The embattled leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu has called on his supporters to be calm, peaceful and not kill.
He said this while suing for peace in the South-East region of the country after his bail application was denied by a federal high court judge presided over by Justice Binta Nyako on Tuesday.
Justice Nyako of the federal high court in Abuja dismissed the application on Tuesday June 28, describing it as an abuse of court process having been previously denied.
Speaking after the court judgement, Kanu urged the people of the Southeast to “remain calm” and make the zone peaceful.
According to him, “It is what we expect. But I want our people to be very calm. I want Biafranland to be calm, calm, and very peaceful. We are fighting to defend our people, not to kill them.
“We are fighting to defend them, that’s why I’m here. And we will continue to do so until we get victory.”
