‘Nnamdi Kanu is dying’ – BRGIE goes against Anambra election
The Simon Ekpa-led Biafra Republic Government in Exile has commenced another round of civil disobedience in protest of the prolonged detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
The pro-Biafra movement is now asking residents to boycott the Anambra guber election on November 8, 2025.
Further BRGIE has also declared a three-day sit-at-home in south-east Nigeria over the continued detention of Kanu.
In a statement on Wednesday by its acting Prime Minister, Ogechukwu Nkere, the group said the sit-at-home would hold on November 6, 7, and 8, 2025, respectively.
Ekwutosblog reports that the sit-at-home is believed to be an attempt to frustrate the Anambra governorship election.
BRGIE noted that Biafrans remained resolute on their exit from Nigeria.
According to the pro-Biafra agitator, the decision is based on the Nigerian security agency’s alleged denial of Nnamdi Kanu’s access to medical attention and the imprisonment of its prime minister, Simon Ekpa, in Finland.
BRGIE commended the United States of America President, Donald Trump, for declaring Nigeria a ‘Country with Particular Concerns’ over alleged Christian genocide.
It noted that the next move is for the US under President Trump to sanction the Nigerian government and leaders.
“The Biafra Republic Government In Exile (BRGIE) wishes to remind all Biafrans and Nigerian politicians parading themselves in old Anambra that the Biafra de facto government in the homeland of Biafra had issued no elections in Nigeria in Anambra on lockdown 6, 7 and 8 November 2025.
“Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of Biafra, was kidnapped in Kenya & died in DSS detention as they denied him access to medical facilities because Biafrans had voted to exit Nigeria and unanimously declared their independence on 2nd December 2024 in Lahti, Finland.
“Prime Minister Simon Ekpa has been imprisoned by Finland through the efforts of Igbo politicians working with the Nigerian government and the European Commission.
“Any attempt to conduct this illegality in Biafran territory will meet a brick wall from the Biafran people.
“If the American lawmakers and President Donald Trump could place importance on our lives in the southeastern part of Nigeria, the Biafra Territory, by listening to our pleas in Washington, D.C., through our lobbying efforts of BRGIE, by finally applying sanctions & measures against the Nigerian Islamic state, yet our own corrupt politicians working for their personal and family pockets care less, which means we have to send them out to join the Boko Haram sects in Sambisa Forest.
“50,048,916 numbers of Biafrans voted yes to exit Nigeria in our 2024 concluded self-referendum, and 517 delegates ratified the Declaration of Independence restoration of Biafra on 2nd December 2024. We are going forward & not backwards. There will be no Nigerian elections in Anambra because this is Biafran territory.
“The Biafra Republic Government in Exile and De Facto in Homeland hereby appreciates President Donald Trump and the U.S. lawmakers for designating Nigeria as a country of particular concern.
“This is just the beginning of the steps to wiping out the Islamic jihadist terrorists. We have achieved our first mandates in Washington, D.C., and the next is to sanction and ban all politicians involved in the forceful disappearances, massacres, genocide, and also the kidnapping of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
“Kidnapping Mazi Nnamdi Kanu can’t stop Biafra, imprisoning Simon Ekpa can’t stop Biafra, as Nigeria can see now that BRGIE is gaining more momentum than before and the sky is our limit on Biafra independence,” BRGIE said in the statement.
Recall that last week, Trump threatened possible military action against Nigeria over the alleged killing of Christians.
Nigeria’s electoral body, the Independent National Electoral Commission, has announced November 6, 2025, for the Anambra guber election.

Fuel price hike: Gov Makinde announces N10,000 transport support for workers
The governor of Oyo state, Seyi Makinde, has approved a N10,000 transportation allowance as a palliative for the state workforce to cushion the effects of the increase in the pump price of Premium Motor Spirit, otherwise known as petrol.
The Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Oyo State chapter, Kayode Martins, in a statement released on Monday, March 23, disclosed that the governor has granted the request of the union on the issue of transportation allowance.
The statement read
“Following the intervention and formal request made by the State Council of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) earlier this morning, the state government has approved a N10,000 transportation allowance for all workers in the state.
The newly approved allowance is set to take effect from April 2026, providing much-needed relief to workers grappling with rising transportation costs amid current economic challenges.
This development comes as a direct response to sustained advocacy by the state NLC, aimed at cushioning the impact of increased living expenses on the workforce.
Further details on implementation are expected to be communicated by the relevant government authorities in due course.”

Former Acting Accountant-General of the Federation bags 72years imprisonment for diverting N868.46 million security funds
Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja, on Monday, March 23, convicted and sentenced Chukwunyere Nwabuoku, former acting Accountant-General of the Federation (AGoF), to a 72-year jail term without an option of fine.
DailyTrust reports that in the judgment delivered, Justice Omotosho held that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had been able to prove the nine-count money laundering charge beyond reasonable doubt.
According to the judge, the defendant is hereby convicted as charged.
Justice Omotosho convicted Nwabuoku in all the nine counts and sentenced him to eight years imprisonment in each of the counts, making 72 years.
The judge, however, ordered that the counts shall run concurrently.
Justice Omotosho, who described Nwabuoku’s act of diverting funds meant for security and defence while he served as Director of Finance and Account in the Ministry of Defence as “appalling,” commended the EFCC for being detailed in its prosecution.
The judge observed that the evidence of the 9th prosecution witness that Nwabuoku voluntarily refunded part of the siphoned money of over N200 million during investigation was not controverted by the defence.
Nwabuoku served as the Director of Finance and Accounts in the Ministry of Defence between 2019 and 2021. He became acting Accountant General of the Federation in May 2022.
