Igbo enemies recruiting criminals to destroy South-East – Kanu

The detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, says enemies of Nigeria’s South-East region are the sponsors of the so-called ‘Unknown Gunmen’ unleashing terror on innocent citizens of the zone.

A statement by IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, conveyed the separatist leader’s warning.

Kanu told lawbreakers to desist from their nefarious activities and make the region safe during the Yuletide period and beyond.

The statement partly read, “It is imperative to deliver the message from our great leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to all Biafrans both home and abroad, including the big and small politicians and business persons in Biafraland to stop all forms of violence and tension against our people as our enemies are relentlessly exploiting our people and recruiting criminals to destroy in particular Igboland and blame it on IPOB.

“This message is coming from our great and indefatigable leader, Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu Kanu, who has been illegally detained in DSS custody by Nigerian government since over one year ago. He conveyed the message through his lawyers during their visit to him at Abuja DSS custody yesterday.

“Our leader issued a stern warning to those who are contracted and bought by the criminal believing that he is an IPoB member and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s disciple to ferment trouble in the Eastern region to desist from being agents of destabilization because they cannot succeed.
