Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A family member of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Kingsley Kanunta, has berated the United Kingdom, UK, over its \u201csilence\u201d on the agitator\u2019s trial.<\/p>\n

Kanunta said UK\u2019s silence over Kanu\u2019s trial would not stop the actualization of the Biafra agitation.<\/p>\n

He said the IPOB leader wouldn\u2019t stop until his mission of actualizing Biafra is achieved.<\/p>\n

In a tweet on Wednesday, Kanunta wrote: \u201cThe UK should be guiding Nigeria on how to hold #Referendum on #Biafra independence Cos, any decision concerning Biafra self-determination does not rest with @MBuhari or @FCDOGovUK, it\u2019s a matter for the Biafran people alone. Silence on Kanu\u2019s case can\u2019t stop what #MNK started.\u201d<\/p>\n

The UK has refused to intervene in Kanu\u2019s trial despite pressure from his family and lawyers.<\/p>\n

In June last year, Dean Hurlock, a spokesperson of the British High Commission, disclosed that the UK \u201cwould expect any trial or legal proceedings to follow due process\u201d.<\/p>\n

This is as Kanu\u2019s prosecution continues in Abuja, Nigeria\u2019s capital city.<\/p>\n
