Biafra Protest: Take Our Oil, But Give Us Freedom- Zionists Lament (Video)
Supporters of the movement for the actualization of Biafra, have taken to the streets in Central London demanding the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the head of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) group and director of the London-based radio station Radio Biafra.
Kanu was arrested in Lagos earlier in October, and in the wake of his arrest there has been series of protests in the southeastern region of Nigeria and other places around the world.
There were claims by the Department of State Services (DSS), that Kanu was released on bail, but his supporters claim that he is still being detained and is yet to resume his activities on Radio Biafra.
IBTimes UK reports that the Biafran agitators accuse the Nigerian police of violence. However, the police have denied these claims, arguing that the Biafra advocates hold violent protests and threaten the peace of the nation.

According to Amnesty International, there is “credible evidence that pro-Biafran separatists in Nigeria are targeted by police”.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian government has said that it does not consider the separatist movement as a threat to the current administration.
The government has described the pro-Biafrans as an “insignificant number of frustrated people who are not a threat to the existence of Nigeria”.
