Biafra: Nnamdi Kanu’s US Lawyer Begs Facebook To Ban Buhari Govt, Gives Reasons

Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has encouraged Facebook to ban the Nigerian government, according to Bruce Fein, a US lawyer.

Fein suggested that Facebook consider banning the Nigerian government for allegedly committing genocide and crimes against humanity against IPOB and the people of the southeast.

His petition came in response to Minister of Information and Culture Lai Mohammed’s request that Facebook prohibit IPOB from utilizing the social media network.

According to Mohammed, Facebook is not doing enough to prevent IPOB from encouraging violence on its platform.

Fein, on the other hand, accused Nigeria’s government of oppressing IPOB and denying it the right to self-defense.

Fein’s comment was contained in a letter he addressed to Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook.

The letter reads partly: “I am aware of the Nigerian Government’s high decibel clamour for Facebook to ban IPOB and its members from the social media platform for allegedly inciting violence. The clamour is predicated on the Nigerian Government’s proscription of IPOB as a terrorist organization in September 2017. The whole story is more revealing.

“The proscription flouted due process. IPOB was denied notice and an opportunity to respond. The proscription was the fact-free ipse dixit of Nigerian President Muhammdu Buhari.

“Accordingly, I am respectfully requesting that Facebook rebuke the Fulani-controlled Government of Nigeria for seeking censorship of IPOB’s free speech.

“Facebook should also consider banning the Government of Nigeria as a criminal enterprise featuring genocide and crimes against humanity against Biafrans and other ethnic or political groups. The incriminating evidence is voluminous and will be supplied on request.”
