According
to Vanguard, the IPOB group is quoted to have said that its leader Mr. Kanu
declared that he would rather die in jail than for the Ohanaeze Ndigbo to claim
the glory of his release as he has no business with the Igbo Socio cultural
organization.
”I will rather die in jail than for Ohanaeze Ndigbo to claim the
glory of my release, “Kanu reportedly said. IPOB in a statement signed by its
United Kingdom spokesmen, Dr Clifford Iroanya and Emma Mmezu, a lawyer said:
“We are in court and our wish is to expose the fraudulent charge of treasonable
felony before the whole world. At the end of this case, the corrupt and
compromised segment of the Nigerian judiciary will be publicly disgraced. “Our
march to freedom is unstoppable; this is something Buhari ought to know. We
have come to die for Biafra if that is what it will take to be free. Our
resolve should not be underestimated. As our leader will always say, “Nigeria
will kill us, we will kill them but in the end, we will win.”
IPOB reaction
follows an alarm raised from Enugu yesterday by some of the group’s members
that some people suspected to be Ohanaeze Ndigbo and their youth wing were
impersonating IPOB leaders in Enugu, claiming to be representing IPOB in
meeting with some American officials who were in Nigeria to have a meeting with
the group on the release of their leader. IPOB officials said such a
negotiation would need the designated presence and contribution of IPOB
members, but they were not informed.
