Family of the leader of
Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has expressed anger and
worry over the conflicting reports concerning his whereabouts.
They again called on the
military to tell them where their parents and son, Nnamdi are as they have not
been able to see or communicate with them since the army invaded their home
last year. As a result, IPOB has threatened to embark on a mass action to force
the government to produce Kanu.
Recall that soldiers
invaded the house of the Kanus late last year and since then; both the IPOB
leader and his parents had not been seen or heard of, fuelling speculation that
they may have been detained or killed by the military. The security agencies
have however consistently denied the charge.
The call yesterday by
the spokesman of the family, Prince Emma Kanu follows fresh rumours making the
rounds that Nnamdi Kanu and his parents are neither dead nor in detention as
they had been traced to Ghana and Umuahia respectively. The rumour was
confirmed to Saturday Sun on Friday by a highly
placed security source.
According to Emma, “If
the military knows Nnamdi Kanu and my parents’ whereabouts, they better let us
know and provide them without delay. If they know where they are, they should
go and bring them, it’s as simple as that. How come my parents are with us in
Umuahia and we cannot see or communicate with them? It’s impossible; they know
what they are doing.
“Is it not the same
military that denied the invasion of our house that came out now to say my parents
are in Umuahia and Nnamdi in Ghana; they should go to Umuahia and bring them,
let’s see or go to Ghana and bring Nnamdi Kanu let’s see.”
The family spokesman
said the way their son’s whereabouts was being gossiped about has turned Nnamdi
into a ghost. “The other time, some people said they saw Nnamdi Kanu going to
London through Malaysia, others have said they saw him in Germany, Ghana and
Cameroon. The military will soon come out to say they saw him in Kano. It’s
like my brother has now become a ghost that he should be seen everywhere. If
this is so, it goes to confirm our fears that the military who took him away
when they raided our home last year had killed him and his ghost is now moving
about in those places.”
He said “all these are
tissues of lies being propped by the military with the intention of diverting
attention from people asking them where my parents and brother are. All these
are tissues of lies from the pit of hell being junked out by the military
thinking that will stop the family, Biafrans and the international community
from asking them where they kept Nnamdi and his parents because they (military)
saw them last.
