The Indigenous People of Biafra has called on Nigerians and
its global supporters to disregard as fake news the statement and audio notes
making the rounds that Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, and the senator
representing Anambra South in the Senate, Ifeanyi Uba, were among those who
facilitated the alleged ‘abduction’ of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
The group, however, said a probe that would reveal their
alleged involvement had been begun.
According to the group, the statement, which was maliciously
credited to its Directorate of Media and Publicity, was being peddled by agents
of confusion, stressing that at the moment, nothing had indicted Wike and Uba
in Kanu’s repatriation to Nigeria.
The secessionist group said in a statement signed by its
Director of Media and Publicity, Emma Powerful, it had no evidence to link Wike
and Uba to the “unlawful” arrest of its leader and called on its supporters to
ignore the politics behind the statement.
The statement read in part, “The attention of the global
movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra, ably led by our great leader, Mazi
Nnamdi Kanu, has been drawn to the false and malicious press statement and
audio being circulated and purported to have been issued by our Media and
Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful. In the said statement, Powerful was quoted
as accusing Senator Ifeanyi Uba and Governor Nyesom Wike of colluding with the
enemies and facilitating the betrayal and abduction of our leader, Mazi Nnamdi
Kanu, in Kenya.
“We, therefore, wish to dissociate ourselves from the fake
statement being peddled by agents of confusion. Our publicity secretary never
at any time linked Senator Ifeanyi Uba or Governor Wike with the wicked
betrayal of our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. If they were involved in the dirty
deal, our investigations into the matter will reveal it. But for now, we have
no evidence to link them with the atrocity. IPOB does not act based on
speculation or rumour. Our assertions are evidence-based and products of
credible intelligence.”
