Many Nigerians have over the years wondered where the location of a network of internet-based radio stations broadcasting the agenda of the Indigenous People of Biafra, (IPOB) known as ‘Radio Biafra’ was located.
Yesterday, the Cable News Network, CNN, unearthed a tucked away down a quiet, leafy street in Peckham, southeast London, the registered address of the group.
CNN described the place as a suburban spot, noting that it is the unlikely location of Radio Biafra.
Africa Today News, New York recalls that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu founded IPOB in 2012 and established Radio Biafra in 2009. The group was created to restore an independent state of Biafra.

Radio Biafra was also created to disseminate, enlighten, educate, inform and criticise the activities of the Nigerian government by Kanu.
IPOB was banned by the Federal government in 2017. However, on October 19, 2015, Kanu was arrested for treasonable felony, sedition, and ethnic incitement. He was released on bail in 2017 and fled to the UK.
IPOB has criticized the Nigerian federal government for poor investment, political alienation, inequitable resource distribution, ethnic marginalization, heavy military presence, extra-judicial killings in the South-Eastern, South-Central, and parts of North-Central regions of the country.
He was re-arrested in Keyan and brought back to Nigeria to face his charges.
