IPOB in a statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Comrade Emma Powerful, said it has been searching for its leader Mazi Kanu and his parents since the allaged atteack of their compound but cannot find them.
“We the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, world wide under the leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu wish to bring to the notice of the whole world that the whereabouts of our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and his parents are still unknown to mankind since the attack in his compound last week.
“IPOB have been searching for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and his parents but they are no where to be found since, last week, we are challenging the Nigerian Army and Police to produce our leader Mazi Nnamdi since it is a prerogative right for him to make statement informing his confidants and teeming members all over the world about his condition.”
The post Nnamdi Kanu, father, mother missing alleges IPOB appeared first on Vanguard News.

TonyeBarcanista:
instead of them to caution Kanu when he started his madness they were playing politics with him with pat on the back. Thank God sanity has been restored...

The troops left? IPOB is still in their zone, wake me up wen Biafra finish.

It is like the militant u give dem amnesty, but dey are still in NigerDelta, anythime dey like they resume work.

Wake me up wen IPOB finish.

Abeg make una no go carry ex-prisoners come dey form IPOB memebers.

Nigeria Army desperate to create terrorist group in SE.

omenka:
Egypt declared a political party that won a preaidential election a terrorist group and clamped down heavily on them. Egypt is one of America's strongest allies.

Heaven didn't fall.

Ipob is a terrorist organization. Deal with that.

It was a muslim brotherhood.

theNOISEmaker:

Nigeria Army should leave Enugu alone, first they set bomb earlier in the week and now they want to rebuild their mosque and burn.

DEFENCE HEADQUARTERS CAN'T DECLARE IPOB A TERRORIST ORGANISATION- SAYS HURIWA

A pro- Democracy and Non- Governmental organisation- HUMAN RIGHTS WRITERS ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA (HURIWA) has warned that the Nigerian Military has increasingly become anti- democratic and assuming legislative powers just as the Rights group said the Defence Headquarters can't exercise a power they don't have picking and choosing when to grade any group a terror organisation.
HURIWA said both section 4 of the Constitution of Nigeria and section 6 recognised the National Assembly as the body to exercise legislative powers of the federation and the judicial powers of the Federation and therefore condemns the attempt by the Defence Headquarters to execute a power the Constitution does not confer on it. The group said the pronouncement on IPOB as a terrorist group is a charade and a plot to initiate violent crackdown on the members of this substantially unarmed and peaceful group.

The Rights group said the military institution as a creation of the law must not be permitted to grow wings and become an omnibus vehicle that would ride roughshod on the democratic and constitutional rights of associations and groups to operate as strictly non-violent and peaceful bodies just as HURIWA said by the Constitutional provision only the Courts of competent jurisdictions or the legislative chambers of the Nigerian National Assembly under the relevant provisions of the Constitution has the law making bodies to so make pronouncements on which groups can be categorised as terrorist organisations.

In a statement by the National Coordinator Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko and the National Media Affairs Director Miss ZainabYusuf, HURIWA said the attempt by Major General John Enenche of the Defence Headquarters to confer on his office the powers of judicial or legislative authorities by unilaterally declaring the Europe registered Indigenous peoples of Biafra (IPOB) as a terrorist group is unconstitutional, illegal, arbitrary, null and void and of no consequence just as the Rights group said the pronouncement is ominous and could spell doom for the continuous enjoyment of Constitutional freedoms should such a careless pronouncement of lawlessness and tyranny not be challenged and condemned.

"We reject this coup plot against the constitutional rights of citizens to join associations freely and to assemble peacefully. The illegal pronouncement of the Defence Headquarters that IPOB is a terrorist organisation shows that the Defence authority is working in tandem with the AREWA YOUTH coalition which had recently canvassed the declaration of IPOB as a terrorist group. The military must be stopped from attempting to imprison a huge number of Igbo youth only because they are seeking to enjoy their rights to self determination which is authorised by all international laws. This Defence Headquarters will one day pronounce any town union as terrorist organisation the moment the group opposes the government of the day. This dictatorship must be uprooted immediately and comprehensively defeated".

" We agree with a prominent Benin lawyer who affirmed that Section 2 of the Terrorism (prevention) Act, 2011 (as amended)

Proscribed or terrorist organization:
(c) setting up or pursuing acts of terrorism, the Judge in Chambers may on an application made by Attorney General, National Security Adviser or Inspector General of police on the approval of the President ; declare any entity to be a proscribed organization and the notice should be published in official gazette".

Please has the DHQ complied with the appropriate procedure in declaring IPOB a terrorist organization ? What is the legal and operational implication of this declaration ?

What is " acts of terrorism" in the circumstances of this Law ?

Are Herdsmen terrorists?".

I'm so happy for the timely intervention of the Army

wat have been achieved? U are an enemy of Nigeria.

Buhari lacks wisdom.

Military operation is not the solution to Biafra agitation - Obasanjo Author: Omotayo Yusuf UPDATED: 10 MINUTES AGO VIEWS: 3285 Category: Local news SHARE ON FACEBOOK SEND VIA EMAIL SHARE ON FACEBOOK SEND VIA EMAIL - Chief Olusegun Obasanjo cautioned against military operation in the south east - The former president said he would like to meet with Nnamdi Kanu - He said President Buhari should also try to meet with him Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has said that the Operation Python Dance in the south east region will not solve the problem of agitation.

