IPOB Decries ‘Criminal Silence’ Of S’East Leaders On Nnamdi Kanu

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), weekend, stated that the silence of Southeast and Southsouth governors over the arrest and detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu raises suspicion that they have a hand in the ordeals which the IPOB leader is undergoing.

This was contained in a statement issued by IPOB’s spokesperson, Emma Powerful.

IPOB further stated that the governors of the regions ought to have emulated the likes of Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, who they alleged tacitly support bandits in the North.

The statement reads, “We the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), ably led by Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, find it loathsome and distasteful, the complacent attitude of Southeast and Southsouth governors and religious leaders over the fate of our leader following his abduction and extra-ordinary rendition from Kenya to Nigeria.

“It’s baffling that since June 19 that Kanu was abducted in Kenya and brought back to Nigeria in clear violation of international laws, the Southeast and Southsouth governors and religious leaders are yet to openly condemn the act or take any action to register their displeasure with the impunity of the federal government of Nigeria.

“This criminal silence strongly confirms our earlier understanding and fears that these hypocritical leaders and traitors may be part of our leader’s ordeals. While leaders from other zones are courageously speaking up for their own, governors and religious leaders from Southeast and Southsouth have kept mute for reasons best known to them.

“Sheikh Ahmad Gumi and Fulani governors in the North have never hidden their support for bandits’ killer herdsmen who they have consistently advocated amnesty for, but religious leaders from Biafraland are sore afraid to talk of the release of Nnamdi Kanu who committed no crimes, but asked for the freedom of his people, including these leaders and their families.

“We are watching and keeping records. When the chips are down we will know who is who.”
