Detained IPOB Leader Nnamdi Kanu with his lawyers during a recent court appearance
By PAMELA EBOH, Awka
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has warned Elders and politicians of Igbo extraction of Biafra in Abuja never to return home to Biafraland without its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
IPOB handed down the warning in a statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, on Monday, August 1, 2022.
The group said: “As terrorists and insecurity is gradually but surely taking over the Nigeria seat of power, Abuja, we, the global movement and noble family of the Indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB) led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, wish to remind the so-called Elders and politicians of Igbo extraction of Biafra in Abuja never to return home to Biafraland without Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.”
It expressed delight over the fulfillment of almost all the prophecies of its leader, Kanu, saying: “We expect the caliphate-sponsored terrorists to take over Aso Rock any moment from now and ensure that Nigeria Government led by impostors called presidency don't exist anymore in fulfilment of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s prophecy.
“It is crystal clear that these terrorists and jihadists after taking over the Zoo seat of power, will come down to the Western and Eastern Nigeria. The entire South are not safe anymore and there is urgent need for entire South to re-strategize and get the already infiltrated terrorists out of our territories without delay.
“As there is fire on the mountain and Abuja is being encircled by terrorists, we advise Biafra politicians in Abuja never to think of returning to South East Region without coming back with Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. They must do all they could to ensure that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is back here in the East with them because Abuja is no more safe again.
“The land of Biafra and our ancestors will not spare them if they return to East without Mazi Nnamdi Kanu being released unconditionally from the DSS custody.
“We have warned our people severally to understand that Fulani people have prepared to take over Nigeria and forcefully islamise the country, they never listened. Now ‘Ugo Eberela na mgbagbu’ (the chicken has come home to roost) and our people will not escape it without the assistance of IPOB and ESN Volunteers.
“All Eastern politicians, businessmen and women, traditional rulers, Senators and Federal House of Representatives, Religious men and women, including Governors must ensure the urgent release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu as ordered by United Nations, otherwise the land will not contain us and them.
“We have the records of those that colluded with the zoo government to kidnap and extra-ordinarily rendition Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from Kenya to Nigeria last year June. Unless Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is unconditionally released and compensated for the flagrant violation of his fundamental human rights as directed by the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, those useful idiots and their generations will have no place in the land.”
IPOB further warned that failure to heed to the peaceful advice will lead to it (IPOB) never heeding to any plea when the jungle matures.
It added: “Our people and Nigeria should understand that the peace of Nigeria and, especially that of East, lies with Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. A stitch in time saves nine. We are warning ahead of time. A word is enough for the wise.”
