| How Nnamdi Kanu Was Convicted On Engineered Insecurity by truthera(op): 7:22am On Jan 16 |
The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has declared that the conviction of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, was based on what it described as ‘engineered insecurity’. IPOB made the assertion in a statement by its spokesman, Emma Powerful, on Wednesday. The pro-Biafra group noted that Kanu could not have been responsible for the insecurity in the South-East while he was held in solitary confinement, with no access to phone or the outside world. IPOB blamed individuals it described as ‘desperate political’ actors for the violence that rocked the South-East after Kanu’s extraordinary rendition from Kenya, where he was arrested in 2021. According to the statement, the insecurity was engineered to frame Kanu and IPOB as terrorists, to pave way for his eventual conviction. Parts of the statement, titled ‘Engineered insecurity and judicial absurdity: How a man in solitary confinement was blamed for crimes he could not have committed’, read, “The noble family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) draws the attention of Nigerians and the international community to a dangerous lie that has been carefully constructed to justify the continued detention and conviction of our leader. "Immediately after the extraordinary rendition of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in June 2021, desperate political actors—many of whom have long envied his influence—unleashed violence and chaos across the South-East. Their aim was simple and wicked: create insecurity and blame it on Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, so they could later claim they were right to abduct, detain, and jail him. “These are the same people who rushed to proscribe IPOB, after Ekwulobia and Aba mega rallies in mid-2017 where millions trooped out just to catch a glimpse of our leader, even though the Abuja Federal High Court had earlier in March 2017 ruled that IPOB is not a terrorist organisation. In plain terms, a group declared lawful by a court was later branded “terrorist” through ex-parte for political convenience. “These are the same people that killed IPOB members that organised and attended President Trump Solidarity Rally in Igweocha (Port Harcourt) on 20 January 2017. Again, Biafrans killed without justification. "It is painful to note that yet again, the same forces behind the manufactured insecurity are the same ones who unleashed Operation Python Dance, a military operation that targeted Mazi Nnamdi Kanu for assassination and led to the killing of unarmed civilians across the South-East with 28 murdered in his country home.” IPOB said it was shocking that the trial judge in Nnamdi Kanu’s trial blamed him for insecurity in the South-East without any evidence. The statement added, “Most shocking of all is what followed in court. In his judgment, Omotosho repeatedly cited insecurity in the South-East from 2022 onwards and blamed it on Mazi Nnamdi Kanu—despite the fact that Mazi Kanu had already been abducted, rendered to Nigeria, and locked in underground solitary confinement. "Let Nigerians and the world pause and think. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was held incommunicado in the custody of the (DSS) in Abuja. He had no phone, no visitors, no access to the outside world. Yet he was blamed for events said to have happened in the South-East, outside prison walls. “This is not justice. It is judicial nonsense. Let us state the absurdity clearly: A man in total state custody was convicted for crimes allegedly committed while he was in chains. In any sane country, such reasoning by a supposed learned judge would attract instant condemnation from fellow judges and the legal fraternity. But in Nigeria, the plot was so well executed that many people stopped asking basic questions.” IPOB insisted that there is no evidence to tie Kanu to the violence and killings blamed on him. “Nobody has asked: Who did Mazi Nnamdi Kanu kill? Who came to court to say Kanu killed their brother, sister, or parent? Where is the evidence—bodies, witnesses, forensic proof? There is none. Absolutely none. “Those who planned this deception did a thorough job. They confused the public, silenced questions, and drowned the truth in propaganda. But no lie lasts forever. “If these Igbo politicians and their external sponsors had been honest enough to admit that the insecurity story was deliberately created just to jail Kanu, our leader would have willingly sacrificed himself if it would have saved the innocent Biafrans who were killed simply to build a case against him. Their blood cries out,” the group added. IPOB called on the international community, foreign governments and parliaments, human rights organisations, lawyers and judges of conscience, “to look beyond propaganda and confront the truth: this conviction is built on manufactured insecurity, no evidence, and the criminalisation of political dissent”. “History will remember those who spoke the truth—and those who used chaos to silence a man,” IPOB declared. https://dailypost.ng/2026/01/14/no-access-to-phone-outside-world-nnamdi-kanu-convicted-on-engineered-insecurity-ipob/ |

