Minister of Interior, General
Abdulrahman Dambazau (rtd) has denied reports that quoted him as saying leader
of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu will be killed.
Dambazau allegedly said killing
Kanu would not tear Nigeria apart, citing the deaths of MKO Abiola, his wife,
Kudirat, Ken Sawo-Wiwa and the imprisonment of Obafemi Awolowo, as examples of
people who had suffered in the hands of the federal government.
In his reaction, Dambazau described
the report as false and malicious, adding that the perpetrators are out to
cause disaffection, disunity and insecurity while creating public unrest.
His denial was contained in a
statement signed by the press secretary, Osaigbovo Ehisienmen.
The statement reads, “The
attention of the Honourable minister of Interior, Lt General (Rtd) Abdulrahman
Bello Dambazau, has been drawn to a fabricated, malicious, ridiculous and false
report posted on Linda Ikejis blog and other social media platforms, in which
the minister is falsely accused of threatening to kill Nnamdi Kanu, leader of
IPOB.”
“The statement attributed to the
Interior Minister is untrue and quite unfortunate, because the perpetrators of
the falsehood and gross innuendoes ought to know that Gen Dambazau (Rtd), a
former Chief of Army Staff and a renowned, seasoned security expert with over
30 years PhD degree in criminology cannot conceive such ideals, nor take the
credit for such.
“The perpetrators of the
malicious statements are out to cause disaffection, disunity and insecurity
while creating public unrest, detrimental to the well-being of Nigerians and
other foreign nationals in the Country. He therefore called on Nigerians to
disregard their antics, as government is committed to the good and prosperity
of every Nigerian.”
