IPOB threatens reprisals if security agents harass members at Kanu’s parents’ burial IPOB Biafra NnamdiKanu Nigeria
The Indigenous People of Biafra has cautioned that members of the group would retaliate should security agencies exhibit any traces of brutality during the burial of the late Eze Israel Okwu Kanu and his wife, Ugoeze Sally Mmeme at Afaraukwu in Umuahia, Abia State tomorrow.
The Guardian learnt that police and military personnel have been deployed in their large numbers and have been patrolling the community, purportedly to stop IPOB members from participating in the funeral rites with Nnamdi Kanu, who has been declared wanted by the authorities for allegedly jumping bail for treasonable charges.
“We the global family of IPOB wish to state in clear and unambiguous terms that what the Nigeria police and army are planning to do in Afaraukwu during the burial of Israel Okwu Kanu and his wife on Friday, February 14, 2020 will set-off a chain reaction from which Nigeria will never recover.” “All those who have supported the unprovoked murderous clampdown on IPOB will pay dearly for it. IPOB has remained peaceful, but it seems the Nigerian government is bent on provoking us into armed struggle that will inevitably precipitate the violent disintegration of the country,” the statement reads.
