Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Independent People of Biafra (IPOB),
says anyone who tries to arrest him will die. He said this in reaction to the call of the
federal government that his bail should be revoked.
After spending 18 months in detention, following
his arrest by the Department of State Services (DSS), Binta Nyako, justice of a
federal high court in Abuja, granted him bail on
April 25.
But
the activist has flouted all the bail conditions, prompting the calls for his
arrest.
But
speaking on Sunday at Boys Technical College (BTC) in Aba, Abia state, Kanu
paid tribute to those reportedly killed at National High School, by security
agencies.
He
said the quest for Biafra was unstoppable, adding that the call is a “message
from heaven.”
He
also insisted that the Anambra gubernatorial election will be boycotted except
a referendum which the group has been clamouring, is conducted.
“Where
we are, is Biafra Land. Aba is the spiritual capital of Biafra land. We started
in Aba in 2015 at CKC (Christ the King Catholic Cathedral),” Kanu said.
“That
day, heaven authenticated our move that IPOB will restore Biafra and that’s
what we’ve come to do. We died in Aba; at National High School.
“They
shot and killed us in other places in Biafra land when they were protesting for
my release. As our people rest in the grave, we’ll never rest until Biafra is
restored. I don’t care what they say in Abuja. I don’t give a damn what they
say in Lagos.
“I’m
a Biafran and we are going to crumble the zoo. Some idiots who are not educated
said that they’ll arrest me, and I ask them to come. I’m in Biafra land. If any
of them leaves Biafra land alive know that this is not IPOB. Tell them that’s
what I said.
“Tell
Buhari that I’m in Aba and any person who comes to arrest Nnamdi Kanu in Biafra
land will die here. I’ll never go on exile I assure you.
“Some
people talk about restructuring, are we doing restructuring of Nigeria now? Are
we doing fiscal federalism? Are we doing devolution? What we want is Biafra!
“Forget
all the nonsense they write about us. We are not slowing down and no man born
of a woman can stop us.
“They
thought we are joking and God gave us a simple message that no one can stop us.
The movement to restore Biafra is unstoppable.
“The
message of heaven is what I bring to you. Don’t be afraid. The plans of our
enemies are not going to be actualized. The enemies are planning, but we are
formidable.
“We
are going to boycott Anambra state election. After Anambra 2017, in 2019,
there’ll be no elections in Biafra land. Signed and sealed. My message is that
there’ll not be election in Biafra land ever again until they give us date for
referendum.”
