POB PRESS RELEASE,
2nd July 2023.
IPOB leadership commends all loyal Comrades in the struggle as our protests and consultations in UK Parliament have started yielding fruits. IPOB has remained resolute in the pursuit of freedom of our leader, Mazi Nnamdi KANU, and Biafra restoration through legal and peaceful means. Our resilience and consistency is yielding fruit as some outstanding UK Parliament members MPs), Andrew Rosindell and his Co Conservatives are demanding answers from Commonwealth Office in UK as to why British citizen, the IPOB leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU is still languishing in the DSS solitary confinement in Abuja Nigeria.
IPOB commend the MPs and other UK citizens who has questioned the silence of British Government in demanding for the unconditional release of Mazi Nnamdi KANU who is illegally detained by Nigeria Government in DSS solitary confinement against all Court Orders.
We make public the written questions from some UK MPs to Foreign, Commonwealth Office for their answers as it concerns Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's illegal detention in Nigeria.

4. Question - Andrew Rosindell Conservative, Romford House of

This question is due for an answer by 3rd July, 2023 and to answered by Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office.
IPOB commends the activists and the freedom lovers behind this development in the UK Parliament. It is important that the UK Government shun trivial interest in Nigeria and ensure that they use their diplomatic clout to free their citizen Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from DSS dungeon Also, the UK Government ought to persuade the Nigeria government to ensure that Biafrans exercise their fundamental human right of self-determination by scheduling a date for the Biafra referendum which will be supervised by United Nations and including UK.
A prosperous and peaceful independent state of Biafra under the British citizen Mazi Nnamdi KANU will be of better benefit to the UK than a parasitic nation like Nigeria.
