Men of the Nigerian Army on Sunday raided the home of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

This would be the second time the military is raiding Kanu’s home located in Afara, Umuahia, Abia State. The home was first raided in September.

Brother to the IPOB leader, Prince Emmanuel Kanu, who confirmed the raid, said the soldiers were searching for what they termed “technical items”.

According to him, the military men took with them household items like television sets, generating sets, clothes, among other belongings of the royal family.

Prince Kanu called on the international community to urge the army to stop raiding his father’s home and to also account for the whereabouts of the IPOB leader.

Also confirming the raid, desk officer of Operation Python Dance in charge of Abia State, said it was a joint operation with other security agencies.

He however denied, the operatives carted away household items, saying “the things removed may be technical items, somebody was arrested with weapon in the compound”.

The desk officer said the operation was based on intelligence report received by security agencies.

The whereabouts of Nnamdi Kanu is still unknown after the Nigerian Army raided his home in September.
