OHANAEZE NDIGBO WORLDWIDE:
OFFICIAL PRESS STATEMENT

RE: NDIGBO AFFIRMS CONTINUED RECOGNITION OF MAZI NNAMDI KANU AS IPOB’S CENTRAL LEADERSHIP FIGURE, DISMISSES PURPORTED SUSPENSION AS INVALID AND MISLEADING

JUNE 19, 2026

PREAMBLE:

The Apex Sociocultural Organization of Ndigbo Worldwide, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, has taken due cognizance of recent reports and circulating claims regarding an alleged suspension of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from his recognized leadership standing within the Indigenous People of Biafra.

The organization notes with concern the misinformation, tension, and apprehension generated by such reports across communities within Igboland and the diaspora, necessitating this clear and authoritative clarification.

*ON THE PURPORTED SUSPENSION*

After careful review and consultation within its constitutional mandate as an impartial cultural institution, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide states unequivocally that:

The alleged suspension of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is not recognized, not validated, and holds no institutional or communal legitimacy within its purview.

The claims attributed to certain individuals or aggrieved members, including Chika Edozien and associates, are regarded as unofficial and incapable of altering established recognitions or ongoing engagements.

Accordingly, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu remains a central and widely acknowledged leadership figure associated with the Indigenous People of Biafra, Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

*COMMITMENT TO PEACE AND STABILITY IN IGBOLAND*

Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide expresses deep concern that internal disagreements within any organized structure have the potential to destabilize the fragile peace currently being enjoyed across the Southeast region.

For nearly eleven months, Igboland has witnessed a gradual but significant return to stability, reflected in:

Renewed agricultural activities across rural communities

Restoration of cultural festivals and traditional gatherings

Revival of commercial and economic engagements

Increased confidence from local and external investors

These gains remain delicate and must not be undermined by avoidable internal disputes or inflammatory narratives.

---

*APPEAL FOR RESTRAINT AND RESPONSIBLE ENGAGEMENT*

The organization strongly urges all stakeholders, particularly aggrieved members within Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), to exercise restraint, maturity, and responsibility in handling internal matters.

Ohanaeze emphasizes that:

Dialogue remains the most viable and sustainable pathway to conflict resolution

Internal disputes must not be allowed to escalate into public tension or communal insecurity

All grievances should be addressed through structured engagement and peaceful reconciliation mechanism.

*ON ONGOING PEACE AND DIALOGUE EFFORTS*

Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide reiterates its continuous commitment to back-channel engagements and broader dialogue initiatives aimed at:

Promoting unity among Igbo stakeholders

Supporting peaceful resolution of internal disagreements

Strengthening efforts toward the release and reintegration of detained pro-Biafra individuals, including the authentic leader of IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu

The organization underscores that ongoing divisions, if left unresolved, may jeopardize these delicate and strategic processes.

FINAL POSITION:
Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide reaffirms that peace, unity, and collective responsibility remain the cornerstone of Igbo progress.

The organization will not condone any action, statement, or agitation capable of rekindling insecurity, destabilizing communities, or reversing the hard-earned peace currently experienced across Igboland.

All stakeholders are therefore urged to act with wisdom, restraint, and an unwavering commitment to unity and stability.

MAZI OKECHUKWU ISIGUZORO
Deputy President-General
Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide

HOPELESS JUSTICE. GUILTY OUT OF FEAR

It was a heart wrenching moment for me yesterday at the Federal High Court when I saw so many young people lined up for prosecution on allegation of being members of IPOB or supporting IPOB. So many of them informed me they had stayed more than 5 years in Wawa military barracks without contact with their families.

I managed to get a few contact phone number of their relatives. I called some. It was crying and thanking me for making efforts for them. I was not myself after that. Even those whose existence were denied under oath by the Federal Government Security Agencies were seen.

Those from Orlu, Orsu, Onitsha, Enugu, Aba, etc. I cried!!! Some dead!! Dead without their families knowing!! And yet some of them were ready to plead guilty not because they believe they are guilty but because of the promises of lighter punishment or fear of being returned to Wawa military barracks detention without hope of a trial for years!! Is this justice????

They are pleading guilty for fear of being returned to detention in a strange Northern land called Wawa in Kanji, Niger State. The land of the living dead!!!! What is the justice served???

What law is actually keeping Mazi nnamdi kanu in jail ?

What chapter , paragraph and section ?

I want to know !

[247-IGBO @247IGBO]

Hausa man is the one saying it not us. They don't want Mazi Nnamdi kanu to be released because Nnamdi kanu knows every moves and agenda of a fulani man. Fulani is the problem of Nigeria because they support band!ts and T£rrorists.

IPOB PRESS STATEMENT

SUBJECT: Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu Accepts In Toto the Federal Government's Cross-Appeal Damning Admission: Trial Court Acted Without Jurisdiction — A Total Collapse That the Court of Appeal Cannot Cure

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) wishes to draw the attention of the world, the international community, and all men of conscience to yet another spectacular self-inflicted wound by the APC-led Federal Government of Nigeria in its desperate attempt to keep Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in perpetual bondage.

In its Notice of Cross-Appeal filed against the judgment of the Federal High Court, Abuja (Coram: Hon. Justice J.K. Omotosho), delivered on the 20th day of November, 2025, the Federal Government unequivocally declared in black and white that the trial Court acted without jurisdiction when it imposed life imprisonment on Counts 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6.

Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the indefatigable Lion of Biafra and Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, accepts this premise in toto. We adopt the Federal Government’s own words as our own. If the trial Court acted without jurisdiction at the sentencing phase, then the entire sentencing exercise is a nullity ab initio. Jurisdiction is not divisible. It is a sacred continuum. You cannot validly convict a man and then lack jurisdiction to sentence him on the same counts. That is judicial absurdity.

As the Supreme Court made clear in the immortal Madukolu v. Nkemdilim (1962), once there is a feature in the case that prevents the court from exercising jurisdiction, the entire proceedings are null and void no matter how well conducted. The Federal Government has now supplied that fatal feature through its own pleading. With the greatest respect, the Court of Appeal lacks the power to repair, cure, or resuscitate what the Respondent itself has declared jurisdictionally dead.

The FG cannot approbate and reprobate. They cannot admit the sentencing phase was conducted without jurisdiction and in the same breath urge the Court of Appeal to impose the death penalty on that same rotten foundation. This is not law; this is legal gymnastics born out of desperation and bad faith.

If the ill-thought-out Cross-Appeal orchestrated by the Attorney General of the Federation, Prince Lateef Fagbemi, SAN, Chief Awomolo, SAN, and the Yoruba APC Presidency is aimed at intimidating Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu into renouncing Biafra, then they have grossly miscalculated. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is the reincarnation of the indomitable Biafran spirit and will never yield to such cheap blackmail. Other former freedom fighters may be cowards, but not Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. To the FG, we say: bring it on.

This self-destructive Cross-Appeal is a clear manifestation of divine intervention and the inevitable collapse of the entire fabricated case against Onyendu. The Federal Government has handed us the sledgehammer to demolish their own conviction. The sentencing is void. The foundation is shattered. The entire prosecution stands on quicksand.

We call on the Court of Appeal to do justice by dismissing the Cross-Appeal with ignominy and allowing the Appellant’s main appeal in its entirety, leading to the immediate and unconditional release of Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

The world is watching. History is watching. No amount of judicial acrobatics or cheap intimidation can cure a fundamental lack of jurisdiction. The Lion of Biafra remains unbowed, and the spirit of Biafra remains unconquerable.

But one Nigerianists called him names and ignored his warnings
