The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has directed its members to stop patronizing Kenyan Airways or the country’s products. The IPOB Head of membership and mobilisation in Australia, Kennedy Ochi, gave the directive in a statement on Sunday. The directive followed a claim by the group and family of its detained leader, Nnamdi Kanu, on his arrest by security agents last Sunday. Kanu’s younger brother, Kingsley, had said last week that the IPOB leader was arrested by security agents in Kenya, a claim that was corroborated by the group. However, the Kenyan government had denied any involvement in the activist’s arrest. In a statement issued on Friday, the Kenyan High Commissioner to Nigeria, Amb. Dr. Wilfred Machage, said his country does not want to be dragged into the country’s internal affairs. He said the claim was fictional, imaginary, and deliberately concocted to fuel antagonistic feelings among a certain section of the Nigerian people. The separatist leader was arraigned by the Federal Government on an 11-count charge of treason, treasonable felony, terrorism, and illegal possession of firearms at the Federal High Court, Abuja, on Tuesday.
