“We are not Biafra. We have been so oppressed, and now we are finding our feet, and you want us to go back. We will not. We will not,” Mr Umahi insisted.
I’ve been in all the troubles in the country, including being in detention for more than three years. I think Nigerians just make noise to get (a) better deal.”
Mr Buhari said Mr Kanu must answer for “abusing this (his) administration and mentioning many things” against Nigeria.
The army said its troops recovered one AK-47 rifle, one magazine containing 21 rounds of 7.62 mm special bullets and one telephone handset from Mr Nnamdi.
The emergency trial of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader, Nnamdi Kanu, is set to begin at the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court.
On July 31, IPOB sued the U.S. over the sale of A-29 Super Tucano aircrafts to Nigeria, asking the court to reverse the sale.
The army said “IPOB has continued to intimidate and harass citizens who come out to do their legitimate businesses.”
The Nigerian leader received members of Highly Respected Igbo Greats at the State House on Friday.
Lawal Usman said he does not take IPOB serious, and that if it were in his power, the secessionist group “won’t last more than one week”.
Both opposing groups marched across the road chanting at the top of their voices in a desperate attempt to outshout one another.
