THE
Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has described the Federal Government’s
denial of knowing the whereabouts of its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, as a tissue
of lies
, saying the government had been trying in vain to pin IPOB leader’s
absence on Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe.
A statement
by IPOB Media and Publicity Secretary, Comrade Emma Powerful, said government’s
statement that it did not know the whereabouts of Kanu was only aimed at
diverting the attention of the international community from the situation on
ground. The statement read: “This denial of the whereabouts of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu
and trying vainly to pin it on Senator Abaribe is a well rehearsed path they
had taken so many times in the hope of repeating the same lies until the public
are forced to swallow it. “The press statement by government was timed and
choreographed to coincide with its non appearance in court to defend the black
market exparte order obtained from Justice Kafarati of Abuja Federal High
Court.
“By releasing a statement asking Senator Abaribe to produce IPOB leader
on a day the government knew perfectly well that Justice Kafarati would run
away from his own court rather than hear IPOB motion challenging his order
designating our movement a terrorist organisation, had again demonstrated its
utter contempt for the rule of law. “The Nigerian government, through its
soldiers, stormed the residence of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and the evidence of the
carnage is there for all to see, including bullet holes on the walls of his
bedroom.
“Who was the army shooting at inside Kanu’s bedroom? Who sent the army
to invade his home and how can they claim they don’t know where he is? “Could
the army have invaded a private residence without making sure that the person
they were looking for was there? These are the questions that must be put to
the Nigerian government because only it can say where it took Kanu to, or what
it did with his body.”
