Director of pirate radio, Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, was on Saturday, reportedly arrested by Nigeria secret police, the Department of State Services (DSS).

The Deputy Director of Radio Biafra, Uche Mefor, alongside other members of the group, in a marathon broadcast on the pirate radio, alleged that Kanu was arrested in Lagos by the security
operatives, as he flew into Nigeria from his base in the UK. Kanu is also acclaimed to be the Director of Biafra Television and the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

Uche Mefor emphatically expressed the family’s determination and resolve to carry on with the project of Biafra restoration.

“Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is and remains our Director and Leader of the struggle. Every structure of the IPOB remains intact. All family meetings must go on as usual. We enjoin all members and principal officers to stay active and never give up faith. If they think that detaining of the Director will shake our resolve, they better think again. Rather than discourage, it will spur us all the more to action.” Uche concluded.

Other Members of the Directorate of States took turns to expresse their commitment and loyalty to both the Biafran struggle and outright condemnation of the unwarranted detaining of the Director Radio Biafra. Notwithstanding the recent development, Radio Biafra and Biafra Television say they will continue with their broadcast as usual.
