Radio Biafra also known as Voice of Biafra, is a Nigerian radio station which is believed to have its first transmission before the Nigeria-Biafra war.[1] The radio station was instrumental in the broadcast of speeches and propaganda by Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu to the people of the Republic of Biafra.[2] Radio Biafra currently broadcasts from an unknown location and has come under criticism for "preaching hate messages" against Nigeria which it refers to as a “zoo” and also "inciting war" through its programmes.[3] Radio Biafra claims to be broadcasting the ideology of Biafra –"Freedom of the Biafra people".[4] Presently, Radio Biafra has only one anchor popularly called "Director"; and has its transmission location majorly on the South-Eastern part of Nigeria especially in Abia State and Rivers State.[5]
On 14 July 2015, it was reported in the media that the radio station was banned by the National Broadcasting Commission.[6] The radio station later went on to social network website Twitter to rubbish such claims.[7]
