The documents also revealed the arrest and detention of Madu, who admitted to Department of State Services (DSS) agents that he was a member of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB).

Madu was arrested by agents of DSS after a container was discovered in his home that contained a radio transmitter that was transmitting Radio Biafra programming.

Weapons found in his home include an Emerald Magnum pump-action shotgun, a Delia pump-action shotgun, a packet containing 17 12-calibre cartridges, and another a packet containing 24 12-calibre cartridges.

The list also included a reference to a small satchel “containing substances suspected to be Indian Hemp”.

SaharaReporters earlier this week obtained a statement used by DSS as evidence that “Biafran soldiers” were linked to IPOB.

In the statement references were made to armed individuals present at IPOB meetings and training exercises.  The statement was written by Tochukwu Meribe and described his experiences with IPOB as a member of the organization.

It will be recalled that the leader of IPOB and the Director of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, was arrested on October 18, 2015. He remains in custody despite being granted bail.
