Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The leader of Biafra Nations League, BnL, Princewill Chimezie Richard has given the federal government of Nigeria 14 days to release Nnamdi Kanu.<\/p>\n

The group threatened to shut down oil exploration in the Nigeria\/Cameroon maritime borders.<\/p>\n

It has also given the same ultimatum to the Nigerian government to withdraw military troops from the South-East region.<\/p>\n

At a press briefing in Calabar, they also called on Cameroon authorities \u201cto desist from forcing and collecting proliferated taxes from Nigerians living in the Bakassi Peninsula.\u201d<\/p>\n

Richard said, \u201cWe want to use this medium to reiterate our decisions to shut down maritime borders if our demands are not met within 14 days, effective from 8 May, 2022.\u2019<\/p>\n

He claimed that BnL was enjoying support from other groups.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are capable of doing anything. We cannot disclose the extent of our capacity.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou should know that we command massive loyalists and followers even amongst the natives. It will be disastrous if our demands are not met.\u201d<\/p>\n

He called on President Muhammadu Buhari to release Kanu before he hands over on 29 May, 2023, and stop being recalcitrant by not obeying court orders.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are disappointed and have lost confidence in Buhari\u2019s government.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t say I have confidence in Bola Ahmed Tinubu who would be replacing Buhari. I don\u2019t even know him.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven if Kanu is released, it will not stop our agitation for Biafra sovereignty. We are demanding for safety and freedom from Nigeria. We have never believed in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cBnL is not alone in this struggle. There will be no negotiation about Biafra.\u201d<\/p>\n

The group said Nigerian authorities should not force them to take laws into their hands.<\/p>\n
