Obinwannem News IPOB dismisses allegation on leader's threats to Obi of Onitsha

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has countered the report being circulated that its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu “insulted and threatened the Obi of Onitsha, HRM Igwe Alfred Achebe”.

IPOB dismissed the insinuation as the handiwork of mischief makers who pitched its leaders against the revered Igbo monarch.

This was contained in a statement revealed by IPOB Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, noting, “Nnamdi Kanu holds Obi of Onitsha in high esteem” and could not have threatened him.

IPOB explained that Kanu’s response to the Onitsha security outfit recently formed by Igwe Achebe was rather twisted and misconstrued by mischief makers bent on discrediting Kanu.

The statement read in part, “The attention of the Indegienous People of Biafra, IPOB has been drawn to the activities of the mischief makers who are twisting the response of our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, to the recent statement made by revered Obi of Onitsha, HRM Igwe Alfred Achebe concerning the formation of Onitsha Ado security outfit.

“Our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu never threatened Obi Alfred Achebe and its security outfit, but only advised the revered monarch not to allow himself to be used by Abuja to fight ESN (Eastern Security Network) and IPOB.

“IPOB leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu never insulted Obi of Onitsha as being mischievously misconstrued by these dubious characters and traitors in our land. They only want to twist the fact for a piece of bread and crumbs from the caliphate.

“The fact remains that our leader, Kanu, has enormous respect for the Obi of Onitsha and holds him in high esteem.

“Our leader Mazi Kanu supports every geniue security outfit set up to protect our land and forest and secure our mothers, wives, sisters from the incessant rapes and killings by the Fulani terrorist. But, any security outfit set up to attack ESN cannot not be allowed to exist.

“All Biafrans; both home and abroad, must support ESN security outfit. We are aware that some unscrupulous individuals and groups including traitors are trying to use Onitsha Ado vigilante to create confusion in our land.

“Communities are free to form their own vigilante to protect their villages and town from Fulani terrorist attacks.

“But any vigilante group set up to undermine or sabotage IPOB and ESN will end in disgrace.

“May we reiterate that we are not against any village vigilante group, but if it works against ESN personnel it will surely end in disaster.”
