Kanunta Kanu, younger brother of the detained Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafran, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has blamed South East governors and political leaders for missing a golden opportunity that would have made Nigeria to be begging the zone to produce the President in 2023.

According to him if Leaders from the zone had not worked against his brother and the agitation for Biafra, the Federal Government would have been begging them now to take the presidency and remain in Nigeria.

Kanunta who spoke at Ikengaonline virtual town hall meeting, said that if the political elite from the zone had identified with the agitation for Biafra, the Nigeria Authorities would have taken them more seriously and be calling them for negotiation.

He regretted that despite working against the interest of Ndigbo in their desperation to please the federal powers, Igbo political elite have also been ‘used and dumped’ by the federal powers.
Kanunta also expressed disappointment at the unwillingness of South East political elite to comment on the existential security threat posed by the menacing activities of herdsmen in South East.

He further maintained that Biafran actualisation would become easier if the political elite indentified with the cause.

” Our political leaders are not even strategic enough. Nigeria would have called them to negotiate and even offer them the Presidency on a platter of gold if they had identified with the Biafra liberation movement”.

He regretted that instead of boldly championing the cause of the zone South East Governors and political elite have rather chosen to maintain sealed lips for political correctness.

He said that his brother “is being persecuted today not because he commited any crime” but because of his passion to secure freedom for the oppressed people of South-East, yet the Leaders in the zone have abandoned him to his fate”.

Kanunta accused the South East leaders of insensitivity and nonchalance about the future of the zone.

“My brother was renditioned from Kenya to Nigeria and has been in detention for over one year now. And our leaders are finding it difficult to talk about him or Biafra.

” Why is it that the South East Governors and Leaders are also not talking about the killings and Kidnappings by Fulani herdsmen in our zone? The bandits imported insecurity in our land but our Leaders have refused to talk about all these, rather everybody is after 2023 election.

” Who will vote for them in 2023 if they kill all the people? My brother is where he is today, suffering for speaking the truth. He is there because he is condemning the exclusion and suppression of our people.

” Bandits have been imported into our land ; over 3000 of them in Imo State. They are the ones killing our people and Kidnapping them like fowls but nobody is taking about it.

A self-confessed leader of the confraternity, otherwise called Aiye, Saheed Taiwo, has given a chilling account of the cruel fate rival cultists suffered in his group’s hand, any time there was a clash in Ogun State.
Unlike other cult groups, 27-year-old Taiwo said his group did not only kill rivals but they also cut off their hands and used them to prepare protection charms. The severed hands according to him, were also used to prepare concoction for his members against arrest by the Police.
But the potency of the charm became questionable as he was arrested alongside two other hit men in his confraternity, by operatives of the Inspector General of Police Intelligence Response Team ,IRT ,headed by DCP Olatuniji Disu ,in the Abeokuta area of Ogun State.

Those arrested with Taiwo were : Isaiah Babatunde and Oyede Sulaimon. They were alleged to have killed members of rival cult groups within Ita Oshin and neighboring communities in Ogun. Crime Guard gathered that during the operation that led to the arrest of the trio, another notorious member of the group identified simply as Ben, disappeared with one of the gang’s AK 47 rifles.

Taiwo , confessed to have joined the Aiye cult group in 2018, as a senior Secondary School 1 student, of Anglican High School, Ibara, Abeokuta. He however dropped out of school in 2019. Between the period he joined and when he was arrested, he said he had lost count of the number of rival cult members his group had killed.

According to him: “As an individual, I cannot tell you I have killed anyone. This is because we usually operate as a group. We have killed many people. I have lost count of the number. Anytime we were going for an operation, our leader would instruct us to ensure we kill as many as we could.

“We don’t just kill. We cut off their hands. The severed hands were taken to a set of twins in the Ago Oka area of Isale Ogun, in Abeokuta. I met the tradition of delivering severed hands to the twins . They are used for rituals, especially to prepare concoction that would protect us from being killed by rituals and being arrested by the Police.”

Asked why the charm did not work for him and his colleagues, he cast a blank stare apparently wondering why, too.
He mentioned names of rival cult members his group had killed and the circumstances under which the operation was carried out.Taiwo said: “Members of my group are responsible for several killings in Ogun State. A particular case was the killing of a leader of a rival cult group in the Ita Oluwo area of Abeokuta ,some months ago . He was called Tommy. But I was not among those that went for the operation. Ben ,Dare, Killer ,Idris and Aloma did and they went with a Pump Action Rifle.

“They went on motorbikes . They said they first matcheted Tommy before shooting him, to ensure he was dead. He was one of the leaders of the Eiye group. All the cult killings were reprisal attacks.

