The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has planned a mega demonstration on February 15, 2022 to demand the release of its detained leader Nnamdi Kanu.
Kanu, still held captive by the Nigerian government, was seized in Kenya and illegally repatriated to Nigeria in 2021.
The February 15 protest will take place in Italy at Roma-Piazza Dei Santi Apostolo, members of the separatist group said in a flyer received by Oak Metro.
It said the protest will start from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
The trial of Nnamdi Kanu, who IPOB has declared a “prisoner of conscience”, will resume at the Abuja High Court on February 16, 2022.
He faces 15 amended charges bordering on treason and terrorism to which he had pleaded not guilty.
