Obinwannem News How Nnamdi Kanu could have been killed, Igbo leader makes shocking revelation

• says Biafra agitators were betrayed by political leaders

A renowned Igbo leader, founder of Igbo Youth Movement (IYM) and Secretary of the Eastern Consultative Assembly (ECA), Evangelist Elliot Ugochukwu-Uko has revealed that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, was believed to have been killed, in the 2017 military operation, orchestrated by a crop of politicians and Igbo leaders.

He said the military operation (Operation Python Dance) was designed to “crush” the Biafra agitation.

However, Ugochukwu-Uko stressed that Nnamdi Kanu’s demands were never rigid.

“I vouch that Nnamdi agreed to a peaceful roadmap, I attest that he agreed with the South East Governors on 30th August 2017, that his demands were not absolute,” he said.

“I only found out later, that the politicians believed that the military assault on Afara ukwu on 14th September 2017 has finally and permanently solved the problem, and they deluded themselves, believing they have CRUSHED the agitation. They even believed that Nnamdi had been killed, until he surfaced in Israel.”

He stated that the thought to have used military might to engage the Biafra agitation backfired;adding that politicians, today, “have quadrupled their personal bodyguards and barricaded their comfort zones with concrete slabs and heavy military hardware”.

The Evangelist further disclosed he made efforts, alongside former vice president Alex Ekwueme (of the blessed memory); to have curbed the doom, which he said has befallen the country, but was breached by carrying out a military assault on Kanu’s countryhome in Afara Ukwu, on the eve of their scheduled second meeting.

The statement reads in full:
“The decision by certain persons to crush the agitation militarily, by invading Afara ukwu on the eve of the second meeting that would have ushered in peace and harmony in the land, derailed the agreement reached with Igbo leaders who spoke with Nnamdi at several strategic meetings I personally arranged and anchored.

I vouch that Nnamdi agreed to a peaceful roadmap, I attest that he agreed with the South East Governors on 30th August 2017, that his demands were not absolute. I worked extremely hard to follow through the advice of the great sage, Dr Alex Ekwueme, who consistently feared the possibility of the angry youths deciding to defend themselves and it’s attendant consequences.

Nnamdi humbly argued, reasoned, but eventually agreed with the religious, traditional and political leaders I took him to.
I did not know that the politicians preferred military assault.

I only found out later, that the politicians believed that the military assault on Afara ukwu on 14th September 2017 has finally and permanently solved the problem, and they deluded themselves, believing they have CRUSHED the agitation. They even believed that Nnamdi had been killed, until he surfaced in Israel.

Today, those same politicians have quadrupled their personal bodyguards and barricaded their comfort zones with concrete slabs and heavy military hardware.
The situation I worked hard to avert, on the advice of Dr. Alex Ekwueme, has slowly creeped in on us, and those who rejected peaceful agreement 4 years ago, are now seeing clearly.
I testify that the error of judgement of 2017 is responsible for the state of trepidation and foreboding in the land today.

The agitators have no blame. They were betrayed by the political leaders, who erroneously thought that brutal military assault would solve the problem.
History will always vindicate the just.”
