Radio Biafra continues broadcast despite Kanu’s arrest

Controversial Radio Biafra continued broadcasting on Monday despite the arrest of the director of the radio, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu.

Kanu was purportedly arrested by the men of the Department of State Services on Saturday when he arrived Lagos from his base in London.

Ardent listeners to the radio told our correspondent that the Internet-based radio continued with its broadcast issuing ultimatum to the Federal Government to release its director within 48 hours or face a revolt.

However, attempt by our correspondent to download the Radio Biafra app from the Internet on Monday failed.

Attempt to speak with broadcast industry regulator failed as calls to the spokesperson for the National Broadcasting Commission, Mr. Awwalu Salihu, in Abuja on Monday, were not picked.
