Nigeria intelligence community have linked the assassination
of former political adviser to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Ahmed Gulak, to
the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
The proscribed secessionist group, led by Nnamdi Kanu, now
has a militant wing, Eastern Security Network (ESN).
Security agencies have repeatedly linked the ESN to the
killing of security personnel and destruction of government facilities in
South-East and South-South States.
After Gulak’s murder, an intelligence officer told PRNigeria
that IPOB has been indicted.
The officer disclosed they intercepted communication and saw
videos where Kanu threatened anyone who fails to observe his sit-at-home order
from May 29 to May 31 will die.
“Why should Nigeria and the media continue to dignify IPOB
by claiming that its continuous atrocities against the security services and
Nigerians are executed by unknown gunmen when we have arrested their members
confessing their involvements?” the officer said.
Kanu, in a recent broadcast, declared the sit-at-home will
commence 6p.m. on Saturday till 6p.m. on Monday.
The IPOB leader warned that the order is compulsory and must
be obeyed South-East people.
“From 6p.m. on the 29th, there will be no movement, this is
not sit-at-home but no movement. If you are found outside from 6p.m. you are
dead”, he said.
Gulak, an All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, was
killed in Owerri, Imo State capital on Saturday night.
A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Adamawa
and personal friend of Gulak, Dr. Umar Arɗo, confirmed the incident on Sunday.
