Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Friday recalled how his late parents suffered severe trauma after the Nigerian Army attempted to kill him at his home in Afaraukwu, Abia State.

Kanu said the trauma of the 2017 attack led to the deaths of his parents, Eze Israel Okwu Kanu and Lolo Ugoeze Sally Nmeme Okwu Kanu, five years ago.

In September 2017, soldiers under Operation Python Dance invaded Kanu’s residence in Afaraukwu, but the IPOB leader escaped and fled to Europe.

However, remembering his parents, Kanu lamented that those responsible for their deaths are still walking free.

The IPOB leader disclosed this during his routine meeting with his legal team at the Department of State Services, DSS facility in Abuja.

A statement issued by Kanu’s lead counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, read: “Rising from today’s routine visitation with Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, he instructed his legal team to issue the following statement:

“Five years ago today, I lost my precious parents (their Royal Majesties, Eze Sir Israel Okwu Kanu (JP) and Lolo Ugoeze Sally Nmeme Okwu Kanu). They suffered severe trauma from which they never recovered, while 28 other innocent souls were killed, simply because the Nigerian Army, without provocation, launched a deadly assault on our royal home with the sole intention of killing me.

“Because I survived, they quickly tagged IPOB a terrorist group to cover up their horrendous crime and mislead the gullible, a deception that persists to this day.

“The best tribute is to never forget what happened to them and all who fell in defence of freedom at our home.

“The Abuja-based murderers and their accomplices in Igboland who ordered this heinous, cold-blooded massacre of these innocent souls are still peddling their lies against my legitimate right to freely agitate for Biafra, as recognised by the laws of Nigeria.”

He who brings firewood infected with maggots in his house should not complain when lizards start visiting him

MadPolitician:
Nigeria has killed enough igbos. Millions of igbos have been killed by forces aligned to the leadership of this strange country. This has been going on for years. Millions killed directly through military aggression, and indirectly through different federal governments apartheid policies in the east. This has to stop. At a point, igbos of this generation must come together and say "enough is enough". Igbos must find a way to push back. Otherwise, the next 100 years for the igbo man will end up worse than the last 100 years. This is not acceptable..

The South West is totally responsible for most of these crimes. They are the brain behind all these scotched earth policies of the federal government in the east, and it is about time their role in the igbo genocide is explained and taught to igbos for appropriate response.
