A leader of the Indigenous People of
Biafra, IPOB, Leonard Anemene, reportedly has said that Radio Biafra will resume
operation in the United States on Sunday.
In a statement, Anemene said but for
some hitches, radio Biafra would have resumed operation earlier.
Anemene, who did not disclose the exact
location where the station will be operating from said, “On the
12th of January 2017, the leadership of IPOB in unison with the
leader, deputy leader and the Directorate of State (DOS), decided to
expand the broadcasting services of the Biafran struggle through the
creation of a new broadcasting service in the Americas.
“So, a live broadcast of Radio Biafra
International (RBi) from the Americas has been imminent for a very
long time now but was delayed due to logistic bottlenecks.
“However, we are proud to announce to
you all today, that we are going live on air on Sunday, the 19th of
March, 2017 with a maiden broadcast, starting from 10.00 am Biafra
time.”
Recall that the National Broadcasting
Commission, NBC, had in July 2015 jammed Radio Biafra frequency over
inciting messages transmitted by the station.
The Director of the station, Nnamdi
Kanu is currently standing trial before an Abuja Federal High Court.
