The Nigerian separatist movement being powered from a suburban London home

This suburban spot is the unlikely location for Radio Biafra, a network of internet-based amateur radio stations broadcasting a separatist agenda back to listeners in Nigeria.Radio Biafra is operated by Nnamdi Kanu, a British citizen leading the calls to revive the former Republic of Biafra through an organization he founded called the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).The group was banned by the Nigerian government in 2017 and Kanu has been arrested several times on charges of treason and instigating violence.He was first arrested in October 2015 for treasonable felony, among other charges. He was released on bail in 2017 and fled to the UK.Before his most recent arrest in Kenya in June, Kanu’s supporters used the Peckham house for Radio Biafra broadcasts, according to Darlington Imoh, who answered the door when CNN visited in August. He describes himself as the “officer of output for the Biafran campaign.”But Adekoya acknowledges that Buhari faces an uphill battle on the issue of separatism. “You can sit back and let the separatists gain in popularity — which of course threatens the existence of the Nigerian state — or you can crack down on them,” Adekoya said.Faced with this dilemma, Nigeria appears to be at an impasse, and Adekoya said the country’s future looks grim ahead of pivotal presidential elections planned for 2023.”The worst-case scenario … is the country essentially disintegrates, perhaps not into a full-blown civil war, but into a lot of violence,” he said.Nigeria is betting on stifling the voices of leaders such as Kanu to quash any attempts to break away.However, Imoh, the Peckham-based IPOB supporter, told CNN the Biafran independence movement would not die — even if Kanu is not around — because “if you kill one general, another general takes his place.”
