On Tuesday, the Federal Government told a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, why it was not in a hurry to release the detained leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu.

VANGUARD reports a Federal government investigation revealed that Kanu, who it identified as the brain behind recent clamour for the creation of ‘Biafra Republic’, had already received huge sums of money to purchase weapons. The government said that prior to his arrest, Kanu, had already made enquiries about prices of all the weapons he intends to buy.

Meanwhile IPOB and MASSOB have suspended all protests to pave way for dialogue on Kanu’s release.
