Pro-Biafra consciousness has been on the up-tick across Southeast and Southsouth states in recent weeks, helped in no small measure by the now shut Radio Biafra, whose promoter Nnamdi Kanu is currently in the net of security operatives. Protests were held in Port Harcourt, Asaba, Onitsha, Awka, Enugu and other parts of the East, with protesters, brandishing Biafran flag and chanting solidarity songs
They were demonstrating against detention of the Director of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu and calling for the liberation of Biafra as a an independent country.
