A video currently trending online shows the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, directing members of the American Veterans of Igbo Descent (AVID), the Rising Sun Group, and Ambassadors for Self Determination to raise funds to support his medical and legal needs.
In the footage, Kanu reportedly appealed to the groups to mobilize resources, citing the urgent need for medical attention and sustained legal representation. The development has sparked mixed reactions among supporters and critics on social media, with some expressing solidarity while others questioned the fundraising call.
Kanu has been in detention facing charges related to treasonable felony, and the video has renewed public discussions about his health and the prolonged nature of his legal battle.
