A South-East
based group, the World Igbo Youth Congress, WIYC, on Thursday, asked Abia State
Governor and Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe to produce the leader of
the Indigenous
People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
The group
spoke in apparent reply to Governor Ikpeazu, who had told State House
correspondents, after meeting with Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, at the
Presidential Villa in Abuja, that it was not his duty to locate Kanu.
The WIYC in
statement made available to Journalists , signed by its Deputy National
President, Dr. Fidelis Ugwu insisted that the duo of Ikpeazu and Senator Abarbe
had answers to Kanu’s whereabouts. “We still thrilled to the continuous denial
by the Governor of Abia State and Senator Abaribe that they have no no
knowledge about Kanu’s whereabouts. “We must say that such assertion is a far
cry from the truth as they not only only know Kanu’s location but aided his
escape from Umuahia.
“Even though we are against the invasion of Nnamdi Kanu’s
home by the Nigerian Army, it does not change the truth, which is that the
Governor and Abaribe knows where Kanu is at the moment. “The information
available to us showed that the duo provided the logistics through which Kanu
escaped. So, they should be made to face the music. “We are mindful of the fact
that the Governor has immunity but the Senator should be arrested without further
delay to produce Kanu. “This is the most finest hour and as a result, all those
involved should face the consequences and the challenges of self-determination.
As a true Igbo Senator, Abaribe should stand in for Kanu in the trial as one
his surety. If Kanu is their shoes, he will not shy away”, the group concluded.
Governor Ikpeazu had stated that “Those who are looking for him may have a
better knowledge and have the capacity to determine the location of anyone in
Nigeria. “There are people who are trained to track people and it is their
responsibility, not mine.”
