The Spiritual Director, Adoration Ministry Enugu, Rev. Fr.
Ejike Mbaka, has warned that there will be more trouble if the leader of the
proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, dies in custody of
the Department of State Services (DSS).
Mbaka made this known while calling on the congregation to
pray for the release of the secessionist on Sunday.
The cleric, who commended IPOB for calling off its Monday
sit-at-home exercise, said the danger of the order was becoming a problem
instead of a solution.
Recall that IPOB had ordered the arrest of anyone found
enforcing the already-suspended Monday sit-at-home order in the South-East.
The Media and Publicity Secretary of the group, Emma
Powerful, said the group has long suspended the order and wondered why some
people would continue to enforce an order that has already been cancelled by
IPOB.
The cleric further stated that he was pleased that the
intervention of stakeholders has yielded results with the cancelation of the
lockdown of the entire region.
Commending IPOB, Mbaka said, ”The leader of the Indigenous
People of Biafra, the hero, Nnamdi Kanu, is expressing his empathy with the
people of the Southeast over what they are passing through. He came to know
that Igbos are suffering because of him. And he would not wish that suffering
to continue. Therefore, nobody should stop anybody from going to his or her
business any Monday.
“All of us should keep praying for his (Kanu) release, and
work towards his freedom because if he dies inside that place, it will cause
more trouble. If he comes out, he will come out as a hero.
”We don’t want him to die, because it is not Nnamdi Kanu’s
issue, it is the issue that concerns the people that are suffering. Nnamdi is
not asking the government to do anything for him; he is speaking for the Igbo
people.
“And we that are affected and he is speaking on their behalf
should do everything possible to see that it is well with him.
“Many were saying they saw me at Abuja some days ago, yes.
My own is if I am with you, I am with you. I will not sit here to tell you why
I am in Abuja but whatever will make my people to be emancipated I will do it.
There are people working to see that Nnmadi Kanu is released and it’s not by
sitting. at home that he will be released.
”Canceling sit-at-home does not mean that it is over, the
poor masses are suffering. Most of the rich people don’t have business over
here, we are punishing our self. We thank the leader of IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, may
God bless him.”
