The lawyer representing the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, says he has not communicated with his client since September 14, when Mr. Kanu’s Abia State home was “invaded” by soldiers.

The lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, was reacting to reports that Mr. Kanu had gone into hiding.

In a statement Tuesday, Mr. Ejiofor claimed his client was abducted by military operatives on September 14. He said “Mr. Kanu has probably been killed”.

Mr. Kanu was last seen in public on September 10, after his supporters clashed with soldiers. Mr. Ejiofor said some IPOB supporters were killed during the clash.

However, a letter purportedly signed by Mr. Kanu, quoted the IPOB leader as saying he would not be attending an earlier scheduled meeting with South East governors last Friday.

“In view of the concerted effort by the oppressive Nigerian state to shatter the peace and tranquility of the South-East and the rest of Biafraland through military intimidation, it has become necessary for me to clarify why, regrettably, I may not be able to attend Friday’s meeting with the South-East governors as earlier agreed, for three main reasons,” , the letter, published by Punch newspaper, said.

Mr. Ejiofor said he could not confirm the authenticity of the letter as he had not been in contact with his client since September 14.

Mr. Ejiofor said Mr. Kanu was abducted, and claimed that reports that his client had gone into hiding were merely aimed at “diverting the attention of the public”.

“I have no doubt whatsoever that stories making round that my Client has fled outside Nigeria, were planted to divert attention from their murderous raid on my client’s house. I made last contact with my client few minutes into the bloody onslaught in his home on the 14th day of September 2017. Till date, I have not established further communication with him.

“The soldiers must have made possible contact with him on this 14th day of September 2017, when they invaded his house on a bloody raid, and by virtue of which position, they should tell the world if he was caught by fire of bullets in the hit of the bloody onslaught or he was arrested alive.

“In all probability, my client may have been killed by the invading soldiers who are now seeking ways to fool the world into believing that he has left the country. My request is that the military should produce my client wherever they kept him and stop diverting attention of the public,” Mr. Ejiofor said.

Army spokesperson, Sani Usman, could not be immediately reached. He neither pick nor return calls Tuesday. He also did not return text messages.

he don go meet the coward ojukwu

One of the best things to happen so far is the extermination of that nauseating rodent KANU

Nnamdi Kanu is not dead but in hiding. Ps ask senator Abaribe and LZAA concerning his whereabouts

They killed him because he have no metal weapons, let them kill bokoharam and herdsmen then i will know they are real army and not cowards.

You do have to wonder at the devilish mien of some people!

They're actually happy that Buhari sent his fulani soldiers to go and abduct and possibly murder Mazi Kanu and his parents! I hope all can begin to appreciate why many of us Igbo are not comfortable sharing the same country with these so called humans?

It doesn't bother them that Buhari couldn't resort to available avenues via the rule of law and the constitution to deal with the 'IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu problem', but instead saw extra-judicial means as the only way!

In a way, i blame Mazi Kanu for underestimating just how evil and medieval-minded the people he was up against are! These scum would resort to anything, even spilling blood, to protect their ATM that is 'one Nigeria'!

All will be well, the evil must end one day and the biafra will go.

LZAA:
