The detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has maintained he has no hand in the continuos Monday sit-at-home order in the Southeast.
Kanu is quoted to have said this while conversing with former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu and two bishops at the Department of State Services, DSS, headquarters in Abuja earlier, Naija News understands.
There has been outrage over the continuous observance of Monday sit-at-home in the Southeast, most especially whenever Kanu is to appear before the court for his trial.
The IPOB leader and his group have, however, distanced themselves from the reoccurring sit-at-home, threatening that those behind its enforcement would be dealt with.
Former Deputy Governor of Abia State, Enyinnaya Abaribe had earlier disclosed that Kanu denied issuing the order during a meeting.
Buttressing on the claims, IPOB spokesman, Emma Powerful, on Thursday maintained that Kanu has no hand in the recurring order.
“It is a true statement from Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe because we stated it before now that our leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU through his lawyers asked IPOB members and leadership precisely the DOS to stop Monday sit-at-home order, those enforcing non-existent Monday sit-at-home order killing and burning down properties belonging to Biafrans will incur the wrath of IPOB in due cause,” Powerful noted.
He warned that “Those enforcing this non-existent Monday sit-at-home order will soon regret their actions because they are not IPOB members and don’t know or understand what IPOB is capable of doing. They must regret what they are doing in our land. Their actions are detestable both to God and man. Such people have nothing in common with IPOB.”
According to Powerful, the recent information and statement from Senator Abaribe have vindicated IPOB’s legal team and DOS who obliged the information from their lawyers who indicated how Kanu instructed the group to stop Monday sit-at-home.
He added that “Those in America and some parts of Europe issuing fake orders to blackmail IPOB and its operational leadership that the lawyers lied should be ready to embrace what is to come against them. It’s better everybody hears Senator Abaribe but those claiming to be Nnamdi Kanu disciple and using it to change IPOB strategy will regret their actions.
“Again, it has come to the knowledge of the great family of IPOB that they are now peddling lies against IPOB and our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu that he sidetracked the people of Ebonyi State in the leadership of IPOB. Such tissue of lie does not merit any response as doing so will amount to dignifying it. The truth is that the entire Biafraland is fully represented in the leadership of IPOB. The gullible minds are following the gimmicks and antics these confusionists are using to deceive them. IPOB is one family today, tomorrow and forever and nothing will change that strategy that is holding us together till eternity.”
“We are watching them because soon their cups will be full and overflow.
“If you know you are truly for Biafra freedom don’t fall into these liers and deceivers because the truth will soon emerge,” the IPOB leader added.
Meanwhile, former militant leader, Asari Dokubo has accused former President Olusegun Obasanjo of supporting Nnamdi Kanu, the embattled leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
Dokubo who spoke on Facebook live video on Wednesday, February 9, alleged that Obasanjo is encouraging IPOB to kill people in the Southeastern region of the country.
The ex-militant leader said Southwest leaders couldn’t use Sunday Igboho to cause cause ‘war’ in the region but are showing support for Kanu to destroy Southeast.
Reacting to a recent claim by an unnamed member of IPOB that many of his loyalists were killed by some unknown gunmen in Imo state, Dokubo said it was all lie.
