Army, police attack my lawyer's house, kill three, says Nnamdi Kanu

Nnamdi Kanu Nnamdi Kanu

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu has alleged that the police and army on Monday invaded the house of his lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor in Anambra State. In a statement authored by himself and made available to our correspondent in Awka, the Anambra State, Kanu said three IPOB members were killed in the onslaught.

He called on world bodies to intervene in the intimation of IPOB members in Nigeria.

He wrote, "Confirmed reports indicate that a combined team of Nigeria police and military assassination squad invaded the home of my lawyer Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor in Oraifite Anambra State this morning Monday in a bid to kill him and his family.

"Sadly three innocent Biafrans were killed by this invading Fulani force at his residence.

"This comes on the heel of yet another killing of two IPOB family members who were peacefully gathered in Arondizuogu on Sunday, December 1. Their bodies are still in the morgue.

"Police and army must know that the time is fast approaching when British diplomatic clout and protection may not be enough to shield them from the consequences of their daily crimes against innocent Biafrans.

"Attacking the home of my lawyer is a step too far and the only effect it will have is to hasten the disintegration of Nigeria.

He added, "There is a United Nations Mission, US Embassy, British High Commission and other highbrow foreign diplomatic presence in Nigeria who should take note of these ugly developments and convey the same to their home countries. "It is their responsibility to ensure this wanton brutality, lawlessness and anarchy being engineered by the Fulani caliphate led by Abba Kyari's government against the people of Biafra is duly noted for what it is, an act of war.

"Those responsible for this deadly assault know they will pay dearly for it, they know, its only a matter of time."

Efforts to get a confirmation from the Police Public Relations Officer in the state Haruna Mohammed, on the matter could not yield any results as he did not reply to our correspondent's calls or text message in the regard.
