BIAFRA : Kanu parents’ burial: IPOB attacks CP over police threat


The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has threatened to deal with the Abia State Commissioner of Police, Mr Ene Okon, if any member of the group is killed during the burial of his parents on February 14, 2020.
Kanu made the threat in a message on Facebook on Sunday.


He wrote, “If Inspector Okon and his commanders come to my father’s house to kill anyone on 14th February, 2020 at my parents’ burial, we will hunt down their children.”
 Kanu’s threat is the latest in the battle of words between the security agents and Kanu’s followers in IPOB as the burial date of the parents gets nearer.
IPOB had in a statement asked security agencies in the state to join their colleagues in the fight against insurgency in the North-East and stay away from the burial.
IPOB stated that its members must attend the burial to pay their last respects to the parents of their leader.
 But the CP had insisted that IPOB members would not be tolerated during the burial of Kanu’s parents.
 He said the police would provide security during the burial of the monarch and his wife but would not spare any IPOB member at the venue.
“We will not tolerate any Biafra flag, IPOB insignia or the group’s members disguising as Jewish or Zionist Church members during the burial,” he had said.
IPOB, in another development, described Okon as a sycophant.
It said the CP was creating unnecessary tension in the state over the burial to please his paymasters in Abuja to advance his career in the force.
Separate statements by IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, and MASSOB’s leader, Uchenna Madu, condemned the alleged statement by the CP that the police and other security agents would disrupt the burial should members of IPOB attend.
They said, “The commissioner of police is being used to create unnecessary security tension in a peaceful Abia State. The people of Afaraukwu community are peace-loving people.
 “We have made it clear that the burial of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s parents is not an IPOB or Biafra event. There will be no display or flying of Biafra flags or showcasing of any Biafra insignias. Abia State police boss should go and sleep.”

Nnamdi Kanu Sends Important Message To IPOB Members From Detention

    The detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has sent an important message to his followers over the Biafra movement. The embattled separatist according to one of his brothers, Prince Kanu Meme, has asked his disciples to trust and comply with directives from the Directorate of State (DOS). Boasting his belief in the separatist movement’s administrative structure, Kanu said “I’m DOS and DOS is me”.  Naija News understands that the DOS, headed by diaspora-based Chika Edoziem has been contending with authority issues since Kanu’s arrest in Kenya in June 2021. It has been observed that IPOB is in disintegration following Nnamdi Kanu’s rearrest and detention. The present situation of the Biafran movement can be likened to that of sheep without a shepherd. However, Kanu in a conversation with his sib...

IPOB: The Nigerian Civil War, commonly known as the Biafran War

  THE HISTORY OF BIAFRA AND NIGERIA WAR  Israel, Nigeria and the Biafra civil war    The Nigerian Civil War , commonly known as the Biafran War (6 July 1967 – 15 January 1970), was a war fought between the government of Nigeria and the secessionist state of Biafra. Biafra represented nationalist aspirations of the Igbo people, whose leadership felt they could no longer coexist with the Northern-dominated federal government. The conflict resulted from political, economic, ethnic, cultural and religious tensions which preceded Britain's formal decolonization of Nigeria from 1960 to 1963. Immediate causes of the war in 1966 included a military coup, a counter-coup and persecution of Igbo living in Northern Nigeria. Control over the lucrative oil production in the Niger Delta played a vital strategic role. Within a year, the Federal Government troops surrounded Biafra, capturing coastal oil facilities and the city of Port Harcourt. The blockade imp...
