Biafra: IPOB Names Chika Edoziem As Nnamdi Kanu’s Replacement

Mazi Chika Edoziem has been named the Indigenous People of Biafra’s (IPOB) new leader.

IPOB declared that Edoziem will oversee its operations till the release of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

According to a statement made by the group’s spokesperson, Emma Powerful, Edoziem will hand over leadership to Kanu after his release.

The statement reads partly: “For the avoidance of doubt, the Directorate of State of the Indigenous People of Biafra (DOS), headed by Mazi Chika Edoziem, is at the helm of affairs of the Biafra movement; whenever our leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU comes out, he hands over IPOB structure back to him.”

Edoziem is believed to be the IPOB’s vice-president.

Currently, Kanu is detained by the Department of State Services, or DSS.

The IPOB leader has been detained by the DSS ever since he was recaptured and brought home from Kenya in 2011.
