WARRI- THE Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger-Delta, MEND, today, took the the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, to the cleaners, saying he agreed in secret to renounce ‘Biafra’ in exchange for freedom, only to act hypocritically in public after sealing discussion with MEND on the matter.

Spokesperson of MEND, Jomo Gbomo, in a vitriolic statement, said: “The attention of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) has been drawn to the recent spate of hypocritical and provocative statements issued by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its leader, Nnamdi Kanu,”

The group said the IPOB/Kanu statements “purport to dissociate IPOB/Kanu from some of the concessions, which have so far been secured by MEND in the ongoing talks aimed at resolving the current Niger Delta crisis between the Federal Government and MEND.”

Its words, “MEND hereby uses this opportunity to inform the entire world that following the group’s ongoing negotiations with the Federal Government, Nnamdi Kanu has made it clear that he is willing to renounce “Biafra” in secret; in exchange for his freedom.” “MEND and the Federal Government have, however, flatly rejected the IPOB/Kanu hypocrisy to remain defiant in public; while accepting to secretly renounce secession.

It asserted: “MEND, therefore, urges the already frustrated and desperate Mr. Kanu and IPOB to swallow their pride and make a public denunciation of ‘Biafra.’”

The group argued that the public denunciation by Kanu was important so as not continue deceiving the gullible donors and followers sold to the illusion of a ‘Biafra Republic’ that aims to annex the Niger Delta region as part of its territory.

It said there was need for them (donors and followers) to “become fully aware that the so-called ‘Biafra Republic’ is merely a business venture and scam whose sole beneficiaries are Kanu, directors of IPOB and their families and cronies.”

I'll be like...

I don't believe it this present government are looking for anything they can credit themselves as achievement if nnamdi KANU had denounced Biafra secretly u can be sure that lai Mohammed would have said it.

There are over 40 million people waiting for nnamdi kanu to denounce biafra so they can take over. The movement is greater than an individual.

Who are the sponsors of MEND

Are they truly working for release of Kanu or they are spoilers working behind the scene for FG and hoping to line their pockets in the process too

Their recent antecedents have shown they and their handlers cannot be trusted either in the ND or IPOB agitations.

Mend is a yoruba/fulani group

Why should he renounced beefrats, has he spent up to 27years in prison like Mandela? Like is people will always say.


Common MEND, you can lie oooooo, our DILECTOR, still has 26 more years to do in Kuje jareeeeeee. Infact he is going 30 to suppase Mandela's record.

who doesn't knw that Mazi Kanu is only forming macho in public bt crying and begging in secret.so Kanu wants freedom,i thought he is Biafra mandela.40yrs in kuje loading....

MEND seeking for relevance after being decapitated by GEJ since 23 BC. They think their romance with APC will facilitate thr release of their leaders.

You say you are Movement for the EMANCIPATION OF NIGER DELTA, what are you Emancipating? Your version of 'Emancipation' means selling the whole region to the same Fulanis that the Niger delta have been struggling to do away with? Who is fooling who?

Jomo Gbomo kor, kpomo Kpomo ni.

MEND and fight for relevance be like...

MEND are just a bunch of conflict merchants trying to hijack the negotiation process in the ND for their own selfish interests.

stop being wicked!

Jomo Gbomo doesn't exist. He is a figment of the imagination of Sowore, the owner of sahara reporters. He is the same as Cynthia whyte.

It said there was need for them (donors and followers) to “become fully aware that the so-called ‘Biafra Republic’ is merely a business venture and scam whose sole beneficiaries are Kanu, directors of IPOB and their families and cronies.”

Siily tactics from buhari
the day kanu will renounce biafra (assuming its possible) buhari will call CNN BBC Aljazeera and the islamic channel deen to air it live.

I trust kanu. he will continue to torment buhari, north and SW with the truth until the country bows under the weight of the truth he preaches.

I would have take this serious. but the last time I checked MEND is working for APC. the Original MEND is dead and the new one is APC. they attack Jonathan, attacked Avengers and also attacked KANU. at least they should learned how to be professional a bit. it's shows APC written over it.

beside it is allowed that KANU can tricked government to accept and when he gain freedom he denial every thing again.

Then the albino will go back to jail, simple. I'm not against biafrauud though, but I hate to........ Lemme just keep mute before one Igbo mod ban me.

This another Lagos-Ibadan-Expressway report. How can Kanu renounce Biafra "in secret"? Are these people crazy? They can't even make up a story that is believable. The issue of Biafra is much bigger than Kanu. Even if Kanu were to publicly denounce Biafra (something we all know he is never going to do) it would not change anything and neither will it dampen the agitation

This is cheap blackmail from MEND.

“MEND hereby uses this opportunity to inform the entire world that following the group’s ongoing negotiations with the Federal Government, Nnamdi Kanu has made it clear that he is willing to renounce “Biafra” in secret; in exchange for his freedom.”

Where did he secretly denounce Biafra, in kuje prison or in Port Harcourt?

“MEND and the Federal Government have, however, flatly rejected the IPOB/Kanu hypocrisy to remain defiant in public; while accepting to secretly renounce secession.

After rejecting his defiance, what next?

“MEND, therefore, urges the already frustrated and desperate Mr. Kanu and IPOB to swallow their pride and make a public denunciation of ‘Biafra.’”

Between arrogant Nnamdi Kanu and weeping and pleading junkies, who look and sound frustrated?

The group argued that the public denunciation by Kanu was important so as not continue deceiving the gullible donors and followers sold to the illusion of a ‘Biafra Republic’ that aims to annex the Niger Delta region as part of its territory.

I see hand of Esau, voice of Jacob.

It said there was need for them (donors and followers) to “become fully aware that the so-called ‘Biafra Republic’ is merely a business venture and scam whose sole beneficiaries are Kanu, directors of IPOB and their families and cronies.”

If biafra agitation is business, tell government to start taxing them and stop this needless harassment of IPOB .
Meanwhile, the donors are not complaining, so mind your business of mortgaging the future of Niger Delta people to the hands of Afonjas and Arewa.

MEND has been commissioned by Apc government to cause katakata everywhere.



To show how dumb buhari is, NDA is bombing pipeline while they are negotiating with another different group called MEND



Buhari bu Akpa Amu

Bros, Akpa Amu is better than Buhari

I tell you, MEND will not be able to stand what is coming to them
MEDIA WAR

Just wait for the reply from IPOB MEDIA TEAM

They attacked Jonathan,
They attacked Avengers,
They are attacking IPOB. This is their finishing point.
MEND will be afraid to talk in public after this media war

One thing is sure, MEND is just trying to be relevant.

That's all, the Nnamdi Kanu we all know is too big for this scam from MEND.

There is really an invisible pressure(In economics we call it invisible hand) from somewhere to the FG to release Kanu.

Ohhh...... next time I'll follow the Onitsha report instead.

When did MEND started becoming the mouthpiece for Nnamdi KANU, the same MEND after GEJ's life?

After announced removal of broadcast equipment from MTN masts, has that stopped radio biafra from broadcasting?

You should know that this government is full of liars.
