Evil Elements Order Sit-at-Home To Tarnish My Name And IPOB – Nnamdi Kanu

Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, has distanced himself from the arbitrary imposition of sit-at-home orders on southeastern residents.

Kanu, in a statement signed by his lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, after their meeting at the Department Of State Services (DSS) cell on Monday, urged his supporters and the general public to disregard the alleged days of sit-at-home sanctioned by people he described as “criminals” and “evil elements” paid to destabilise the region and blackmail his IPOB movement.

The IPOB leader denounced the sit-in order, emphasising that he did not sanction them, and urged southeasters to go about their business rather than obey mischief makers’ orders. He also stated that anyone involved in criminal activity under the guise of fighting for freedom should be considered an enemy of Ndigbo.

According to the statement, Nnamdi Kanu, in a 10-point directive issued before his legal team led by Chief Ozekhome, SAN, and Bar Nnaemeka Ejiofor, stressed that destructive activities taking place in Igboland are the work of “hired marauders” who are taking advantage of his temporary absence to inflict untold mayhem, vandalism, and calamity on the people.

The rest of the statement read, “Onyendu reiterated and emphasized his long-held position of distancing himself and his IPOB movement from the illegal and nefarious activities of these God-forsaken elements who mean no well for the Ndigbo and Alaigbo.

“From the foregoing background, Onyendu specifically requested his legal team to inform Ezigbo UmuChineke, and all lovers of peace and freedom of the following:

1. That in our quest for and prosecution of our people’s God-given right to self-determination, our people cannot themselves be seen as those trampling upon the fundamental rights of other people to exercise their own freedoms and fundamental rights.

2. That our people SHALL vehemently resist, and MUST NOT ALLOW any form of criminality to overshadow or becloud their legitimate and internationally-sanctioned aspiration for a peaceful Nation of their own, devoid of any forms of violence and intimidation.

3. That any person who obeys or enforces any unsanctioned sit-at-home instructions which are being declared and imposed by some criminal elements who have been paid huge sums of money by some faceless persons to blackmail and consequently destroy him and his IPOB movement should count himself or herself as the Number 1 enemy of Onyendu and our peace-loving people; and consequently, such persons must be aware of the grave and dire consequences that lie ahead them for such criminal acts. Onyendu unequivocally stated that he has not ordered, any SIT-AT-HOME in Biafra land. He directs that all our people should go about their normal life and businesses without let or hindrance,so as not to destroy the socio-economic life of our people, which have become the envy of all.

4. Onyendu reiterated that our people should act with the greatest circumspection, particularly now that the international conspiracy in the ongoing blackmail has assumed a new dimension of dangerous proportions being perpetrated and orchestrated by those clearly acting the script of their paymasters.These are the evil elements relentlessly dishing out brazen threats,blatant lies and bare-faced falsehood to our people.These are the same persons that recruit,control and command criminal elements who have been imported into our land to kidnap,maim,kill and commit all sorts of atrocities with a view to justifying government’s continued illegal and unconstitutional detention of Onyendu,and thus provide government’s much needed alibi,platform and simulated justification for the international community to recognize the illegal and criminal proscription of the otherwise peace-loving IPOB,which is currently on appeal.

5. That it will be foolhardy of our people not to decipher,see through and recognize the dangerous prevailing international conspiracy to blackmail his peaceful IPOB movement and portray UmuChineke in bad light as vicious and murderous kidnappers and armed killers; whereas, they are not, have never been,and will never be.

6. That the criminal elements who have been imported into our land to desecrate same should know that kidnapping is a criminal offence of grievous nature for which the Holy Bible sanctions the execution of the perpetrators. Onyendu maintains that Kidnapping is evil and alien to our culture and psyche as a people of God.

7. That anyone who is involved in any form of criminality under the thin guise of freedom-fighting is an enemy of our peace-loving and hardworking people; and also of Onyendu too.

8. That UmuChineke should know that our people are surrounded by many enemies and as such, must be circumspect about their actions and utterances before the World,so as not to fall prey into their boobytraps and already dug pits.

9. That the World is watching with keen interest, even as those fully funded by the enemies, and who do not want Onyendu to be freed,are desperately exploring all avenues to carry out their evil and nefarious activities,so as to later turn around to blame and hang these on Onyendu and his peaceful IPOB movement.

10. More importantly, that discerning minds should understand that the reason why the Federal Government of Nigeria has refused to obey the Court of Appeal order which directed his unconditional release non further prosecution,and even refused to take any steps towards prosecuting their appeal before the Supreme Court, by failing to file relevant court processes before the court, is because they are relentlessly scouting around for possible items and loopholes to blackmail him, his IPOB movement and our people. Our people should never give or dignify them with such ignoble and inglorious opportunity. This is why our people must reject,denounce and fight to a standstill,all forms of criminality in our land which are being perpetrated by the enemies of our people. These are those who are fully engaged in maiming,killing and kidnapping our innocent sons and daughters,so as to mask them as IPOB-engineered atrocities. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH PLEASE!”
