Niger Delta “DECLARES WAR” Over Nnamdi Kanu’s Detention? SEE What They Threatened To Do If Kanu Isn’t Released
In the Niger Delta region of Nigeria, communities are threatening to halt oil production. They are demanding the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
Kanu has been held in solitary confinement at the Department of State Services (DSS) headquarters in Abuja since June 2021, when he was brought back from Kenya.
Despite several court orders and appeals for his release, Kanu remains in detention. He is currently on trial at the Federal High Court in Abuja. The Association of Niger Delta Upland Communities is calling on the Federal Government to find a political solution to Kanu’ s situation.
In a statement signed by President Isah Mohammed Obiri and Secretary Wisdom Oteyi, the association said they would stop oil production until Kanu is released. They believe Kanu is being treated unfairly.
The letter from the association, seen by Vanguard, stated, ” This is a reminder to the Federal Government that our 14- day ultimatum is approaching. We are committed to our plans. We urge the government to start peaceful talks with our leader for a resolution. ”
The communities have already stopped operations at the Rumuekpe Manifold, which stores 700, 000 barrels of crude oil per day. They also plan to shut down all related oil wells and pipelines, including Kolo Creek, Adabawa, Oguta/Assa Trunkline, Owasa oil pipeline, Obelle oil pipeline, and more.
They accused those responsible for Kanu’ s detention of creating tension and threatened to reveal their identities. ” The people behind Kanu’ s extraordinary rendition from Kenya are the true enemies of Nigeria. Their goal is to suppress our leader, whose messages have inspired many. ”

The association called on all citizens to protect Kanu using the region’ s natural resources. ” We will reveal the names of those responsible for this injustice in our next press release, ” they added.
The situation remains tense as the communities stand firm in their demands. The Federal Government is under pressure to address the issue and avoid further disruptions in oil production.
