Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB)
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, a prince of Afaraukwu Ibeku, is the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), a separatist group advocating for the independence of Biafra, a region in southeastern Nigeria. From his base in London, Kanu mobilized widespread support for the Biafran cause, and his efforts have sparked significant political debate and tension within Nigeria.
Kanu is known for his bold political statements, including accusations of international involvement in Nigerian elections, and claims that Boko Haram was used to destabilize the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan. He was arrested and rendered back to Nigeria, where he remains detained by security forces, earning both admiration and criticism for his courage and controversial views.
