Supporters of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, has on Monday, September 25 celebrated his birthday even though his whereabouts is unknown.

The IPOB leader's supporters took to the social media to celebrate him for his role in the agitation for an independent Biafran nation.

Theophlius Okelue in his reaction says: "Happy birthday, mazi Nnamdi Kanu. I thank God for bringing you into this world. You are a blessing to our tribe may you live to actualize your dream.

Jim Scott, said: "May God add many many more years to the years of this fearless lion and great hero. Long live Nnamdi KANU. May you live long and see your children children. Happy birthday.

"Happy birthday the Biafra supreme leader. I wish you the best. May the almighty protect you my brother," Bukas Thony said.

Ony Ogbonna wrote: "Our mentor, our great leader, our lovely prince, with your roaring voice, all pythons in Nigeria pop-up from their nooks and crannies to dance to the tune of your echo. We Biafrans love you till eternity. Happy Birthday to you our prince.

As the leader of IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu has been at the forefront of the agitation for the independence of Biafra from Nigeria and as a result, has suffered imprisonment.

But many observers believe Nnamdi Kanu's approach to the Biafran agitation is counterproductive given his penchant for making inciting statements.

However, despite Kanu's penchant for confrontational statements, many others also believe the IPOB leader's agitation will end up benefiting Nigerians at large, irrespective of tribe or region.

Meanwhile, NAIJ.com had reported that the leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, challenged the court decision to proscribe his group.

Kanu, in a motion on notice filed against an order made by the Federal High Court on Wednesday, September 20, said the order proscribing IPOB as a terrorist organization is illegal.

The motion also stressed that the IPOB is a non-violent group and that the Abuja Division of the Federal High made its order based on a motion ex-parte without the presence of other party or parties involved in the matter.
