NNAMDI Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has acknowledged that  himself and his deputy, Uche Mefor, knew about the live broadcast on Radio Biafra slated for Sunday in the United States of America, USA.

Kanu, who spoke through his lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, in a telephone conversation with an online portal, Premium Times, yesterday, said he was aware but did not give permission for the launch.

Radio Biafra was slated to go on air live in the US, yesterday, according to Leonard Anemene, a leader of the organisation, in a statement issued on Friday.

Anemene noted that if not for some challenges, the project would have been out earlier. He, however, failed to disclose the exact location where the station will be operating from.

“Radio Biafra has approval and authorisation to set up in America according to the US laws, Kanu said, adding: “But neither me nor my deputy, Uche Mefor, gave approval for it to go on air in America.”

Kanu is currently being tried by the federal government for treason based on his formation of IPOB, establishment of Radio Biafra, and his call for a sovereign Biafran state.
