Binta Nyako and Nnamdi Kanu |

For Biafra Choice Writers
Nigeria, the expired country in the West Coast of
Africa, will be treating the world to another judicial abracadabra of a trial,
on Monday, October 17, 2017. On that date, one of its kangaroo courts, the Abuja
High, will open the phantom trial of innocent Biafrans, who had done nothing, than
that they flew Biafra flags and sang Biafra solidarity songs in public.
The absurdity of this trial is not only that the men
were being charged for flying Biafran flags in public and singing Biafra
solidarity songs; it is equally because they were being tried for treason that
carries as high as death sentence. And as if that is not enough, the trial will
commence without the prosecution tendering any evidence against the accused, as
well as not lining up any witnesses to testify against them. This is in spite
of the fact in its prosecution document; it claimed to have tapes and witnesses
to prove the allegations. But it had tendered none and lined up no witness.
What other trial can be more absurd than this.
It is time the world must stop keeping quiet, but
call Nigerian government and its judiciary to order. No organisation, group or
country will have anything to loss in this regard as Nigeria has nothing to
threaten them with. Whatever Nigeria is boasting of today, or has been boasting
with in the past, is from Biafraland – being oil and gas; manpower, or any
other natural resources – Biafra has it.
This is the time to pressure Nigeria to stop this
phantom trial of innocent Biafrans, and make sure that they release
unconditionally. Nigeria should be told in unmistakable terms that Biafrans
demanding the independence of their country from the expired country called Nigeria
are exercising their legitimate right.
It is a fact, and without any contradiction, that
Nigerian government has been aware of the hollowness of the charges it has
leveled against the Biafrans and has been trying frantically to find or event
evidence, to prosecute the case. That was why it has abducted Biafrans and
tortured many, hoping they would reveal anything implicating thing. They failed.
That was why they invaded the house of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of IPOB, killing
nothing less than 22 people, hoping they would find arms. But they failed
because there was none.
Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has been
peaceful, legal and none violent in its quest to restore the free and
independent state of Biafra. Biafrans are the ancient peoples inhabiting the
South-eastern part of West Africa (known also as the “Trigger of Africa”). They
have existed hundreds of years before the Britain cobbled a contraption called
Nigeria together by forcing indigenous peoples within its boundaries (Biafra
inclusive).
Ever since then, Biafrans have been resisting it
opting to stay out. But Nigerians have employed all wicked means to keep them
within the boundaries, even the political and economic strangulation as well as
torture and murder of the people.