“There was another reprisal attack on the Eiye group. Eiye cult group killed a member of our group during the clash and our leaders, Dare and others, mandated us to go and see what was happening there .When we got there ,we identified one of them . Later we traced the identified Eiye member ,who was one of those who killed our , to Lafenwa and killed him.

“We also cut off one of his hands with our axe. We don’t call it axe in our group. We call it ‘ seven’ We took the hands to the twins for the usual thing.” Continuing, Taiwo stated that “We have assorted arms and ammunitions .There is hardly any arm you cannot find with our group be they single or double barrel guns, or AK 47 and many more.

“I was using a double barrel gun for operation. One of us , Rasqie , escaped with it on the day we were arrested.”

The Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Muyiwa Adejobi , assured that other fleeing members of the cult groups would be arrested and prosecuted, adding that Taiwo and his colleagues would be charged to court.

Well I still don't buy it. Maybe Brock pitied reigns and wants to help his fledging career. Brick that has lifted a wee ring with a tractor ....

See when you talk of top 10 strongest in WWE

In the top 10 you will find the likes of the rock , Cena , Brock, McHenry, Kain, Finn , the Viper , reigns can't make that list at all

Watch out for Roman in next decade

Realtalk20:


Bro you know nothing I mean absolutely nothing about wrestling..

Brock that went to UFC and dominated ? Are you sure you are now clowning me now ?

Reigns is a Piper boy compared to Brock.

Besides someone above just confirmed that reigns brothers helped him!!

See pound for pound there is no comparison between reigns and Brock.

Bricks mates are the Rock , stone cold, the viper , goldust , Goldberg etc

Now reigns ....who on earth is reigns ?

He was helped trully, talking about mates, Brock made his first wwe debut 2002 , Roman made his 2012. The comparison isn't worth arguing. I want you to understand that ,Roman is also strong for Brock as well. Na bull to bull match

Realtalk20:

How on earth can you compare reigns to Brock? You must be new to WWE

I'm not ranting about WWE bro, when it comes to man-to-man match, Romans is way stronger. Brock is just being aggressive, when you absorb his aggression, he's nothing.

Realtalk20:

Roman Reigns defeated Brock Lesnar in a Last Man Standing match at SummerSlam on Saturday night to retain the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.

The match began with Lesnar riding a tractor to the ring, kept going after he used it to raise one end of the ring off the ground with the vehicle and saw Theory try (and fail) to cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase.

The contest culminated with Reigns, who received assistance from The Usos, hitting The Beast Incarnate in the head with multiple belt shots and finally burying him under a mountain of tables, ring steps, chairs, monitors and other debris as the referee counted to 10.

The two men took the fight to each other in a highly physical affair, but in the end, the result was the same as WrestleMania, with The Tribal Chief prevailing.

At the conclusion of the bout, it was confirmed that Reigns will move on to defend his title against Drew McIntyre at Clash of the Castle in Cardiff, Wales on Sept. 3.

The unknown number of soldiers were said to have been killed on Thursday night by Boko Haram terrorists stormed an Army checkpoint around Zuma Rock, the border between FCT and Niger State.

Sources said the terrorists arrived Zuma Rock on the axis of Madalla and Suleija along the Abuja-Kaduna highway, at about 8.30p.m., and took the soldiers by surprise, opening fire from different angles.

“They were shooting continuously at the checkpoint for more almost one hour, and soldiers at the checkpoint were fighting back. But after a while, the shooting stopped,” a source said.

The sources said the terrorists later abandoned their mission of moving into Abuja and retreated towards Kaduna axis.

While retreating, the bandits who were said to be in several motorbikes, reportedly attacked some villages and shops in Madalla and carried foodstuff on their motorbikes before bolting.

Following the retreat of the terrorists, more troops and equipment from the Army base in Zuma Barracks were deployed for reinforcement to the scene.

Another source said a joint security operatives team were going on patrol around the axis when sounds of gunshot erupted and they moved towards the scene only to discover that it was an ongoing battle between soldiers and bandits.

The source said the security operatives immediately radioed the Army Barracks at Zuma Rock, resulting in the deployment of reinforcement to the scene.

The fighting reportedly caused severe traffic jam, as motorists remained trapped on the Abuja-Kaduna Highway.

The attack comes barely six days after terrorists carried out an ambushed a patrol team of presidential guards team along the Bwari-Kubwa Road resulting in the death of six soldiers and officers following intelligence report that they were planning to attack the Nigerian Law School in Bwari.

The attack and other kidnapping incidents have resulted in heightened tension in the FCT, with schools closed.

The management of Federal Government College, Kwali, asked parents to evacuate their children from the school as a result of an attack by bandits in a neighbouring community 24 hours earlier.

Don't take a life for wealth and call it grace.
