Kanu was apprehended by police operatives on Saturday, October 17 when he returned from London.

According to IReporters, the protesters gathered at the Amnesty International headquarters waving Biafran flags and calling for the immediate and unconditional release of the radio Biafra boss.

His arrests spurred several protests in Rivers and Delta who marched to their government houses to call for his release.

Several pro-Biafran supporters were arrested and sentenced to prison although the Itsekiri people in Delta state have dissociated themselves from the agitation for an independent state.

The agitation for an independent Biafra state has hit the international scene as Kanu's detention was mentioned in the British parliament.
