IPOB Bails Out Biafran Youths Who were illegally Arrested by Nigerian Police

IPOB recently bailed out 26 Biafran Youths who were among those arrested from Obigbo, during the EndSars protest last year October

These 26 Biafran Youths were granted bail since March 29th, 2021, and all their bail conditions were fulfilled by Indigenous People of Biafra, (IPOB) legal team. Unfortunately, the legal team couldn’t release them at the time bail was granted because the judiciary went on strike and the 26 Biafran youths were forced to remain in the detention until June 24th, 2021.

Indigenous People of Biafra, (IPOB) has been working tirelessly to protect Biafrans from illegal arrest, abduction, killings and injustice by the Nigerian Army and Police. 

IPOB has bailed out over 400 Biafrans who were illegally abducted by the Nigerian forces from Obigbo and transferred to the Northern detention jail. About 110 Biafrans still remaining in detention at the Alfa Commando Military Base in Suleja, Abuja. 

“We’ve been informed that 3 have died in detention making it a total of 107 remaining. We’re working and doing our best to get them release soonest. – IPOB
