What the petition asks

The people of Biafra are agitating for self-determination/freedom/independence from Nigeria.

President M. Buhari’s government intimidate arrest, unlawfully detain and kill peaceful Biafra agitators.

Nnamdi Kanu the leader of 'Indigenous People of Biafra' (IPOB) has been unlawfully detained.

In 1967 - 1970 Nigeria carried out a genocidal war on Biafra that led to the death of 3.5 million Biafrans.

Biafrans have terribly suffered in Nigeria and wish for peaceful exit.

Please support and recommend a peaceful #BiafraExit from Nigeria.

Thanks for your support.
