‘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.
Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has expressed confidence in Nigeria’s security, saying he feels perfectly safe during his visit to the country. His remarks come amid ongoing reports of insecurity in various parts of Nigeria, making his statement a notable endorsement of the nation’s stability in certain regions.
Johnson made the declaration on Thursday, December 4, 2025, while addressing participants at the Imo State Economic Summit 2025 in Owerri, the state capital. He acknowledged having read travel advisories and news reports highlighting security concerns prior to his trip but said his experience has been reassuring.
He said he feels perfectly safe in the country and emphasized that the summit environment and local hospitality contributed to his sense of security. He also asked the audience if they felt safe, receiving an enthusiastic affirmation.
During his visit, Johnson commended Governor Hope Uzodimma and the Imo State Government for their development initiatives, particularly efforts to provide 24-hour electricity. He highlighted the potential of Nigeria as a hub for innovation and economic growth, noting the opportunities presented by emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence.
While his statements have been welcomed by some as a boost to international confidence in Nigeria, analysts caution that the former prime minister’s experience reflects only a controlled and secure environment within Imo State. Several parts of the country continue to face challenges, including banditry, communal conflicts, and kidnappings.
Nonetheless, Johnson’s visit and remarks are significant, sending a positive message to investors and global observers about Nigeria’s potential for stability and progress. They also underscore the contrast between localized experiences of safety and broader security challenges across the country.

The President of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote has assured Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State that his group will be one of the biggest investors in the state.
Dangote gave the assurance at the opening session of the Imo Economic Summit 2025 in Owerri on Thursday.
The renowned Africa’s industrialist urged Uzodimma to indicate his preferred area of investment and forget the rest.
Dangote described the Imo governor as a personal friend of decades and commended him for providing enabling environment for investment.
“We will be one of your biggest investors in Imo. So, please tell me the area to invest and we will invest”, Dangote declared.
He called on entrepreneurs to always invest at home, adding that foreigners cannot drive the economy of any nation more than the nationals.
“What attracts foreign investors is a domestic investor. Africa has about 30 percent of the world’s minerals. We are blessed,” he submitted.
Dangote reiterated that his refinery was set to launch 1.4 million barrels per day capacity, the highest for any single refinery in the world.
Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday declined to accept Prince Emmanuel Kanu’s appearance on behalf of his brother, Nnamdi Kanu, ruling that he is not a legal practitioner.
