IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu in Israel
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has called on Biafrans to remain resolute as its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, suddenly reappeared in faraway Jerusalem on Friday.
News Express reports that since the army raid at the country home of IPOB leader in Afaraukwu, Umuahia, Abia State, during the Operation Python Dance 2, Kanu had neither been seen nor heard until yesterday.
The raid, which led to the death of some members of IPOB, created fear that Kanu might have been killed or incarcerated.
In a statement yesterday, IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Comrade Emma Powerful, said that the reappearance of their leader marks the beginning of the actualisation of Biafra’s independence.
He thanked God for Kanu’s protection and safety.
The statement reads in part: “Fellow Biafrans, friends, enemies, men, women of goodwill and good conscious across the world.
“We wish to reliably inform you that the supreme leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, prayed today, October 19, 2018, at the Wailing Wall in the Holy city of David in Jerusalem live on Facebook.”
