The Presidency on Monday said the
reappearance of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi
Kanu has vindicated the Nigerian government.
President Muhammadu Buhari’s
Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, in an interview
with BBC Hausa Service, said the Nigerian government has been vindicated of
accusations of assassinating or kidnapping Kanu.
Kanu was last seen in September
2017 when military men invaded his residence in Afaraukwu in Abia State.
Following his disappearance, the
Nigerian government was accused of kidnapping and even killing the IPOB leader.
However, the IPOB leader last
week resurfaced in Jerusalem where he was seen praying.
Reacting to Kanu’s reappearance,
Shehu asserted that Kanu’s trial will definitely continue.
He said, “If it happens to be
true, the video footage showing Mr Nnamdi Kanu; the truth has been revealed
about his alleged assassination against Nigerian government.
“This fairy tale went up to
United Nations General Assembly where some IPOB members staged a protest
accusing Nigeria government of kidnapping and even killing of Mr. Kanu.”
Shehu also stated that with the
re-appearance of Kanu, “people will know who lied between the government and
those that made accusations.”
