Probe state-sponsored insecurity in Southeast – Nnamdi Kanu tells EU, US ahead of trial
The embattled leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, has called on the European Union, EU, and United States, US, to conduct an impartial investigation into state sponsored insecurity in the Southeast.
Kanu made the call during a meeting with his legal team to address Nigerian government’s alleged attempts to manipulate public opinion ahead of his trial on April 29, 2025.
He highlighted concerns over deliberate efforts to falsely link IPOB members to fabricated raids in Imo and Anambra States.
In a post by his Special Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, Kanu described these raids as state-sponsored tactics to deflect attention from global campaigns for his release.
According to Ejimakor: “Today, April 23, 2025, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu met with his legal team to address the Nigerian government’s alleged attempts to manipulate public opinion ahead of his trial on April 29, 2025.
“Onyendu MNK highlighted concerns over deliberate efforts to falsely link the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, to fabricated raids in Imo and Anambra, describing these as state-sponsored tactics to deflect attention from global campaigns for his release.
“In response, Kanu has instructed his lawyers to formally engage the United States and the European Union to conduct an impartial investigation into the wave of state-sponsored insecurity in Southeast Nigeria. We remain committed to truth and justice. #FreeNnamdiKanu.”
This comes as IPOB described the reports claiming that the Finnish government will extradite self-acclaimed Prime Minister of Biafra, Simon Ekpa to Nigeria to face terrorism charges as a manipulation ahead of Kanu’s trial.
IPOB claimed that the APC-led federal government’s manipulated false narrative was ill-timed, adding that Ekpa is not a member of the group.
It was widely reported that the Finnish authorities had confirmed that Ekpa will be extradited to Nigeria in July 2025 to face terrorism related charges.
The decision was said to have followed months of diplomatic negotiations and legal proceedings between Nigeria and Finland, marking a significant step in addressing the unrest linked to Ekpa’s activities in Nigeria’s southeast.
Ekpa was arrested in Lahti, Finland, in November 2024 by the Finish Police who accused him of using social media platforms to incite violence against Nigerians. Four others were also detained for allegedly financing his activities alongside Ekpa.
The Päijät-Häme District Court in Lahti finalized the extradition order on April 18, 2025, setting July 15 as the tentative date for Ekpa’s transfer to Nigeria.