The former president in an interview with Newsweek noted that military engagement was not the solution to the problem but dialogue. READ ALSO: Biafra: Police finally reveals cause of Hausa, Igbos’ crisis in Jos There has been unrest in the region between members of the Indigenous People Of Biafra led by Nnamdi Kanu and soldiers and Obasanjo argues that it is better to handle the situation diplomatically. Obasanjo called on President Muhammadu Buhari to meet with Kanu before the social unrest degenerate into a full blown war. He said: “Those who fought the war in Biafra will not want to fight any other war. I fought in the war. It’s an unfortunate war. I don’t want to see another war. “The heavy boot is not the solution. “I don’t see anything wrong in that [Buhari meeting with Kanu]. I would not object to that; if anything, I would encourage it,” Obasanjo tells Newsweek. “I would want to meet Kanu myself and talk to people like him, people of his age, [and ask:] ‘What are your worries?’ Not only from the southeast but from all parts of Nigeria.” PAY ATTENTION: Read the news on Nigeria’s #1 new app We are not dialoguing enough either at the local or international level” Meanwhile, the Nigerian military categorized IPOB as a terrorist group. The Defence Headquarters said following analysis by the military on the various activities of the group, the Armed Forces has profiled the IPOB as a terrorist organization.

The DHQ in a statement signed by the director of defence information John Eneche said after due professional development and recent developments and activities of the group, it has become important to notify the public that IPOB and its members are not as non-violent as they claim. Eneche also warned parents and unsuspecting residents of the southeast and the general public to advice their wards against joining the group.

I can never support a country dat goes around murdering its own people.

People dat have comited no criminal offence. Tomorow it could be u.

It will never be well with Nigeria.

gmacnoms:
as much as I don't support or or disapprove the biafran movement, I also dnt support the killings of Nigerians in the name of curbing the biafran agitation. My own opinion is that, whether biafra or Nigeria, it's still the same situation of corrupt and mismanagement that will exist.

Precisely! One thing dat i am certain is that military men children always suffer becos of the crime of their father. It is just too much.

biancarz:
Ibos are now acting like they care about Northerners
Aren't these the same Northerners Nnamdi Kanu told ipobs to go and kill

One Nigeria or no one Nigeria, i will never side evil. Buhari is a great evil and he should just step down.

See wat Buahri and Buratai did here to unarmed civilians.
Buhari was elected to give his family the best, send dem to London and den murder the poor average suffering man.

This is Zazaky family,(unarmed civilians) this case is still ongoing and he has started doing another one. Buhari is a disgusting man.

This is really disgusting.

We are suppose to be in a democracy. I am so upset right now.

The attention deficit kids above me should be ignored.

They did not have mother or breast milk wen dey were small, that is y dey turn out like dat.

Did anybody notice that one of the men in the video was dead with blood all over his body.

Abagworo:
This is nothing new with soldiers. It is the mildest form of punishment once meted out on popular musician Timaya at Aba road. It's called "siddon for gutter". Having murdered innocent people I don't think this punishment is enough for the IPOB murderers.

One of dem appears to be dead in the video, lying still in the pool of his own blood.

U call dat mild? U must be out of ur mind.

Buhari should just resign and let Osinbajo lead the country out of crisis.

Buhari should resign for Osinbajo to lead this country out of crisis.

I was complaining about the one dey did yesterday, dey have done worst today.
Buhari will break Nigeria before his useless tenure ends.

Wat type of nonsense is this nitori olorun. Even Boko Haram have not receive this kind abuse. Buharis is really sick and should be returned to London fast.
This is Boko Haram no handcuff in court.

oluseyiforjesus:
Is it that this IPOB boys didn't do Government in Secondary school or their grand parents didn't tell them hw many pple Lost their lives in Biafra/Nigeria war?
IPOB remember Ojukwu didn't die in the War oOooooooo, it was after d war he even married Bianca........ think twice

Times have changed and u know this too well. I think we should watch out for the UN.

Buhari is an idiot.

victorDanladi:
so you want to be there next wole soyinka?

They will come back here tomorrow and call you cowards,betrayals and all sort of name!

I am not a Biafran, i dont think Nigeria should split but Buhari will break this country, he lacks tact.

It is all over social media.

I come here, nairaland is busy hiding news and stories making round on twitter.

I just cannot believe that Nigeria dont know technology and different platforms are carrying the news.

U hide on nairaland, can u hide on twitter, youtube, facebook equally carrying the same story.

As for Buhari, he is a complete and utter failure.

I just finish from work, all over social media is Army kill dis in the east, army kill dat in the east.

It is unbecoming of Buhari. If we dont cage him, he will break Nigeria.

TheCabal:
Disintegration will start from the east. But, I wonder if much momentum would go past the Niger Bridge.

Can the Ibo man in the north burn down Kano or Kaduna or those in the east obliterate Lagos or Ogun or Perhaps those in Rivers or Calabar.

No my friend. People will watch, the east will burn. On Sunday and Friday we will go to Church and Mosque, in the evening we will be at the beer parlors and clubs and on Monday we will forget.

You know why ...because all other regions will be doing this
https://s6.postimg.org/cf8c07f8x/kid_climbing.jpg

If one Nigeria, is dis ur type, full of venom, then I will say let them have their Biafra free of venomous animals.

I typically do not support Biafra being a separate country from Nigeria but it is better than toxic living.

Buhari want to burn down the country so he can be perpetual president without elections in 2019.

TheCabal:
[s]Actually, I rather they are cordoned. Let the people in the east accept or reject IPOB.

Till they start reclaiming their Nigerian citizenships after their sons have been decapitated and daughters raped and impregnated by ill seeds like the people in Borno.

Right now, their belle dey sweet. For thier mind "we go show awusa, we pepper yoruba".

Olodo them think sey Chinedu for Sokoto abi Maduka for Lagos go carry IED enter marketplace. If the fire erupts, let it burn in the east for a few days - so it is clear that other regions of the federal republic with not join in this madness.

Highest we donate relief materials [/s]

Right thinking people already knows dat this Buahri road will lead to disintegration and if we must disintegrate it is better we do it in peace.
