The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has vowed to stop all military attacks in Biafra land.

Kanu stated that more intimidation from the Nigerian government and the army will only draw the actualisation for the separate state of Biafra nearer.

The IPOB leader in a post on his verified Twitter handle on Sunday vowed not to stop the agitation and promised to recruit more personnel.

The Nigerian Army and other security agencies have earlier announced a manhunt for members of the Eastern Security Network (ESN), the security arm of the IPOB.

In the process of flushing out the IPOB and ESN members, there have been reports of killing of civilians in the South-East, notably in Imo State due to air bombardments and ground raids by the military personnel.

However, Kanu, on Sunday, said the IPOB would stop the siege if it was not withdrawn by the government.

He tweeted, “Let this be clear: This unwarranted siege of Biafraland must stop. Or we stop it. The siege won’t make us back down from restoring #Biafra. It will rather strengthen our resolve and recruit more faithful to the cause. The more you siege, the closer Biafra beckons.”
