The Indigenous
People of Biafra, IPOB, said on Monday, August 29, 2016 riot in Kuje
prison was an orchestrated attempt to kill its leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
The group said by firing teargas
canisters into Kanu’s cell, the security men did so with the intention
to suffocate him to death.
IPOB spokesperson, Emma Powerful made this known in a statement in Enugu on Monday, August 29, 2016.
“The Federal Government and it’s secret
police, the DSS through the prison authorities and warders in charge of
Kuje Prisons have perfected arrangements to snuff life out of our
leader, Mazi Kanu and those with him in the prison by separating the
inmates who had misunderstanding with fellow inmates. There were
teargas and gunshots into Mazi Nnamdi Kanu ‘s cell for him to die
systematically,” the statement, emailed to The Trent, read.
“However, we observed that the
government and its security agents through their prison warders
orchestrated the violence in the prison in order to have excuses to
eliminate Kanu.
“The orchestrated violence to be
executed by prison warders started when the security agents shot
sporadically towards the doors and windows where our leader Mazi Kanu
and two other IPOB members were being detained.
“The prison officials went to search
some prison inmates whose cells were very far from where Kanu and two
others were kept but all of a sudden, they started shooting live bullets
towards the direction where our leader was kept. The cannon of teargas
was thrown inside the room that he stays.
“Right now, we don’t know the condition of our leader and others detained with him.
“We are calling on the international
community, the United Nations UN, the African Union AU, lovers of
freedom, Amnesty International, AI, Human Rights watch/NGO’s and
well-meaning Nigerians who understand the meaning of self-determination
to come to our rescue because right now, we don’t know the condition of
our leader.
“We in IPOB family worldwide under the
leadership of prophet Nnamdi Kanu are still intact in the pursuit of
Biafra restoration irrespective of the attacks from the FG and DSS.
“We, however, call on the agents of
darkness in our midst and in Biafraland and government to look for
another place because IPOB under Kanu is intact, no factions or crises
within us and nobody can divide this group which has the divine
mandate to liberate the people of Biafra from the shackles of slavery
and bondage.
“Nevertheless, all the members of IPOB
are advised to be resolute, watchful and mindful of whom they allow
into their midst. We congratulate the international community, all
rights organizations/NGOs, Christian community and well-meaning
Nigerians who deemed it so wise to advise Nigerian government to release
Nnamdi Kanu and other members of IPOB and pro Biafra agitators
detained in different prisons and security cells across the country.”
