Joe Igbokwe, a stalwart of the All Progressives Congress
(APC) says the Federal Government of Nigeria has enormous evidence to convict
Biafra agitator, Nnamdi Kanu.
The trial of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader
will resume at the Federal High Court on July 26.
Kanu, who faces treason charges, was arrested in an
international operation on June 27.
The separatist was on the run for years after he jumped bail.
Igbokwe, the Special Adviser on Drainage and Water Resources
to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, said the IPOB leader perpetrated several
crimes.
In an interview with BBC News Pidgin, he recalled how Kanu
ordered a hit on him and his family.
“He tok on Radio Biafra, say if dem see me, im boys, make
dem behead me and kill all my children, destroy my home.
“Dem (FG) get big evidence..wetin im tok and wetin hapun.
You tink say dem go blame these boys for South-East for di destruction, killing
of policemen, and burning of police formations?
“Na dia leader, dem go bring dis tins before am. Dem go
bring Gulak case before am, so many tins. E go see imsef dey tok, so na
evidence. You sell yourself out, dat na how e go-go.”
Igbokwe noted that the available proofs are weighty and
unbelievable. He said Kanu incited murder, arson and promoted “Jubril from
Sudan”, a reference to President Muhammadu Buhari.
Asked if IPOB can continue to function with the secessionist
in government custody, the APC chieftain said the proscribed group has been
“overtaken by events”.
Igbokwe stressed that war is no longer an option in the 21st
and reiterated he is proudly Nigerian and will die as one.
