I am that Biafran locked up in DSS custody
for 98 days without trial
Firstly, I wish to thank this honorable
parliament, representatives of member
nations and all her leaders. On the defense
of rule of law and human right this
parliament thrived. The making of a better
world where mankind shall be free, easy life
and prosperous world had been the banner
of this parliament and never shall diplomacy
or any form of tie cause a deviation or
severe the cause of this great parliament.
I am a Biafran, I am that Biafran locked up
in Buhari’s DSS dungeon for 98 days without
trial, given inhuman treatments, tortured and
abused. I am that Biafran competent courts
of jurisdiction freed but Buhari by his powers
held me illegally. I am that Biafran that left
his wife suffers the pains of child birth
alone. I am that Biafran his newly delivered
wife is still having emotional trauma and
mental torture of losing her husband to time
or death.
I am that Biafran that never killed a man or
man killed for me
I am that Biafran this parliament gave right
to agitate for freedom, UN charter told to
demand for freedom, Nigerian constitution
also told to agitate for Biafra, when I did
what the law said I should do, I was thrown
into the prison without asking me what I
want or how my want can be addressed. I
am that Biafran that never killed a man or
man killed for me, that Biafran that only
stood a radio station as a weapon to fight for
freedom, that Biafran that cherished freedom
of speech, that Biafran that is persecuted
because of truth. I am Nnamdi Kanu that
Biafran Nigerian government under Buhari
unlawfully oppressed.
I am that Biafran his 7 years old child was
shot to death in Aba, that Biafran his
brothers and sisters were massacred in
Onitsha. I am that Biafran his people were
again massacred in Aba, that Biafran his
people are being kidnapped, extra-judiciary
killed and illegally imprisoned by Buhari. I
am that Biafran who Buhari illegally ordered
soldiers of Gowon to invade my land and
slaughter my children, sisters, brothers,
fathers and mothers in their millions in
1967. I am that Biafran his people are being
marginalized, subjugated and enslaved just
because they fought a war and lost, instead
of healing and forgiving us, they chose to
keep punishing us.
Biafrans are losing their lives for lawfully
asking a legal course
Before Buhari addresses this honorable
parliament, let him be assessed and
subjected to scrutiny, that he may not infect
this honorable parliament with dishonor,
lawlessness and primitive tendencies. Under
his words, over 1000 innocent men and
women lost their lives because of his political
ambition in 2011 and today more Biafrans
are losing their lives for lawfully asking a
legal course.
This parliament having warned of human
right abuses by Nigeria, Buhari has gone on
without discretion in handling of call for
Biafran independence which fully contradicts
the ethics of this honorable parliament,
hence I call for a discrete advise or compel
him to respect human life and do the
needful- referendum for Biafra and release
his prisoner of conscience or a political
prison without odds or record of unlawful
act.
We are Biafrans condemned by Nigerian
government
The treatment of Kanu represents how
Biafrans are treated in Nigeria, we are
Biafrans, condemned by Nigerian government
and deprived of right to live, speech, belong,
freedom and thrive. Even-though our land
feed the country, our land is marginalized as
diseases, contaminated land, bad roads, lack
of infrastructure and social amenities bedevil
us as virtually removed from federation. This
federal absence left our land in decay that
we today seek freedom to have a nation to
call a home and enjoy human right which
gives meaning to life. Thanks, yours faithfully,
Nnamdi Kanu in Ifeanyi Chijioke of Family
Writers.
