Anambra Guber: Nnamdi Kanu Placed ‘Under Police Surveillance’

Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has been placed under police surveillance ahead of the upcoming gubernatorial election in Anambra State.

This may not be unconnected with threats by Kanu that the November 18 governorship election in the state would not hold unless the Federal Government conducts a Biafra referendum.

Although the police is yet to confirm this, but PUNCH reports that the IPOB leader has been placed under surveillance by the law enforcement agency to prevent him from fleeing re-arrest should his bail be revoked in court.

The police public relations officer (PRO), Jimoh Moshood, however stated that the force had deployed more of its men to the south-east and south-south regions ahead of the poll.

“We have made additional deployments, particularly in Anambra state, because of the upcoming governorship election and also to other south-east and south-south states to ensure that IPOB did not actualise its threat of stopping the election.

“So also, any pronouncement from the court would be strictly enforced, irrespective of the persons involved. Nobody is above the law, so any court pronouncement would be enforced by the police.”

“We are not leaving anything to chance; we are to ensure there is law and order and any pronouncement from the court would be strictly enforced. We are watching the situation closely. We have made enough deployments and we are going to act appropriately,” he said.
