Nigeria will be shutdown if Nnamdi Kanu is not produced in Court on October 21- Group
A pro Biafra group The Indigenous Biafra Warriors (IBW) has threatened to shutdown the entire country if the IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu is not brought to court in the next adjourned date.
The matter was adjourned to October 21 by an Abuja High Court Judge who refused to proceed with the matter in the absence of Nmamdi Kanu who could not be produced in Court.
Speaking with Everydaynewsngr.net the leader of the Biafra Warriors Comrade Ndubuisi Igwekani (aka Agu Biafra) any attempt to keep Kanu away from Court on October would not be tolerated.
“We shall mobilize and shutdown the entire country if Nnamdi Kanu is not produced in court on the next adjourned date.
Nobody should blame us if the DSS fails to produce him in court so that if the government has anything against him they should present it before the Court.”
On the decision to cancel the sit-at-home earlier scheduled every Monday, Comrade Igwekani said it was shelved in consideration of the sufferings of the people.
He lambasted those who were calling for the cancellation of the sit-at-home based on its effect on the economy of the South East referring them to the disaster the economy is facing based on the activities of the Fulani herdsmen ” and nobody is talking.”
“If we really care about the economy of the South-East then we must stop pretending and face the the herdsmen invasion of Igbo communities without fear or favour.
“Therefore, every well meaning Igbo leader including the governor’s of the South East must rise and do what they ought to do to end the issue of Fulani herdsmen.
“If they fail to do that then the youths would take it upon themselves to ensure that the herdsmen are stopped because the killings are getting out of hand. So many people were recently massacred in Ebonyi and Enugu states.bWe can no longer tolerate the herdsmen killings in our Communities.
“We have also resolved that the problem in Ohanaeze should immediately be settled in the interest of our people. Lots of confusion and disunity arising from the electiion. We urge the Bishop’s who have intervened to quickly come up with a recipe for peace. And we expect that this should be concluded before the end of August.
The group also called for concerted efforts by the South East governor’s and other major Stakeholders to put pressure on the federal government and secure the release of Nnamdi Kanu.
“We can’t just keep quiet pretending nothing has happened. We therefore call on all genuine Igbo sons to rally round and see that Nnamdi Kanu is released.”
Son of the late head of state and former Minister of Defence, Chief Thomas Aguiyi-Ironsi, in a letter of remembrance and solidarity written on behalf of the Aguiyi-Ironsi family to the Fajuyi family, marking the 60th anniversary of his death, said July 29, 2026, will be a solemn occasion to honour a soldier they described as “a war hero who offered himself as a sacrificial lamb for the unity and integrity of the nation.”
The family recalled that Lt Col Fajuyi, then Military Governor of the Western Region, made the ultimate sacrifice in 1966 when mutinous soldiers abducted him alongside Maj Gen Aguiyi-Ironsi in Ibadan during the military counter-coup.
They stated that Fajuyi, in a defining moment of conscience, chose honour over personal safety and refused to abandon his guest and superior, a decision the family said reflected the highest ideals of loyalty, integrity, and military brotherhood.
According to the statement, his action transformed him into a national martyr whose legacy continued to inspire unity, courage, and selfless service.
The Aguiyi-Ironsi family also expressed sympathy with the Fajuyi family, acknowledging the enduring pain of their loss, while praying for continued strength, comfort, and peace.
The statement further stated, “He did not run. He did not hide. He chose to stand. In that sacrificial decision lay the essence of his greatness.”
The family called on government institutions, military authorities, and custodians of national memory to ensure sustained recognition and support for the Fajuyi family, stressing that his sacrifice remained a national responsibility to remember and honour.
It urged Nigerians to draw inspiration from his life and death, noting that his legacy continues to challenge the nation to uphold unity, courage, honour, and selfless service.
Fajuyi was killed on July 29, 1966, during the military counter-coup in Ibadan alongside Aguiyi-Ironsi.

The emergence of Chief Ikeagwuonu Ugochinyere as the Minority Leader of the Federal House of Representatives has been described as a vindication of the fact that the Action People’s Party (APP ) represents the collective interests of the Nigerian masses.
Recall that recently, Ugochinyere was elected as the Minority Leader of the party in a keenly contested election of the Federal House of Representatives.
According to a statement by the Chairman Anambra state chapter of the APP Chief Chijioke Okeke, Ugochinyere had been consistent in offering himself as the voice of the people and that of the voiceless.
“It did not come to us as a surprise that our great leader High Chief Ugochinyere became the Minority leader of the Federal House of Representatives because he has always been consistent and focus towards providing himself as the only vent for the masses at the Green Chambers”
“We know his pedegre as a politician as well as a leader and he has remained focus in ensuring that the voiceless are heard and this is also a vindication of our party’s unflinching desire to provide a veritable platform in a democratic process”
Okeke further stated that the fifth columnists who had attempted to deregister the party have been put to shame adding that the party shall continue to champion the interests of the Nigerian people.
“They made failed attempt at deregistering our great party but they lost sight of the fact that the APP is firmely rooted on ground and has all that it takes to drive the wishes and aspirations of the Nigerian populace and with this recent development our traducers have been put to shame and our party is on the path of further greatness “. Okeke noted .
