Kanu who spoke through IPOB spokesperson, Emma Powerful said the burial would follow the normal burial preparation, according to the custom of the land.
He, however, refused to disclose the security arrangements put in place for the burial in view of its sensitivity.
“The burial of our leader’s parents’ burial will be 14th of February 2020,” the organisation’s spokesperson said.
“We are not going to disclose our security arrangements because they are much (sic) enemies who wish to destroy or destabilize every effort made for the successful burial of these (sic) father and mother of our leader.
“IPOB is on ground and nothing will change our resolve to protect the environment.”
Kanu stressed the resolve of the group to maintain a peaceful approach to their struggle for the actualisation of Biafra republic.
“We are peaceful and will maintain it to last (sic) point. But nobody should try IPOB,” he insisted.
The IPOB leader lost his father Eze Israel Kanu, four months after his mother, Ugoeze Sally Kanu, also died.
Eze Kanu was the traditional ruler of Afara Ukwu Umuahia community till his death.
