Leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has expressed his readiness to stand trial at the International Criminal Court (ICC), in Hague.

The IPOB leader declared his readiness on a live broadcast on Radio Biafra Sunday night, stating that he will not hesitate to appear before ICC if defending Biafrans against ‘unprovoked genocidal attacks by killer herdsmen and terrorists’ would warrant his appearance

Kanu lamented on the harassments and extrajudicial killings by security agencies, which he said have continued unabated across Biafra land.

He added that the world had maintained criminal silence over the plight of Biafrans despite complaints and petitions by IPOB as well as indicting reports against the Nigerian Authorities and security agencies by some reputable global agencies.

He stated that besides state-sponsored persecutions and brazen infuriating marginalisation and exclusion against Biafrans, killer herdsmen and terrorists have continued to raid communities in the region unchallenged by the security agencies.

"Herdsmen will attack us, rape our women, destroy our farms and kill our farmers nobody will arrest them but when we try to defend ourselves, government will come after us rolling out the tanks and using their helicopter gun boats", Kanu lamented.

The further explained that the incessant unprovoked genocidal attacks by herdsmen and the docility of the Nigerian Authorities gave rise to the formation of the Eastern Security Network (ESN) to protect the hapless Biafran locals against terror.

The IPOB leader said instead of going after the perpetrators of the heinous crimes against innocent citizens, the Nigerian State rather chose to declare war against mere vigilante volunteer group as demonstrated in Thursday's air strike in Orlu.

Kanu described the Orlu military raid as mark of the beginning of the second Nigeria/Biafra war.

He vowed to mobilise the people in defence of their ancestral land "no matter the consequences".

"If defending our ancestral land against conquest by Fulani Janjaweed invaders will take me to the Hague I am ready to go to the Hague.

 “The world has the indicting report by the UN Reportuer against Nigeria but they have not done anything. Do we have to wait until we are all killed before we defend ourselves?" Kanu stressed.

He expressed optimism that Biafra would soon be restored despite stiff opposition by the Nigerian State and her International collaborators as well as internal traitors.
