Nnamdi Kanu’s Family Reacts to Weapons Allegedly Found on the Premises

The family of the Indigenous People of Biafra’s leader, Nnamdi Kanu, have hit out against statements by the CP of Abia state that weapons were found on the premises.

Recall that the CP,  Anthony Michael Ogbizi, had said that lethal weapons including petrol bombs and one double-barrel gun were recovered during a raid of the premises.

But the Kanus have denied this. According to the Nation, the family spokesman, Prince Emmanuel Kanu, said that nothing was found and that if there was anything found then it was planted by the police themselves.

He said; “This new CP was the same man who came to our house two days after the September 14 invasion with two Hilux vans and his Prado SUV and pulled down the car porch and destroyed the vehicles parked outside.

“This same CP hurriedly after the invasion on the October 8, issued a press release telling the whole world that they discovered bombs in my house. The army on the other hand, denied that there was no invasion and that they never went to my house, what a contradiction.

“A house that there has not been any person inside except our guard who we asked to look after the house, all of a sudden they invaded the house and came back to say they found a den gun, double barrel gun and petrol bomb. Who manufactured them? Who kept them there? That is the question to ask.”

He also accused the CP of removing the CCTV placed in the house and that he wants the international community to prevail.

“The policemen came to our house and ransacked the entire compound including my mum and my father’s rooms, removing my mum’s boxes, our TV and generator sets, bags of rice and many personal belongings without knowing that we had a CCTV recording their activities in the house. But when they got clue about the CCTV and in order to concoct whatever that they would present to the public to label our family bad, they came back and removed the CCTV from where they were hung.

“I am telling the international community to prevail on this people. What the Police and other security agencies are doing in my house, my community, in my state and the entire Biafran Land is evil. It is clear that out of desperation, they are trying to cover their tracks and they have failed.”
