The leader of the Indigenous
People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has cautioned Igbos residing in the North
that they are doing so at their peril.
Speaking in an interview with
journalists in Enugu on Monday, where he received awards from a number of
pan-Igbo groups, including the Igbo Women Assembly, the Eastern Consultative
Assembly and the Igbo Students Union, Kanu claimed that Northerners have been
killing Igbos since 1945.
“It is up to them. They have been
in the North, and they (northerners) have been killing us (Igbo) since 1945.
“If you choose to live in the
North, you choose to be a sacrificial lamb because one day, they will kill you.
It is a choice they have made and they will have to live with it,” he said.
Kanu also insisted that Igbos
vacating the North was not a condition for the actualisation of Biafra.
He explained that secession does
not imply that Igbos must leave any part of Nigeria.
“You are aware that Scotland is
seeking to leave the United Kingdom? Are you remotely implying that every
person from Scotland, who lives in England, should now return to Scotland?
“Britain just left the EU. Are
you now implying that every British citizen in the EU should come back to
Britain in order to finalise that process of extraction of Britain from the
EU?,” Kanu added.
