President Buhari behind insecurity in South-East - Nnamdi Kanu alleges

Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has accused President Muhammadu Buhari and his administration of being behind the insecurity ravaging the southeastern part of the country.

He claims President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government sponsors the legions causing havoc in the region, adding that creating insecurity will cause the military to invade and kill more people in the southeast.

Speaking on Thursday, April 22, 2021, through the spokesman of IPOB, Emma Powerful, Kanu asks the federal government to focus more on crushing bandits and terrorists in the country.

A statement by Powerful reads partly: “Nothing can change our resolve to free Biafra from the Nigeria bondage. No amount of propaganda by the Government can make us change our mind. In case the Presidency don’t know, BIAFRA is more imminent than they think. The night is far spent, and the new dawn is almost here with the Rising Sun of our great nation at the threshold!

“The threat by the Presidency to order military operation to crush the animals disturbing the peace in South East, has simply confirmed our alarm all the while that the federal government is the one sponsoring the escalating insecurity in the zone to provide an excuse for another military operation to kill more innocent Biafrans. It’s only unfortunate that the political elite for their selfish interests have failed to realise this.

“But we ask the Presidency to first crush the bandits and terrorists overrunning the entire North and middle Belt before embarking on any military operation in the South East, otherwise they may have to prepare very well.”
