Letter of Appeal to Rev Tim Crellin






DATE:November 30, 2015

Attn: The Rev. Timothy Crellin
Vicar, St. Stephens Episcopal Church
419 Shawmut Avenue, Boston, MA 02118

Ref: The plight of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB)

Dear Rev. Timothy Crellin,



We are the Boston Zone of the Indigenous People of Biafra in the United States of America
(IPOB-USA). The IPOB-USA is a registered entity in the State of Carlifornia with Corporate
number C3647016 and IRS EIN 46-5201060, and is registered as “S“ Corporation. IPOB main
objective is seeking for and achieving the freedom and independence of the sovereign state of
Biafra. The IPOB-USA is a part of a wider global family of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB)
that works in collaboration with Radio Biafra London (RBL). IPOB is represented in over 80
countries around including the USA. We are agitating for the creation of a Biafra Nation from
the Federal Republic of Nigeria which was the condition proposed by Britain and agreed upon at
the entering of the 100 year amalgamation that ended in 2014.

We wish to thank you in advance prior to meeting with you tomorrow Tuesday, December 2,
2015 at 9 AM to discuss the Biafra freedom movement and struggle. But first we would like to
state that before the amalgamation merger that led to the creation of Nigeria by the British, there
was an area called Biafra which lies on the Bright of Biafra in the Southern Protectorate on the
original ancient world map of Africa. Lord Frederick Lugard and his wife (Flora Shaw) both
British came from India to the area and for the interest of the British empire to have total control
of the southern protectorate’s oil, petroleum, and other natural resources. Lugard and his British
masters then decided to merge the southern protectorate with the northern protectorate after
stricking a secret deal with the Hausa-Fulani who are predominately Muslim and Yoruba who
though were part of the southern protectorate, but were 50:50 Christian/Muslim population ratio.
At the amalgamation, there was fierce objection by the Biafrans who didn’t want to be a part of
the merger for the obvious reason that there is broad range of difference between the Biafrans
and the Yorubas, and the Hausa-Fulani of northern protectorate bordering on background,
customs, religious, value systems, etc. Biafrans are predominantely Christians although there
are very few Biafrans who worship idol, but the Hausa-Fulani are completely/predominately
Muslims. On the other hand, the Yorubas and the Bini-speaking people practice both faith (Islam
and Christianity) owing to conquest by Islamic jihardists. In order to move forward with the
merger, Britain put forth a condition that the merger would run for 100 years and would cease to
be binding thereafter, and any of the aggrieved nations can separate from Nigeria and is free to
go and form its own nation and govern itself.

Evidently, the so-called merger did not play well with Biafrans at all. The Hausa-Fulani, Yoruba,
and Britain committed series of violations against Biafrans in the cause of the so-called merger,
that included Britain introducing the indirect rule of leadership power that was granted to the
Hausa-Fulani and Yoruba population to favor them, especially in the exploitation of Biafra’s
resources (oil, petroleum, and other natural resources) to the benefits of Britain, Hausa-Fulani,
and Yoruba. In spite of the North which is the home of the Hausa-Fulani having more than 150
mineral resources that includes oil and gas in Borno state and substantial amount of oil in Niger,
and the West which is the home of the Yoruba having over 40 mineral resources, yet Briatin in
collusion with the Hausa-Fulani and Yorubas continued the endless and mindless exploitation
and rape of the natural resources in Biafra.

In addition, the British encouraged the Hausa-Fulani to carry out the following; Islamization of
the entire Nigeria, introduction of sharia law, mandatory initiation of Islam for all students in the
Nigerian school curriculum, subjecting Biafrans to all sorts of victimization and nepotism,
establishing the politics of hateful propaganda, creating a practice of „divide and conquer“ rule
of thumb, character assassination, deprivation to the rights of freedom of expression, voice
silencing, persecution of Briafrans for their Christian faith, the three year civil war in which
Britain and Nigeria took the lives of close to three million Briafrans through indiscriminate
bombing and the blockade that resulted in the stavation of Biafran men/ women/children/infants,
and the despicable act of disembowelling, crushing, and mutilating of unborn fetuses from their
mothers wormbs. Britain‘s deliberate omission of the Bight of Biafra from the map of Africa
when Britain recreated the world map is an attempt to extinguish Biafrans from the world while
using the resources from Biafranland. These are just but a few of the grievous violations
Biafrans endured and had to deal with in the course of British so-called merger of January 1st,
1914. The 100 years of the rocky merger and rough marriage in the contraption called Nigeria
has finally come to an end and as already agreed in the amalgamation, Biafra which is the
aggrieved nation is exercising its rights to seperate from Nigeria.This is the cause for the Biafra
agitation.

