Bafra Nations League, BNL, have asked it's members in the region and other areas of their influence to maintain calmn. BNL expressed shock over the arrest and extradition of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu by Nigeria governmen. In a statement from the operational base of Biafra Nations League - BNL in Bakassi, and jointly signed by the National Leader, Princewill Chimezie Richard, Deputy National Leader and Head of Operations BBs Media, Ebuta Akor Takon and the BNL Head of Operations, Henry Edet on Wednesday, the group disclosed that it's followers has been calling in from different locations in South South and South East, including Southern Cameroons to know the position of the group,

"we have told all our colleagues not just those in our operational headquarters in Bakassi but supporters calling us from other areas in South South, South East and even our border allies in Southern Cameroon that everyone should stay calm while we observe the situation for now". BNL added it would wait for the outcome of July 26 hearing before any further reactions, adding that the arrest of any Biafra agitator is an issue that concerns everyone in the movement.

However, BNL have asked the Federal Government to handle Kanu's trial with caution to avoid violent reactions in the South East and South South by Biafran supporters as it could worsen the insecurity in the regions. They noted that many youths who believe that Biafra should exist as a separate state are ready to rebel against the Nigerian State, insisting that arrest, detention and killings cannot end the movement.
