The family of the leader of the
Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nmandi Kanu, has called on the military to
provide their brother-Kanu and their parents, HRH, Eze Kanu and his wife dead
or alive.
Spokesperson for the family,
Prince Emmanuel Kanu, told the Sun that they have been asking the Nigerian
authorities to produce Nnamdi Kanu and their parents.
Nnamdi Kanu and his parents’
whereabouts have remained unknown since the October 2017 invasion of their
Afara Ukwu home in Umuahia, Abia State by the military.
Prince Kanu said, “We’ve been
asking the military to produce my brother, Nnamdi, and our parents because
since after the raid on our home, we’ve not seen or communicated with any one
of them yet. The military should provide them anywhere they are.
“As I speak with you, no one
would really say if my parents are still alive because we’ve not seen nor heard
from them ever since the invasion by the army.
“It is the hope of every family
member that they are still alive because they did not do anything wrong to
warrant their being killed. The hope that they are still alive of course is
what is keeping other members of the family going till today.
“Each time we make the request,
the army would come out to deny that they never arrested the monarch and his
wife. But it should be noted that the Nigerian Army has been known as people
that tell lies so much; they are full of lies all the time. When they kidnapped
my brother in 2015, they lied about it until pressure came before they admitted
and the DSS too.
“So, the same thing has happened
again. The same thing that happened in the case of Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, has
happened again. So, their duty is to unlawfully take people, keep them wherever
suits them until they find out what to do with that person. So, I believe
Nnamdi Kanu is still alive somewhere, but then, we expect them to produce him
whether dead or alive.
“The other time we drew the
attention of the international community about the military invasion of our
home, the Chief of Army staff, Lt. General Buratai said that they never invaded
our house until the Minister of Defence, Mansur Dan Ali said he authorized the
invasion of our home which made it a little clearer to the wider world.
“The Afara Ukwu community, my
father’s subjects and his cabinet, they miss him so much, the executives of
Isiama Afara Ukwu miss him too. In fact, the entire Ibeku and Abia State as a
whole miss him so much.
“Particularly, Afara Ukwu people
feel his absence much because he is the chief security officer of the community
and you know what it means for him to have been away from his kingdom for this
long, they miss his leadership and they miss the interaction with them so much.”
