Popular social media company, Facebook have finally blacklisted the account of Biafra political activist, Nnamdi Kanu indefinitely.
Afriupdate can confirm that Kanu’s account has been banned and deleted for alleged dissemination of fake news, videos and propaganda.
Several persons aversed to Kanu’s agenda are believed to have petitioned the social media company, as Kanu uses the platform to make his routine broadcasts.
The diaspora-based leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) was billed to make his special broadcast on Tuesday evening. But his teeming followers were unable to listen his “lecture” on Facebook following the well-timed embargo.

Carolyn Okorafor, Kanu’s Principal Secretary confirmed the development through her known Twitter handle on Tuesday evening.
“MNK’s Facebook page is down! Now you know we are doing something right! When the enemy knows your working…they will try to stop you! But as always #WOVE,” Okorafor stated.

Also reacting to Kanu’s Facebook page ban, Amaka Ekwo, Kanu’s former Press Secretary expressed her displeasure.
“@Facebook, tell us why you deleted Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s Facebook account? It’s of public interest. Over 50 million Biafrans across the globe visit his page for information relating to the liberation of our people. Please respect freedom of speech. Stop oppressing #Biafra,” Ekwo wrote on Wednesday.
