IPOB condemns shutdown of Nnamdi Kanu’s Facebook page

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, have reacted to the shutting down of a Facebook page belonging to their leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

According to the group's media and publicity secretary, Emma Powerful, the page was taken down by Facebook Nigeria over fear of the growing popularity of Nnamdi Kanu.

He said the page was used by their leader to expose the atrocities done by the Nigerian government.

Powerful said, “We can confirm that Facebook Nigeria has shut down the page of our leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

“This is not unconnected with the fact that our leader’s page has become a rich resource for those determined to expose the evil regime in Nigeria and enthrone a better life for the masses.

“We mince no words when we say that Facebook Nigeria is more corrupt than the corrupt government they are seeking to protect.

“Biafra suffered immeasurably as a result of denial of media space in the late 60s, a situation we are not prepared to allow in this 21st century.”
