Family of the leader of the Indigenous People
of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has asked the
Federal Government to release the corpse of
their son for burial.
The family said it believed that Kanu was killed
by the Nigerian military, in an attempt to quell
the agitation for Biafra.
The family spokesman, Emma Kanu, told Wapsim247 that the federal government should release
Nnamdi’s corpse to them so as to give him a
befitting burial.
Emma said ever since the IPOB leader
disappeared last year, when his home was
raided by the military, the family had always
feared for his life.
“Now that it has been reported that he is dead,
the federal government should, without
hesitation release his corpse to his family, so
that we and the entire Igbo nation can give him
the befitting burial he deserves because he is a
true Igbo son,” he said.
The younger Kanu said even if the IPOB leader
was out of Biafra struggle, it would not vitiate
the resolve of IPOB and indeed the whole of
Igbo to actualise Biafra.
On the call by Gen T.Y Danjuma for Nigerians
to protect themselves since those saddled with
the responsibility had failed them, Kanu said
although the call was belated, however, it was
a clarion call which IPOB would not take
lightly.
“The call by Danjuma for people in the country
to defend themselves means that the elder
statesman has just started seeing what the
IPOB leader, Kanu saw years back.
“All the same, it is a clarion call which IPOB
will adhere to, no matter the circumstance,” he
stated.
