The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has warned that it would hold former Abia Governor, Sen. Orji Uzor Kalu responsible, should anything wrong happen to Nnamdi Kanu, its detained leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
The alarm raised by the group followed a visit by the Senator on Monday to Kanu who is detained at the facility of the Department of State Services. IPOB says it is not comfortable with the visit to its leader.
IPOB raised the alarm in a statement issued by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, who said that it would also hold responsible those that those who permitted Orji Uzor to visit its leader.
Below is the statement:
“We the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the command and leadership of our great leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU is raising alarm over the unsolicited visit of Orji Uzor Kalu to our leader wherever he is detained.
“We don’t know the mission of Orji Uzor Kalu over the visits and we are worried. We, therefore, wish to put the world on notice that Orji Uzor Kalu will be held responsible for whatever happens to our leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU in detention.
“We are not comfortable with Orji Uzor Kalu’s suspicious visits to our leader. We don’t know whose interest he protects. We will also hold responsible, those who permitted him to see our leader in detention.
“The DSS allowed him access against a court order which all visitors including Kanu’s lawyers comply with. We all knew that Orji Uzor Kalu’s name is among those who bankrolled and sponsored the extraordinary rendition of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from Kenya to Nigeria.”
