Nnamdi Kanu’s family slams UK govt over silence on IPOB leader’s trial

Kanunta said UK’s silence over Kanu’s trial would not stop the actualization of the Biafra agitation.

He said the IPOB leader wouldn’t stop until his mission of actualizing Biafra is achieved.

Silence on Kanu’s case can’t stop what #MNK started.”

The UK has refused to intervene in Kanu’s trial despite pressure from his family and lawyers.
