The spokesman of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Emma Powerful, has issued a warning to the Federal Government over its failure to produce the leader of the group, Nnamdi Kanu.
Soldiers had invaded the home of the group’s leader in Abia state late last year, after which Kanu and his parents were declared missing.
The group has accused the Federal Government of having but withholding information about Nnamdi Kanu’s whereabouts.
Powerful said that FG was playing with fire by keeping Kanu away from his people, adding that the group would soon embark on massive protests to force the government to release information about him.
“Nigerian government is beginning to discover that our leader is not an ordinary person that can be abducted without consequences. We are waiting to exhaust all peaceful options before we mount a concerted direct action to free our leader. The only thing that might lead to a violent disintegration of Nigeria is the fate of our leader.
“Our multiple demonstrations in Jerusalem and London calling on civilised nations of the world to prevail upon this Buhari led APC regime to release our leader is resonating within diplomatic circles. We have also formally notified the United Nations mission in Switzerland through the offices of our solicitors in London, that our leader is missing. At this point in time the United Nations is officially aware of the plight of our leader and they have promised to do something about it as a matter of urgency.
“We are leaving no stone unturned to ensure our leader is returned to us alive and well in the shortest possible time. Nigeria is playing with fire and it will consume it if care is not taken. IPOB is not like anything Africa has ever seen. We are unrelenting and indefatigable. At the end of this tortuous process the army will produce our leader and Biafra will be restored,” The Sun quoted Powerful as saying.
