The leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra
(IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, on Friday, took to his verified Facebook wall to raise
alarm over an ongoing arrest and kidnapping of mourners, along
Enugu-Igweocha(Port-Harcourt) by the Nigerian Army.
He claimed that the arrested mourners were being taken to
unknown places by the Nigeria Army.
Kanu said the mourners were on their way to attend his
parents’ burial holding today at Afaraukwu Umuahia Ibeku in Abia state.
The late Eze Israel Kanu and wife, Sally are the parent of
the IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu and would be committed to mother Earth today,
Friday, 14, February, 2020.
Recall that Nnamdi Kanu had blamed President Muhammadu
Buhari-led federal government of being responsible for his parents death, which
he attributed to the alleged invasion of his Afaraukwu Ibeku residence by men
of Nigeria Army.
According to the IPOB leader on his Facebook page, with
picture attached, “As the provocation, harassment, intimidation, kidnapping and
arrest of mourners continue unabated along Enugu-Igweocha (Port Harcourt)
Expressway, there are confirmed reports that 3 coaster buses conveying mourners
to Afaraukwu were hijacked by Nigerian soldiers at Ubakala Junction. We hope
the world can see what these vandals in uniform are doing and duly taking note
for future reference.
“Facebook Nigeria, it appears are working hand in hand with
the murderous Nigerian army and police, that failed woefully in the fight
against Boko Haram in the north, by preventing real-time dissemination of live
video coverage of events on their platform, thereby aiding and abetting human
rights abuses in Biafraland”.
The pro-Biafra leader also disclosed names of
persons(Mourners) allegedly kidnapped by the Army, as Ifechukwu Okoye, Emmanuel
Osita, Ugochukwu Akachukwu, Ebube Okpara, Edwin Orji.
He, however, called for their immediate release to enable
them to proceed to the burial ceremony.
