A Kenyan journalist, Dr David Matsanga, has reacted to
reports of his involvement in the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the
Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, had disclosed that
its leader, Nnamdi Kanu was arrested in Kenya.
There were speculations that a Kenya media and authorities
hands in the arrest of the IPOB leader.
IPOB alleged that the Kenyan Government and President Uhuru
Kenyetta betrayed Kanu in order to get the N100 million bounty placed on him
(Kanu) by a Coalition of Northern groups earlier in the month.
However, a renowned Kenyan Journalist and founder of
Punchline Africa TV has denied luring Nnamdi Kanu to Kenya in order to be
abducted.
In a video posted by Reno Omokri on his Instagram page, Dr
Matsanga denied any involvement in the arrest of Kanu even as he urged the
government to be fair to the IPOB leader.
The Kenyan journalist disclosed that the last time he spoke
with Kanu was on the 21st of May, 2021 when he was interviewed on his TV
station.
He said: “My attention has been drawn to the propaganda
circulating on social media, originating from Nigeria talking about abduction
by Nigerian security agencies with international agencies of Nnamdi Kanu.
“As a result of the propaganda by the Buhari regime that he
was taken from Kenya, Nnamdi Kanu was interviewed on 21st of May on my network
and that was the last time I spoke to him.
“We did not approach Kanu for the interview, he did through
his representative in Australia in May, asking for the IPOB leader to be
interviewed on our television station. My TV does not harbour conspiracy theory
but speaks the truth regarding the suffering of the people of Biafra. We took
interest in Biafra and southeastern issues because of the millions of videos
sent to us.
“I ask God to take me if Kanu says he ever spoke to me since
21st May, I want to make it clear that the abduction of Kanu will not deter my
TV from speaking on the poor and ill-treatment of the people of Biafra
“I am not a Nigerian or paid by Biafra, I’m a highly
investigative journalist and don’t engage myself in activities of Buhari
government. We are waiting to hear about how he was arrested just as everyone
is and we have no hand in his arrest.
“We wish the Nigerian government gives Nnamdi Kanu a fair
trial and does not trample over his right or harm him.
“We wish the government does not stop him from disclosing
how he was abducted.”
