UPDATE Tuesday July 6: The UK government has stepped in the case in which Nnamdi Kanu, a Nigerian leader, was allegedly captured and tortured in Kenya.

The UK Parliament is set to commence a debate on the abduction noting that the leader was travelling using a British Parliament.


Nigerians who are members of the Indigenous People of Biafra have been asked to boycott Kenyan products and services following the arrest of saga of Nnamdi Kanu.

Kennedy Ochi, who is the head of membership and mobilization in Australia, asked the Biafra people to boycott the country’s products and services.

Through his statement, he told the members of the Indigenous People of Biafra to boycott Kenyan airlines and products made in Kenya.

Through his statement, he asked President Uhuru Kenyatta to explain the role he played in the abduction of Kanu and how much he was allegedly paid to enable the extradition.

“It is our wish to notify the public that President Kenyatta Uhuru of Kenya has a question to answer on the role he played in the abduction of Mai Nnamdi Kanu. He betrayed our leader and must be held fully accountable for his atrocities,” part of the statement read as quoted by the Punch.

He added,” This is pure man’s inhumanity to man and he will tell all Biafrans how much he was paid to partake in this devilish act.”

“We, IPOB in Australia, support the leadership of IPOB worldwide and our able Directorate of States( Chika Edoziem) and the head of our Media and Publicity (Emma Powerful) to categorically state that all IPOB members both home and abroad should boycott traveling with Kenya Airways, stop patronizing any product made in Kenya and all businesses dealing with Kenyans, following their country’s betrayal. The battle line is drawn,” he stated.

Members of IPOB and Kanu’s family have maintained that he was arrested and extradited from Kenya despite Kenya denying its involvement in the saga.

Kanu fled from Nigeria in 2017 where he was faced with an 11-count charge of treason, terrorism, felony, and unwarranted possession of firearms.

Kanu disappeared in 2017 after being set free on bail. He was later spotted in Israel and then in the United Kingdom.

After his arrest, he was arraigned before a Federal High Court in Nigeria and remanded awaiting the hearing which has been pushed to July 26 and 27 2021.