Muhammadu Buhari who is the current president of the Nigeria has already thrown the country
into total chaos and divided the country when the 73 -year old Buhari, Obasanjo, and Britain
plotted the illegal arrest and incarceration of Nnamdi Kanu, the Director of Radio Biafra and the
leader of IPOB. Nnamdi Kanu is a British citizen, a family man with wife and children. In the
middle of October 2015, it was reported that Nnamdi Kanu left London heading to Biafra Land
to visit his parents and enroute Lagos-Nigeria, and checked in a hotel in Lagos as a guest. On
October 14, 2015, officers of the Nigerian Department of State Security (DSS) went to the hotel,
arrested him, and transported him their detention dungeon in Abuja, the Capital of Nigeria. This
is the very same jail facility for arrested Boko Haram terrorists that have commited the most
gruesome crimes against humanity.

Nnamdi Kanu was secretly tried before an Abuja Magistrate Court Judge without rights to
lawyer, without contacts with his family, or any IPOB official/member, or even the press. Report
has it that Buhari secrely notified British government of the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu and the
British officials flew to Abuja to meet with Buhari and to visit Nnamdi Kanu inside the terrorist
jail. Report also has it that those who were present the first time Nnamdi Kanu was secretly tried
soon after DSS arrested him were the British representatives and Buhari and he was secretly
found guilty with treason before the news of his arrest was leaked to the media. Since his arrest
he has been subjected to all sorts of inhumane treatments, violations, torture, and abuses that is
harmful to his health, mental emotional and psychological state of mindset.

Nnamdi Kanu is not a terrorist, he is not a criminal, he has not committed any crime and all bail
requirements were met but Buhari has refused to let go of Nnamdi Kanu. The Magisstrate court
granted Nnamdi Kanu bail but Buhari the dictator took a regress action against Nnamdi Kanu to
remain in the DSS jail and be tortured and depriving him of his rights to meet with his lawyers
and or see his families (father, mother, siblings, wife, and children). His parents made direct
appeal to Buhari to let them see their son, and his lawyers made a press release about not been
allowed to see their client, all to no avail. At Nnamdi Kanu‘s third hearing, but second court
appearance with his lawyers, his Lawyers begged the presiding judge to let their client be
transfered from the terrorist DSS jail toa prison where he could have free access to meet with his
lawyers and be able to see his families, specifically his parents, his wife, and his children. But by
the following day, Buhari’s Government announced that the prisons are suspended indefinitely
due to boko haram internal crisis and attacks on the prisons.

Nnamdi Kanu’s life is at risk and in grave danger. There is a growing concern of fear from his
families, his lawyers, and all families of Indigenous People of Biafrans that the DSS is acting on
Buhari, Obasanjo, and Britain order to slowly eliminate his life in the DSS jail while lying to the
British government that his welfare is been cared for and attended to. There is also growing
concerns that all of the assurances given to Britain by Buhari is not been followed and that it is
all but a sham. The latest information from a sympathetic agent within the DSS is that Buhari
has ordered that they should start gradually to introduce poison into Nnamdi Kanu‘s food so that
by the time he is released, he will not live up to a month and then die!!!

Nigerian court is known not to have merit, and though Nigeria gained its tootless and fruitless
independence over 50 years ago from Britain, the British government still controls Nigeria, and
many high-profile Nigeria cases who are not even British Citizen are often tried in British court
before a British Judge and the defendants, throughout the duration of the trial, are held in British
prison and if found guilty, are still kept in British prison to serve the sentencing. Why then is
Nnamdi Kanu who is a British Citizen be confined in a Nigerian terrorist jail? There is growing
concern that Britain has violated Nnamdi Kanu’s rights as a British Citizen. Is it NOT the duty
of the British Government to protect the life and safety of her citizens anywhere in the world
without discrimination? And for the British Government not to do something about the safety
and security of Nnamdi Kanu and to put pressure on Buhari to release him, there is a growing
concern that it is an indication of a conspiracy by Nigeria and the British Government to cut
short the life of Namdi Kanu like the dictator Abacha and the British Government when they cut
short the life of Ken Saro Wiwa.

