BIAFRA NEWS & UPDATEBREAKING: Nigerian Army allegedly invade Nnamdi Kanu’s home, five feared dead, several injured
allegedly invaded the home of the
leader of the Indigenous People of
Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, barely
24 hours after it announced the
start of its second phase of
Operation Python Dance II in the
South-Eastern states.
DAILY POST, however, gathered that
the military personnel, who stormed
Kanu’s home with an armoured
vehicle were resisted by some
members of the pro-Biafra group.
Some IPOB were reportedly shot in
the process.
According to the spokesman of
IPOB, Emma Powerful, about five
youths were killed and about 30
were injured.
“The Hausa Fulani soldiers and
Police Nigerian uniforms came to
kill our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu
in his compound at Afaraukwu
Umuahia and started shooting
sporadically and killed five people
and up to thirty people with bullets
wounds, after attacking our people
they went off, they came with 5
hilux vans,” he said.
Every effort made to obtain reaction
from the Nigerian Army failed as
the Deputy Director, Army Public
Relations, 82 Division, Enugu,
Colonel Sagir Musa did not pick all
the calls put across to his mobile
line.
Earlier, the Igbo National Council
(INC) gave the Chief of Army staff,
Lieutenant General Tukur Burutai,
a 21-day ultimatum to end the
recently launched ‘Operation Python
Dance II’ and withdraw his men
from the Southeast region.
“If this is not adhered to within
twenty one days (21) the Igbo
National Council, INC, will petition
and also sue the Nigeria Army and
the Federal government, to
International Criminal Court, ICC,
for genocide against the armless
people of the southeast Nigeria,” INC
said.
