Self-styled leader of the
proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, yesterday revealed
details of a brief discussion he had with late Alex Badeh, a former chief of
Defense Staff, while in Kuje prison.
Badeh, who served as the
immediate past Chief of Defence Staff, was assassinated along the Abuja-Keffi
highway last Tuesday evening.
Speaking on the murder of Badeh
during a special worldwide broadcast from Israel, Kanu alleged that the late Chief
of Air Staff was murdered on the instructions of some persons in the
government.
The IPOB leader, quoting a
popular national newspaper copiously, said close associates of the late CDS
claimed he (Badeh) met with Mrs Aisha Buhari recently to seek help with his
corruption cases pending in court because it was taking huge emotional and
financial toll on him.
But the wife of the president
reportedly told him only Abba Kyari, President Muhammadu Buhari’s Chief of
Staff, could help him so she took him to Mr Kyari who was non-committal.
Afterwards, Kyari reportedly told Badeh to call him later. The late CDS did
call back but never got a response.
Against that background, Kanu
said Aisha Buhari’s reference to Abba Kyari as Badeh’s messiah only “confirms
that President Buhari is not alive and Jubril Aminu Al-Sudani does whatever Mr.
Kyari says. I told you ab initio that the main culprits in this (Badeh’s
killing) are Abba Kyari and Mamman Daura,” he alleged.
On the rationale behind Badeh’s
assassination, Kanu said: “Badeh died because he threatened Aisha Buhari and
Abba Kyari with what he knew about Mr. Jubril Aminu Al-Sudani.”
The IPOB leader went further to
say that during his discussion with Badeh while at Kuje prisons in Abuja, he
told the late Air chief that Nigeria cannot work but he (Badeh) insisted that
Nigeria will work.
His words: “I met Alex Badeh in
Kuje or he met me in Kuje prison and we had a brief discussion. Those that were
there know what I discussed with him.
“I told him Nigeria will never
work, but he told me no, Nigeria will work, your senior brother is my friend.
My senior brother is Air Marshal,” the IPOB leader said.
Kanu added: “Alex Badeh is dead
and nobody is investigating his death. Nobody is calling him a hero. Alex Badeh
was brave.”
