But the whereabouts of the IPOB leader is immediately known but a reliable source from the family confirmed that he was safe, At about 5.30 shortly after Governor Okezie Ikpeazu ended his media briefing where he announced that he has reached an understanding with the army for gradual withdrawal of soldiers from the streets of Aba and Umuahia, sounds of sporadic gun shooting started coming out from the direction of Kanu’s home.
All the entrances leading to the house were barricaded with military vans with scores of soldiers stationed there, shooting in the air to scare away people. The shooing and operation in the house lasted for over 30 minutes.
According to a family source, “the Palace was desecrated and ransacked as the soldiers searched all nooks and crannies of the house”.

ReplyDeleteIt is a shame that Ill equipped Nigerian army is displaying lack of respect for the whole of Igbo people. This is ethnic cleansing and hatred ochestrated by islamic republic of Nigeria. Our will can never be broken. There is absolutely nothing wrong to seek republic from republic. It is not by force to live together
ReplyDeleteI still believe that the vice president of the senate is an Igbo so also is all the governors of the Igbo states. But all of them has refuse to give IPOB a public support and it means those agitators are on their own.
DeleteI don't care what anyone says. I have always supported Nigerian unity. However, this action of Nigerian military changes everything for me. I will never love Nigeria in my heart. I can never associate to Nigeria no matter what happens.
ReplyDeleteWhen houseflies eat wound on someone's leg, nobody sees. But when the person kills the flies and puts them in his mouth, people will say he is mad.
ReplyDeleteKanu has bitten more than he can chew.
I hope u pple have gallant soldiers, keep drumming the drum of war and wen the war start knocking at the door u will start shouting fouls.I pity these innocents pple that allowed thrmself to be used.. Kanu is a scam,open ur eye ndigbo
ReplyDeleteA word is enough for a wise
ReplyDeletePlease let preach peace because this war some people are drumming can not help us
ReplyDeleteKanu who was drumming for war could have come out to defend Biafra. Omo ko ri ogun oni ki Ogun wa. Who is Kanu in front of our gallant forces.He should bear the respossibility of what he caused to his people. Mutumu banzai. Kanu should listen to the elders of his community.

ReplyDeleteSome people are making selfish comment showing the level of selfishness in them, is there any security threats in the southeast that warrant Buhari and Brutai to deploy soldiers there, remember we are in the democratic government where every one can say his or her mind, but now under Buhari no body can say his mind, fuel price was increased no body protested the fear of army, now soldiers has been deployed to southeast for just a mere agitation which a constitutional right of a democrat, when herdsmen were killing there is no army even on the street, u can see that Buhari has plan, don't be surprise that by Oct 1, they will start killing the Igbos in the north, Buhari and Brutai will give a deft ear to that, I only blame our Igbo leaders and people for not being together and so been betrayer to our brotherhood, soon they will jump to Yoruba land quote me, they will anybody that do not believe what they believe, if they are Christian their action will tell u, but this is jihad in the name of military, this is an attempt to islamised Nigeria, and Buhari is doing it with the show of force, that is why he choose people that will to his command in the area of defence, customs and security. But one thing is sure, they will not last, s event unfolding
ReplyDeleteHosting of Biafra national flag is the first threat to the sovereignty of Nigeria, creating an intelligence service group is another threat. The fact that, you're in democracy does not give you the right to hate speeches,you make your demands intelligently.
DeleteSome people are just fools when they comment,whether you like ibos or not makes no meaning to me because what gona be must surely gona be,for those of you that hates Ibo and are happy about what is happening in south east,let me tell you, we don't even care about you because we are busy with those that love us,and don't be happy about what is happening in south east because you are not even save where you are in naija.
ReplyDeleteI prayed for Almighty Allah intervention in to this looming crisis that some people are trying to divide Nigeria between Religion and Ethnicity. GOD you are the All knowing of those brain behind all these you should use your power and crushed all the Devils in Human skin those who are trying to send us in to Crisis in our Country. Ameen.
