IPOB suspends Nnamdi Kanu as leader
The rival DOS said the move follows intelligence concerns over prison communications and a possible militia plan.
- On Tuesday, IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu dissolved the organization's third Directorate of State and appointed US-based Mazi Chris Nwa as the new head to manage daily operations.
- Kanu initiated the changes to address "past shortcomings" and correct failures, citing a need for "organisational renewal" during a critical period for the movement.
- In a counter statement on Thursday, former Directorate of State head Chika Edoziem rejected the dissolution and announced the indefinite suspension of Kanu's position as IPOB leader.
- IPOB spokesperson Emma Powerful dismissed Edoziem's claims on Friday, suggesting the former leader is angry about his removal and insisting Kanu remains the movement's leader.
- This friction reflects a long-standing leadership crisis within IPOB, which has suffered internal instability since Kanu's initial arrest in 2015 as the movement seeks to carve out a sovereign state of Biafra from Nigeria's South-east.