So, according to this fascinating masterpiece of logic, the gunshots that killed soldiers, police officers, and other security personnel were fired by… fellow security officers, apparently engaging in a national suicide pact with bullets. The police stations, security vehicles, and even military formations that were torched? Ah yes, self-inflicted arson. The same security agencies woke up one morning and decided to burn down their own workplaces for exercise and excitement. And after this impressive display of professional self-sabotage, those very same security agencies allegedly took to the streets chanting, “We don’t want police and soldiers in our Biafra.” Please, by all means, continue this performance, but kindly reserve it for your fellow club members. The rest of us are struggling to keep a straight face while you wrestle with reality. |

truthera:You call your country a Zoo. Necessary implication is that you are an animal. Traps are set for animals. Nnamdi Kanu has been caught in a trap. He is there as we speak howling at the Prison Walls! |

truthera:Why is this mish-mash of false propaganda in the politics section? This epistle of falsehood should be in the jokes section where it belongs. The propensity to eternally play the victim is unrivalled in this country. The propensity to call colour white black is unrivalled in this country. Nnamdi kanu committed crimes against humanity,in particular his own people. He is receiving his just punishment. In fact he is extremely lucky that the erudite judge was lenient and did not impose the maximum penalty of death. |

The world knows it was government sponsored Insecurity they just used to jail Kanu. Even governor of Imo State said it,it wasn't Ipob, but it was sponsored by wicked politicians. That's why US and civilized Countries refused their terrorist tag on ipob. Infact ipob and Nigeria government are currently battling it in US. God bless Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, you will be free and accomplish your mission. |

Richtaiwo:Go read what false flag operation means. You can also goggle for example of false flag operations that have happened in the world. Read through and understand what happened in East. Ask yourself why the killing stopped immediately they have enough evidence to use against Kanu and was about to jail him. Or have Ipob and ESN suddenly disappeared? |

chiagozien:Truthera didn’t want to waste time reading that long epistle that u posted, just like I have told u in the past, the only way your oga was going to go scot free was if he could prove that it was not him that was the person speaking on those videos on YouTube. |
| Re: How Nnamdi Kanu Was Convicted On Engineered Insecurity by chiagozien(m): 10:19am On Jan 16 |
Goosethetruth:His people you claim he committed those crimes love him and said he is innocent of the accusations against him but enemies of his people are the ones insisting he committed crimes against his people. Why is that so? |

Burob:Trash |
| Re: How Nnamdi Kanu Was Convicted On Engineered Insecurity by Burob: 10:22am On Jan 16 |
chiagozien:He could commit the crime against his so called people in Cameroon or even in the UK, but in Nigeria, they are Nigerian citizens, so he will be dealt with accordingly under the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. |

chiagozien:And when IPOB, BLA and ESN were on riot in your SE murdering police officers and soldiers while attacking police stations people like you were cheering them on. The call by Kanu to have his thug Ikonso buried with 2,000 heads was what exactly ? Was he talking of 2,000 goat heads ? |
| Re: How Nnamdi Kanu Was Convicted On Engineered Insecurity by chiagozien(m): 10:37am On Jan 16 |
DomPerignon:Provide evidence of Ipob and ESN claim responsibility of any of the attack. I will be waiting. I have proof of Ipob denied responsibility since 2022 when the madness started. |

chiagozien:Lol. You are asking a Nairalanders to provide you with evidence? To use for what exactly? Per proof you claim to have, why did you not supply it to help Kanu's case during his trial? Now Kanu is in jail and not seeing freedom anytime soon, you are barking about evidence. Does Nairaland resemble a law Court to you? You, Truthera and co should go and appeal in court on behalf of Kanu. Stop disturbing us here when we did not jail Kanu and certainly cannot help free him as you desire. |
| Re: How Nnamdi Kanu Was Convicted On Engineered Insecurity by chiagozien(m): 6:00pm On Jan 16 |
WizardOfNG:Then how my comment take concern you? You did see where I was first asked to provide evidence that insecurity in southeast was sponsored by Federal Government of Nigeria,na my own that you see and rush like a headless chicken to drop rubbish. Since your government jailed Kanu,has your Nigeria got better. |
| Re: How Nnamdi Kanu Was Convicted On Engineered Insecurity by Goosethetruth(m): 7:25pm On Jan 16 |
chiagozien:Guy,Nobody is the enemy of the Ibo. Rather you are enemies of yourselves because you hate the truth and lie to yourselves. It has got worse that the average Ibo believes his own false propaganda. You guys decieve yourselves all the time and then make yourselves happy by playing the victim all the time. Another nut job has installed herself as prime minister of Biafra government in exile to replace Ekpa. When she is arrested and tried for treason,you will come here to lament that,"You don't know law!" |

GBAM ‼️ 💯 you are spot on. Ipob don't know that there lame game don cast. They don't know that everyone can see that they are the enemies of the Igbos. The hypocrisy that they are always the victims after instigating, taunting,insulting, bragging, bullying and denigrating others to retaliate, so they can shamelessly portray themselves as external cry babies, is worn out. Tomorrow when the New crazy prime minister is arrested, they'll still come here to cry victimization, Red flag bla blah blah Ndi Ifele emechi. TUFIAKWA ‼️ 🤮 Goosethetruth: |

