to day activities of IPOB that I leads including the spokes man 

In one emotional moment, he was asked about his past, his life after Nigeria, and his current activities abroad.

Interviewer: “Where have you been, and what were you doing there?”
Kanu: “That’s my business.”

He didn’t mince words when asked about the Eastern Security Network:

> “They are in the bushes protecting our people—especially our mothers in the farms.”

But it was his reflection on the 2017 military invasion of his family home that brought a moment of raw emotion:

> “The invasion of my house was unnecessary. I was in touch with respected Igbo leaders. Whoever authorized that attack is the real enemy.”

The video ended. And with that, the courtroom exhaled.

More Evidence and Tense Exchanges

The prosecution moved swiftly, submitting a letter from the Attorney General's office as Exhibit G. It was read aloud in court. When asked for a response, Kanu declined:

> “I do not wish to make any statement.”

The judge ordered that only listed individuals remain in the courtroom, warning others of possible contempt charges.

A Witness Makes Explosive Claims

The prosecution's second witness, identified as PW2-BBB, made bold and sweeping allegations. He claimed Kanu was the mastermind behind the establishment of Radio Biafra and the ESN. He also alleged Kanu incited the burning of several national institutions during the 2020 EndSARS protests—including the Lagos High Court, Ilasamaja Police Station, and even the Murtala Mohammed Airport.

According to the witness, Kanu:

Encouraged violent attacks on security agents

Enforced illegal sit-at-home orders

Criticized Ahmed Gulak shortly before his assassination

Identified several states as part of a proposed Biafra Republic

As his testimony ended, the defense requested a pause.

Defense Pushes Back: “We Need Time”

The defense team asked for more time to prepare for cross-examination, arguing that Friday would be too soon. They emphasized the need to verify the witness’ claims—particularly whether the violence and deaths mentioned were direct consequences of Kanu’s broadcasts or other unrelated factors.

While the prosecution advocated for an accelerated hearing, the judge ultimately agreed to a short delay.

Final Ruling

Justice Omotosho adjourned the case to May 14, 21, and 22, 2025, setting the stage for another round in this high-stakes legal battle.

As the court drama unfolds, what remains clear is this: the fate of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu continues to stir emotions, divide opinions, and shine a light on the deeper political tensions in Nigeria’s Southeast.
