The Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB), is facing a tough battle to stop the authorities of the United Kingdom from deporting its member, Mr. Victor Ugochukwu Enuobi to Nigeria.
Enuobi is the Deputy Coordinator of IPOB in Kent and was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment for the sale of tobacco without license.
He had served out his jail term and has the option to remain in UK, but there are pressures on the government to deport him.
According to Mr. Anderson Okeke, who spoke in Awka, ”there is no point deporting him since he has served out his jail term, but there pressures to deport him and we are suspecting the remote hands of the Nigerian government.
Okeke alleged that “once Enuobi is deported to Nigeria, the security operatives in Nigeria would arrest him and then you all know what would happen to him.
“We have written the government in the United Kingdom not to deport him because his life is at risk and we never can tell what would become of his fate”.
Mr Enuobi Kent, Deputy co-odinator of the proscribed IPOB and manager of Biafran Football UK, has deportation issues hanging on his neck it was learnt from a reliable source, Mr. Okeke said.
“Except something is done urgently Mr Enuobi maybe ushered into waiting hands Department of State security in Nigeria by the UK.
“He is also not alone in this plot to deport our members because about 13 of them are under this condition and these people are very loyal members that have been neck deep in this struggle and some were with our leader Nnamdi Kanu before he was kidnapped by the Nigerian government,” he said.
