The Indigenous People of Biafra has petitioned 21 foreign missions and international bodies, including the United Nations, the United States, and the United Kingdom, seeking global intervention over what it described as the unlawful detention and torture of its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
In a letter dated November 12, 2025, and titled “SOS – Urgent Global Humanitarian Intervention to End the Unlawful Detention and Torture of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu,” IPOB appealed to world powers to step in, alleging continued violation of court orders and international human rights rulings by the Nigerian government.
The group said the correspondence was sent to embassies and high commissions in Abuja, including those of France, Germany, Canada, Russia, China, Israel, Japan, South Korea, South Africa, Turkey, Brazil, Ghana, Kenya, and Ethiopia, as well as the International Criminal Court and the African Union.