It is disheartening that the media from countries touted as World powers have been very silent
about reporting the seriousness of Nnamdi Kanu incarceration and the killings of Biafrans at the
hands of the government of Nigeria. But the same world power media make reports of the
attacks and atrocities of Boko Haram terrorist activities and the crimes against humanity in
Buhari’s Northern region of Nigeria and neighboring nations that share boundary with the North
on daily basis!!! Even President Barrack Obama who is curently enjoying from the Civil Rights
Movement and Struggle of Martin Luther King Jr. is also looking the other way! Obama hasn’t
said a word on the Nnamdi Kanu’s illegal arrest, detention, and torture by Buhari. Why should
Nnamdi Kanu who is a British Citizen be in a Nigerian jail at all and be treated inhumanely for
expressing the voice of the opinions of the Indigenous People of Biafra? Nnamdi Kanu is
entitled to all of the priviledges that is accesible to all British Citizen anywhere in the world.
Like Gandhi in India, Martin Luther King Jr in the USA, Nelson Mandela in South Africa,
Nnamdi Kanu is preaching non-violence. The movement is very correct and the movement is not
illegal. What the Indigenous People of Biafra is agitating for is free to move on and have its own
Biafra nation and that Biafra should take its proper place on the world map among the African
nations.

It is very ambigous for Nigerian and British governments to act contrary to the 100 year
amalgamation terms and condition as already agreed upon. Buhari is moving in the direction that
would instigate war! Buhari and/or the Hausa-Fulani dominated Nigerian government do not
have respect for the rule of law. The resource of Biafra means much more to Buhari than the life
of every single Biafran. He has been secretly releasing the already-arrested Boko Haram
terrorists and then enlisting them into the military, equiping them in full military uniform, armor
vehicles, war weapons and deploring them to Biafra land on a genocide/murder mission to kill
unarmed non-violent Biafra peaceful protesters who are exercising their rights to freedom of
speech and calling for the release of Nnamdi Kanu leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra,
and for the restoration of their nation of Biafra. Just recently, Buahri deplored over 100 army
men from Warri in Biafra land to the North only for all of them to be attacked by Boko Haram
and murdered in cold blood.

Buhari is using all kinds of propaganda, tricks, and tactics to mis-represent the Biafra agitation,
and to brutalize and tanish the image and reputation of Nnamdi Kanu, and the unarmed Biafran
protesters. Biafra is not about Nigerian political mess; but Buhari and his ruling APC party see
the Biafra freedom quest as another aspect party politics. Since the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu,
Buhari and his wife Aisha, and their APC political party cronies have spent millions, billions,
and trillions of naira buying off a few cowardly elderly groups men, women of Biafran
extraction including elected governors, appointed federal ministers and other political
appointees, to act as agents on Buhari’s instructions to depict a false reputation of “Igbonizing“
(making it a mere “Igbo“ tribal agitation) the Biafra agitation and to criticize, mislead, deceive,
discourage, and scare away the younger generations of protesters for the restoration of Biafra.
Buhari has failed in all aspects of his propagenda tactics and he has created a new and most
recent slander, which is to label the Indigenous People of Biafra as a Terrorist Organization.
Yakubu Gowon and Britain labeled Biafrans as rebels during the 1967—1970 civil war and now
Buhari want to stigmatize the Indigenous People of Biafra with the tag of terrorism.

Buhari‘s response to Biafra agitators is; he won’t compromise Nigeria’s unity. But the word one
Nigeria is just a myth. There has never been a one united Nigeria. One Nigeria is a fraud. As one
of the founding fathers of the so-called Nigeria, Alhaji Tafewa Balewa stated in 1948 that “one
Nigeria is only a British invention.“ The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) are hounded,
harassed, massacred ,and incarcerated in violations of their civil and United Nations guaranteed
rights to agitate for self-determination. Buhari is breaking International Law by harassing and
killing the beleaguered and marginalized Indigenous Peoples of Biafra in Nigeria.
Americans are not aware of the genocide situation that Biafrans are facing under the government
of Buhari because the media is not reporting on Nnamdi Knau‘s situation and the Biafra
agitation for self-determination. Please anyway that you can make it possible for the Episcopal
Diocese to help will be highly appreciated. Trusting that this letter will give you a heads-up and
understanding of what we are bringing to the table for discussion with you at the meeting of
tomorrow. Once again we thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Submitted by representatives of IPOB-USA Boston Zone on this day of Monday, November 30,
2015.
