Clarification on the issue of legal protection for Biafrans in Nigeria and elsewhere from the Executive Council of the Indigenous People of Biafra
United Nation’s Defined Rights of Indigenous People and their Implications for the Indigenous People of Biafra?
According to the United Nations charter for the Rights of Indigenous People, all fears hitherto holding down the Indigenous People of Biafra from accessing clearly defined indigenous peoples’ rights have been put to permanent sleep. As Indigenous People,
this charter to which the Africa union and Nigerian State is a signatory, clearly states that we reserve the right to agitate for Biafra without fear of intimidations from within the Nigerian State and/or even in the diaspora.
This global human rights charter therefore shields the Indigenous People of Biafra from undue harassment, arrest, detention and even murder from the Nigerian State. The Nigerian Police has no right whatsoever, to arrest any peaceful gathering of the Indigenous People of Biafra; if they do, they are in material breach of the binding covenant they entered into and are in effect inviting anarchy. A breach of this by the Nigerian State is a tantamount to a collision between the Nigerian State and chaos on the one side, and the United Nation and the Indigenous People of Biafra on the other side.
The Indigenous People of Biafra hereby duly notifies the Inspector General of Nigerian Police, Director of SSS, all State Governors, Speakers of Houses of Assembly all over Nigeria and State Police Commissioners that Indigenous People of Biafra are entitled to hold meetings without fear of arrest or molestation. Formal letters will be issued to them via the offices of the Association of Lawyers for the Defense of the Rights of Indigenous People based in Onitsha.
Henceforth all coordinators in Nigeria and African countries are mandated to display the legal notice below in a banner or board at the entrance to their meeting chamber or hall. They must also have copies of the UN Charter to make available to anyone wishing to have sight of it should the need arise.
