Members of the Indigenous People of Biafra staged a protest in the United Kingdom during Bola Tinubu’s state visit, demanding the immediate release of their leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
The demonstrators gathered at key locations across London, including Parliament Square, 10 Downing Street, the Commonwealth Office and the Nigerian High Commission.
In a video circulating online, a protester was heard saying, “Our message is very clear: Tinubu does not deserve a royal salute. That is our stand today, being the 18th of March.”
Protesters were seen holding placards with the inscription, ‘Free Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’.
Many wore red caps and waved Biafra flags, a horizontal tricolour of red, black, and green, featuring a golden rising sun at the centre of the black strip.