The usual APC cretins that only remember insecurity in Nigeria, only if it concerns the South-East, are already here Goosethetruth LottiOk WizardOfNG DomPerignon These are are people who dont remember insecurity if they hear that herdsmen roasted 200 people Yelwata, Benue state, or that bandits murdered over 30 people in Kasuwan daji Market, Nigeria State, just 2 weeks ago. The only insecurity they know is that of South East, the rest of Nigeria can burn ![]() But the funny part I laugh at all the time is that the only reason they remember insecurity, only if it affects the South-East is because they want "one Nigeria" ![]() "One Nigeria" is the biggest joke to come out of West Africa |

Normal u Gidigidy don't deserve a response cos the mods won't allow me tell u my mind but I'll leave u and ur fellow NK online members, some bitter truths that'll haunt you for the rest of your lives. 1. Me, you and all Igbos alive now till our 3rd generation, will all die and be buried as Nigerians, it's clear u've accepted this fate since all ur efforts to avert this keeps falling. 2. You and I will live to see the Nigeria Kanu made you his followers to hate so much, prosper and it's people florish and enjoy the country, in our lifetime. U'll realize in due time that nation building is by reasonable, mutually beneficial discussion, logical approach and social engagement rather than throwing tantrums,cursing and abusing and acting like you are ominipotent and ominipowertul 3. I pray u live long enough to realize and regret the ignoble role you played in this, ill-advised, illogical, sentiment driven and tactless insurrection that almost caused a modern Day genocide of emotionally misled Umuigbo. May posterity judge and reward us all of all our deeds. gidgiddy: |
| Re: How Nnamdi Kanu Was Convicted On Engineered Insecurity by gidgiddy: 11:53pm On Jan 16 |
LottiOk:You will live and die as a "Nigerian"? Well sorry to tell you this but you will live and die as the colonial creation of the British. To be more specific, you will live and die as a "Nigerian", the colonial slave name a white woman called Flora Shaw created in London, and the country her husband, Lugard, created in West Africa You will never be anything more than a British colonial product |
| Re: How Nnamdi Kanu Was Convicted On Engineered Insecurity by LottiOk: 1:59am On Jan 17 |
100% emotional outbursts, zero logic or sense in what you just penned as a rebuttal. USA, Ghana, Australia and many Commonwealth nations are all British colonial products and their citizens will all die as British colonial products. So where's the Sense in what you just wrote ⁉️🤦🏿♂️ Gidigidy you'll live an die as a Nigerian of the British colonial product and there's nothing you can do to change that fate,. absolutely nothing. Even if you finally get to the diaspora, you'll still be addressed as a Nigerian 1st even if you manage to gain a 2nd nationality like your jailed leaders Kanu and Ekpa. In the end they are still addressed as "Nigerian" separatist movement leaders. So the jokes on you cos to your eternal shame,you'll live and die a Nigerian that you hate so much to be addressed as. Reminds me of "Unkle Ruckus" who hated so much to be called a black Man,hated a despised blacks so much and never wanted to be identified as 1. Yet he was black Man and couldn't undo his Fate. gidgiddy: |

gidgiddy:@Bolded, Gidgiddy you just create scenarios in your brain and run with the false narrative. I don't really blame you because you were born into and weaned in propaganda and falsehood. Go through my posting history and show me a single post that extolled APC as a group or a political party! Gidgiddy, the problem I have with you and your cohorts is the lies you spew on Nairaland.com. I will always be here to counter your falsehood about events in Nigeria and the civil war in particular. I will never let you get away with falsehood without me countering you with truth in facts and figures. The simple difference between me and you is our distant views on terrorism and its perpetrators. While I believe all terrorists and their organisations should face the death penalty any where they operate in Nigeria,you gidgiddy on the other hand believe in tribally excusing Ibo terrorists like Kanu,Ekpa and their cohorts. So the difference between me and you is that- 1. Goosethetruth is opposed to all terrorists and believe the only good terrorist is a dead one. WHILE 2. gidgiddy is in support of all Ibo terrorists like Kanu,Ekpa and their cohorts and selectively supports and enables their activities and banned organisation. Quite frankly I have no interest in your activities and write ups except when you come here to spew your falsehood and propaganda. That is when I come out to expose you and your mischief. I stand for the truth and oppose all forms of terrorism and treason. If that in your book makes me an APC cretin,then so be it. However you can rest assured that I will always be here to oppose any attempt by you and your cohorts to revise Nigeria history in any form. |

LottiOk:Mentally, I checked out of Nigeria a long time ago. Only a fool will accept a British colonial creation that has never worked, and will never work. Not all of us have that sort of slave mentality |
