Leader of Indigenous People of
Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has accused the Nigerian Army of attempting to kill
him over his determination to actualise Biafra.
He spoke after the alleged
invasion of his home at Afara Ukwu, Umuahia, where some persons were allegedly
killed and scores injured.
Soldiers reportedly stormed his
home at about 6.30pm yesterday.
Kanu said they shot sporadically,
adding that their sole aim was to take his life.
Narrating the incident to Daily
Sun, Kanu recalled he was resting when one of his relatives drew his attention
to heavy presence of soldiers at the main entrance to his family home.
He said within few minutes, “the
soldiers started shooting sporadically and, in the process, wounded many people
within the vicinity.
“Their action was a crude show of
power on innocent and defenceless people of Biafra”.
Kanu, however, called on his
members “to remain calm”.
Also reacting, Kanu’s younger
brother Emmanuel, in his response, said any attempt to kill his elder brother
will spell doom for the country.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian Army
has reacted to the alleged invasion.
