The Indigenous People of Biafra has dissociated itself from the Biafra National Guard. This comes after the Nigerian Army said on Thursday night, October 28, that its troops conducting 'Exercise Golden Dawn' have neutralized one of the Biafran National Guard (BNG) gunmen (pictured below) who attacked troops’ location at Amaekpu, Ohafia Local Government Area of Abia State on Thursday 28 October 2021.   IPOB's spokesman, Emma Powerful, has however said that its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, does not accept criminal acts, hence there is no link between the IPOb and the BNG.   The statement read in part, “We the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra ably led by our prophet and indefatigable leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu wish to alert IPOB families worldwide and the international community that we do not know of a group called Biafra National Guard and should not be linked in a shape or form with this group whose activities do not correspond with IPOB’S fundamental obje...

With one week to the November 6 governorship election in Anambra State, the Independent National Electoral Commission on Friday said 86 out of the 5,720 Polling Units in the state have no voters. The commission, however, said it would not deploy personnel and materials to the polling units without voters. The chairman of INEC, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, said this at a special consultative meeting with political parties in Abuja. According to him, 894 representing 15.6 per cent of the polling units have between 1 and 49 voters. Yakubu said, “Understandably, the voters have also been more circumspect in asking for a transfer to polling units. At the same time, the commission did not use its powers under Section 42 of the Electoral Act 2010 (as amended) to allot voters to the new polling units to minimise the disruptions that may occur from such a decision given the forthcoming governorship election. “Consequently, out of the 5,720 polling units in Anambra State, 86; 1.5 per cent have no voter...

Victor Osimhen’s   transfer to Napoli is at the centre of an investigation after an internal body of the Italian Football Federation, the Supervisory Commission on Professional Football Clubs, passed on a report to the Italian FA regarding suspicious transfer activities in the last two years. The report focused on 62 transfers that took place between 2019 and 2021, with a focus on player exchanges and recorded profits. The Nigeria international has been in fine form for Luciano Spaletti’s side this term, scoring nine goals in 11 games, after having had to endure a torrid debut season but the latest report comes as bad news. Football Italia claimed the Prosecutor’s Office of the Italian Football Federation is looking into the much-maligned swap deal involving the player and some other transfers. “COVISOC has informed the FIGC of possible capital gains by inflated valuations, highlighting, among others, Victor Osimhen’s move from LOSC Lille to Napoli and Juventus’ exchange deal with ...

It had been Mr. Lui’s mom who had set up the meeting after becoming concerned about her son's lack of dating life.   In a hope to impress his date, Mr. Lui had agreed to pay for the meal, not realizing that her entire extended family would be joining them.   However, seeing the number of people the woman brought, the man abandoned her with the hefty $3,100 bill, refusing to pay for her family member's meal.     The woman explained to local media that she had wanted to test her date’s generosity before committing to a relationship.   The woman's story was shared on Weibo where it went viral and attracted over 260 million views, ...

Colombia's most-wanted drug trafficker has finally been captured after evading arrest for more than a decade. Dairo Antonio Usuga David, known by his alias Otoniel, is accused of sending dozens of shipments of cocaine to the United States and orchestrating a ruthless drugs empire, killing police officers, recruiting minors, and sexually abusing children among other crimes. He was arrested on Saturday October 23, in the Uraba region of Colombia when a military force of over 500 soldiers descended on his jungle hideout, marking the culmination of a decade-long manhunt dubbed operation 'Osiris'.     Colombian President Ivan Duque likened the arrest of Otoniel, 50, to the capture three decades ago of another drug lord Pablo Escobar, who managed to evade authorities and retain his freedom for over 10 years.  This is the biggest blow against drug trafficking in our country this century,' Duque said during a broadcast video message. 'This blow is only comparable to the fal...

The United Kingdom has stated that it is taking steps to secure consular access to the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, almost four months since he was arrested and detained by the Department of State Services (DSS).   Responding to Daily Sun’s enquiry regarding the ongoing trial of Kanu, Head of Communications, British High Commission, Abuja, Dean Hurlock, said the UK government does not comment on ongoing legal proceedings but that the British High Commission was in contact with the Federal Government, Kanu’s family and his legal team. “We are in regular contact with the Nigerian authorities and remain in contact with his family and legal representatives. We are taking steps to secure consular access.” Kanu is standing trial before Justice Binta Nyako on charges bordering on terrorism, treasonable felony and incitement.

  As Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB members continue in their struggle for the creation of Biafra, singer Speed Darlington has said that he doesn't want to belong to a country of only Igbo people.    The singer stated this during an exchange with an Instagram user who took to his page to warn him against speaking ill of Nnamdi Kanu. Recall that a few days ago, Speed Darlington had frowned at the constant sit-at-home order issued by IPOB members. He opined that the directive had an adverse effect on people of the SouthEast who are forced to close their shops any day the directive is issued. Responding to the IG user who gave him a warning not to speak against Kanu, Speed Darlington opined that the diversity of Nigeria is what makes us interesting and that he doesn't want a country where two or one language only will be spoken.   SEE THEIR EXCHANGE BELOW:    

  With a 12-day ultimatum handed the Federal Government by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) for the “unconditional release” of their leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, failure of which the November 6 governorship election in Anambra State may not hold, the stage appears set for a seven-day lockdown of the South East Zone. And the group has also warned residents of the zone against flouting the impending sit-at-home directive, stressing that doing so amounts to testing the resolve of the people on the Biafra project. According to it, shutting down the area for “just for one week to secure our permanent freedom” is not such a high price to pay since “we have been enslaved and caged enough by the Fulani-controlled Federal Government of Nigeria and its allies.” IPOB’s threat notwithstanding, political parties participating in the election are unperturbed about the threat from the secessionist group over the election, even as they insist that nothing would derail the process, especially si...

The Nigerian Communications Commission has said there is a new, high-risk and damaging malware, called ‘Flubot’, targeting Android devices with fake security updates and application installations. According to the commission, a malware is a generic word used to describe a virus or software, designed specially to disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorized access to a device. In a statement signed by the Director, Public Affairs, Ikechukwu Adinde, it said it was acting on information received from the Nigeria Computer Emergency Response Team. The NCC said, “The ngCERT affirmed that Flubot impersonates Android mobile banking applications to draw fake web views on targeted applications and its goal transcends stealing personal data and essentially targets stealing of credit card details or online banking credentials. “FluBot is circulated through Short Message Service and can snoop on incoming notifications, initiate calls, read or write SMSes, and transmit the victim’s contact list to its cont...

There was outrage yesterday as the report of the Federal Government’s 24-man committee blamed the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, for the murder of Dr. Chike Akunyili, Ahmed Gulak and 177 others in the South east zone. The panel also linked Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo (a.k.a Sunday Igboho) to a Boko Haram sponsor, Surajo Muhammad, who was sentenced to life imprisonment in the United Arab Emirates for financing terrorism. Apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohaneeze Ndigbo, IPOB, Afenifere Renewal Group, Yoruba Council of Elders (YCE), Yoruba Ronu and the Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA), all condemned the report, describing it as incoherent, untenable and outright falsehood. The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister for Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), made the allegations, yesterday, while reading out findings of the Presidential committee set up to investigate Igboho and Kanu. THE ALLEGATIONS ARE ...
