Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has said the “enemies of his peaceful movement” are funding the sit-at-home order in the South East.
Kanu charged people of the South East to fish out these criminals from their hideouts.
He disclosed this at the Department of State Services, DSS, in Abuja during his routine meeting with his legal team.
A statement on Tuesday, December 13, 2023, by his lead Counsel, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, said Kanu commended the people of the South East for ignoring the recent sit-at-home order in the region.
“Onyendu Kanu directed that the criminals who are still on rampage, ostensibly being funded by the enemies of his peaceful movement in their desperate bid to ensure that our land is completely destroyed, should be fished out from their hideouts. Onyendu further requested that UmuChineke should monitor the modus operandi of these soulless beings and discretely smoke them out from their various hideouts,” the statement reads partly.
The IPOB leader condemned the killings and destruction of these criminal elements.
Lately, there has been a series of killings and destructions in the South East.
The attacks followed the sit-at-home order issued by Finland-based agitator, Simon Ekpa.
Nnamdi Kanu Withdraws N20 Billion Case Against Malami, Nigerian Spy Chief
The Federal High Court Abuja has discontinued a suit filed by the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu against the Attorney-General of the Federation Abubakar Malami and the Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency Ahmed Abubakar.
Mister Kanu had filed the suit through his Special Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, seeking, among other reliefs, an order of the court directing the defendants to pay him the sum of N20 billion being general and exemplary damages.
The suit, which was before Justice Inyang Ekwo, sought to challenge the manner Nnamdi Kanu was arrested in Kenya. According to Ejimakor, the suit was discontinued for strategic reasons that would be inappropriate and unprofessional to disclose publicly.
Part of the reliefs sought in the suit includes a declaration that Kanu’s arrest and imprisonment at a location in Kenya and the subsequent imprisonment in the aircraft that conveyed him from Kenya to Nigeria, amounted to false arrest and false imprisonment;
A declaration that the defendants acted in bad faith and/or abused their public offices in falsely arresting and falsely imprisoning the plaintiff at the said location in Kenya and said aircraft;
An order of the court directing the defendants to, jointly and severally, pay to the plaintiff the sum of N20 billion being general and exemplary damages;
An order of the court directing the defendants to separately write and deliver to the plaintiff, an unreserved personal letter of apology.
Justice Inyang Ekwo had fixed Friday, November 18, for the hearing of the matter. However, Kanu’s counsel announced today that the suit has been discontinued.
