IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu
By PAMELA EBOH, Awka
Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has called the attention of the world over the alleged arrest and air lifting of suspected supporters of the IPOB to states in northern Nigeria for possible execution without trace.
Kanu in a statement to journalists in Awka, Anambra State capital, accused Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, security agencies and the Nigerian government of conspiring to arrest Jewish worshippers praying inside a synagogue and citizens of Obigbo Local Government Area of the state.
He said in the statement issued on Saturday: “IPOB intelligence unit discovered how Nigeria Army in collaboration with Gov Wike was picking anybody suspected to be IPOB or supporter of IPOB in Obigbo Rivers State.
“Our intelligence revealed that the Nigeria Army and police abducted over 300 innocent people out of Rivers State and took them to Army barracks in some Northern States including Niger, Zamfara, Kaduna, Katsina and Kano with the intention of keeping them incommunicado to their people before taking them to abattoir where they will slaughter them without the knowledge of the public.
“It is also at our disposal that the Nigeria Government, Gov Wike and the Army slaughtered over 500 innocent people and arrested more than 1,000 persons in Obigbo LGA Rivers State during the EndSARS protest in Nigeria.
“We are equally aware of those scattered in so many barracks particularly the 300 innocent youths detained in Obinze army barrack in Imo State and other army barracks in Biafraland. Nigeria government and her partners in crime, the security forces are abducting youths of Biafra from Rivers State and airlifting them to the Boko Haram territories for possible executions.”
According to Kanu, the group is putting the global community, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, civil society organisations, the international media the , CNN, BBC, Reuters and others on notice of the caliphate’s plans going on against unarmed and Peaceful people of IPOB at Obigbo Rivers State with the instructions of Rivers State Governor.
While accusing the Nigerian Army Headquarters of secretly removing innocent Jewish worshipers and Christians from Biafraland to dungeons in the Islamic Northern part of Nigeria, Kanu called for those spearheading the atrocities to be held accountable.
