The leader of IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has distanced himself and his deputy, Uche Mefor, from a live transmission of Radio Biafra scheduled for this Sunday, March 19, in the Unites States of America.

According to Premium Times reports, the IPOB arrowhead who spoke through his lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, in a telephone chat with journalists on Sunday, said he was aware but never gave approval for the launch.

Radio Biafra was scheduled to go live in the US today, Sunday, March 19, 2017. This was revealed by Leonard Anemene, a leader of the group, in a statement released on Friday, March 17.

Anemene said that if not for some setbacks, the project would have taken off before now.

However, he refused to say the exact location where the station will be broadcasting from.

Kanu said on Sunday “Radio Biafra has approval and authorization to set up in America according to the U.S. laws.

“But neither me nor my deputy, Uche Mefor, gave approval for it to go on air today in America.”

Kanu is at present being tried by the federal government of Nigeria for treason based on his founding of IPOB, creation of Radio Biafra, and his cry for an independent Biafran state.

However, the group’s spokesman, Emma Powerful, said it is optimistic that their tormented leader will be set free on Monday, March 20, 2017.

The IPOB in a statement, says it believes the Justice Binta Nyako-led court will quash the outstanding charges against its leader and others because they are not guilty.

The Biafran agitation group also call on Igbos from all section of life to demonstration solidarity by storming the Federal High court to watch live, the prospective release of Kanu and others.

The statement states: “The court case that is coming up this Monday in the Federal High Court, Abuja is between our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and federal government of Nigeria on the concocted charge of treasonable felony without proof or evidence.

“Nigeria has the dubious distinction of being the only contraption on earth where those that hold opposing views to that of the government are locked up on the grounds of being treasonous yet no single evidence to back up the claim."
