The Indigenous People of Biafra has said that Nigeria will see what it calls complete madness should anything funny happen to its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, in Kuje Prison, Abuja, where he is being held.
The prison was invaded by terrorists on Tuesday, releasing their members and many other inmates.
According to IPOB, the best thing for the government to do is relocate Kanu to a South-Eastern prison.
In a statement issued Thursday by its Spokesperson, Emma Powerful, it noted:
“We, the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra, under our great leader, Nnamdi Kanu, wish to let the world know that IPOB members were profiled and detained in Kuje Prison yards for simply being indigenous to Biafra and of Igbo race.
It further warned that it would not take it easy should anything happen to its members.
“We have their (IPOB members) details and want them alive because if anything untoward happens to our comrades, who are detained in Kuje, IPOB will never take it easy.
“It is high time these innocent folks are released. Nigeria cannot continue to detain them indefinitely while allowing terrorists and bandits to come and slaughter them under disguised arrangements.
“A very pertinent question to ask is how can bandits and terrorists be rampaging the North, even supposedly attacking the President’s convoy and breaking into prison yards to release their colleagues, while the government deployed and continue to deploy battalion of soldiers to occupy many peaceful communities in Biafraland?
“Our intelligence unit uncovered an evil plan against our leader. We are, therefore, demanding that our leader, Kanu, be transferred immediately to a prison in the Eastern region for his safety.
“If anything untoward happens to him, Nigeria will see and feel total and consuming madness. Even after the Biafran nation’s freedom is fully achieved, they will never have peace.”
