The former Niger Delta militant leader, however, said that he is not a supporter of Kanu because he is a Biafran and both of them are operating on different platforms.
According to him, ''I am not a supporter of Kanu. We are both Biafrans but operating on different platforms. We have different platforms.
''He has done more in the struggle for the actualization of Biafra than I have, because Radio Biafra has done more broadcasting the agitation than anyone else. But I am not his supporter because we started Biafran agitation long before Kanu''.
Meanwhile, NAIJ.com had reported that Anthony Ogbizi, the Abia state police commissioner declared that since the IPOB had been designated a terrorist group, arrested members would be tried as terrorists.
