command and leadership of our indefatigable liberator Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu
Kanu, wish to announce to the general public, especially Biafrans that Tuesday

“The Tuesday 13th September, 2022 civil
action is very important for two reasons:
“First, our leader’s
Appeal court hearing that was supposed to be on October 11th has been brought
forward to 13th September, 2022. As usual we call on Biafrans and lovers of
freedom to demonstrate our solidarity with our leader who has been bearing our
yoke in detention for over a year now.
“There shall be a TOTAL
LOCKDOWN of the whole of Biafraland on Tuesday the 13th of September 2022. The
Imposter Buhari cannot be coming to Imo State while he continues to detain our
leader Mazi Nnamdi in the DSS custody.”
