The cover over the location of Radio Biafra, an internet radio station owned the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has been blown open.
Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the proscribed IPOB is the brain behind the station, which has been a major headache to President Muhammadu Buhari administration.
The station broadcast incendiary reports about the government and some ethnic groups in the country.
Its main objectlves are to sensitise Nigerians to injustices in the country especially against Ndigbo people of Nigeria, and to galvanise support for the indepence of the people of Biafra, made up largely by the people of the South East and some parts of South South.
The Cable News Network said on Saturday it discovered a tucked away down a quiet, leafy street in Peckham, southeast London, the registered address of the group.
CNN described the place as a suburban spot, saying that it is the unlikely location of Radio Biafra.
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu founded IPOB in 2012 and established Radio Biafra in 2009. The group was created to restore an independent state of Biafra.
IPOB was banned by the Federal government in 2017. However, in October 19, 2015, Kanu was arrested for treasonable felony, sedition, and ethnic incitement. He was released on bail in 2017 and fled to the UK.
IPOB has criticised the Nigerian federal government for poor investment, political alienation, inequitable resource distribution, ethnic marginalization, heavy military presence, extra-judicial killings in the South-Eastern, South-Central and parts of North-Central regions of the country.
He was re-arrested in Keyan and brought back to Nigeria to face his charges.
The radio station is quite popular in the Igbo areas of Nigeria, where many believe the medium represent the voice of the voiceless in the Southeast region, where there pervasive belief of deliberate policy of marginalisation by the Federal Government.
