The Movement for
the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, MEND, has alleged that the
detained leader of the Indigenous people of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu
has secretly agreed to renounce the struggle for the realization of the
Biafra.
The Niger Delta militant group declared
that Kanu had certified his desire to dissociate himself from Biafra in
order to gain freedom during an alleged negotiation process with the
Federal Government that is still ongoing.
The legal practitioners of the detained
IPOB leader, last week announced that Kanu is still dedicated to the
struggle, separating him from the agreement.
Jomo Gbomo, the spokesperson to MEND released a statement on Monday, August 15, 2016 describing Kanu as a hypocrite who denies the fact that he had made agreement with MEND.
The statement which appealed to the
detained leader to publicly denounce Biafra also mentions that MEND and
the Federal Government are not going to accept Kanu’s defiance to remain
in the Biafra struggle.
“The attention of the Movement for the
Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) has been drawn to the recent
spate of hypocritical and provocative statements issued by the
Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its leader, Nnamdi Kanu,
purported to dissociate IPOB/Kanu from some of the concessions, which
have so far been secured by MEND in the ongoing talks aimed at resolving
the current Niger Delta crisis between the Federal Government and MEND.
“MEND hereby uses this opportunity to
inform the entire world that following the group’s ongoing negotiations
with the Federal Government, Nnamdi Kanu has made it clear that he is
willing to renounce
“Biafra” in secret; in exchange for his freedom.
“Biafra” in secret; in exchange for his freedom.
“MEND and the Federal Government have,
however, flatly rejected the IPOB/Kanu hypocrisy to remain defiant in
public; while accepting to secretly renounce secession.
“MEND, therefore, urges the already
frustrated and desperate Mr. Kanu and IPOB to swallow their pride and
make a public denunciation of ‘Biafra.
The former agitators further urged
followers of the struggle to “become fully aware that the so-called
‘Biafra Republic’ is merely a business venture and scam whose sole
beneficiaries are Kanu, directors of IPOB and their families and
cronies,” the statement read.
