Biafra: Nnamdi Kanu an avalicious leader diverting over $30m contributed by Igbos
Radio Biafra said Kanu has been replaced by one Mazi Ezenwachukwu Sampson Okwudili.
Radio Biafra, an international media arm of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has announced the removal of Nnamdi Kanu as the director of the broadcast station and leader of IPOB.
The Radio was said to have disclosed this on Sunday, November 12, upon resumption of operations.
According to Daily Post, a lady presenter at the station who gave her name as Ifeoma Okorafor, said that Kanu was dismissed after "extensive and intensive consultations."
The presenter said Kanu has been replaced by one Mazi Ezenwachukwu Sampson Okwudili.
Giving reasons for Kanu's dismissal, she accused the embattled IPOB leader of "Personalisation of the Biafran struggle and derailing from the core objectives of IPOB as a grassroots movement."
Okorafor further said,
"Kanu’s actions and his decisions to incite members of IPOB towards
violence leading to the death of many innocent young people in Onitsha,
Aba and Umuahia is totally unacceptable and grossly irresponsible.

"Kanu
privately collected £14 million and another $22 million to purchase
landed properties abroad in his name and that of his father, Igwe Israel
Kanu, in a clear case of ‘monkey dey work baboon dey chop’.
"Kanu
turned our collective struggle into a money-making enterprise for
himself and his father. Thus the monies contributed by enterprising and
hard-working Igbo youths across the world are being collected and
converted by one man and his father while pretending to be sacrificing
for the cause.
"Upon his release
from detention in April 2017, one expected Kanu to drum up support for
the release of his colleagues and co-detainees such as Chidiebere
Onwudiwe, Benjamin Madubugwu and David Nwawuisi. These are our brothers
who were arrested at the same time with him and they should not be
forgotten. We hereby demand their release. Kanu, since his release, has
never spoken about them or appealed for the release of these our freedom
fighters. Instead, he has been going about collecting chieftaincy
titles and having a messianic swagger that even allowed full-blooded
Igbo men to kneel down and kiss his feet.
"Kanu
threw away the original meaning of our collective struggle for personal
gain and vain glorification. IPOB believes in democracy as a solid base
of any modern state, the rule of law, and will always reject violence
in all its ramifications."
Kanu's whereabouts has been unknown since the Nigerian army personnel allegedly invaded his home.
He is believed to have fled for fear of rearrest having breached the conditions upon which he was granted bail.
