Detained leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu has descended heavily on the founder of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) and Biafra Independent Movement (BIM), Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, describing him as a coward and the real fraudster.
Uwazuruike
had, in reaction to an allegation by IPOB that the Federal Government had
contracted him to give witness against Kanu in court in the on going trial of
the IPOB leader, wearing mask, denied the allegation and also disparaged Kanu
and his IPOB by describing them as fraudsters.
Speaking
through his younger brother, Kanunta Kanu, Nnamdi Kanu said Uwazuruike should
not be a coward by denying he had a deal with the Federal Government to testify
against him in court, wearing mask.
He
said Uwazuruike was promised an oil block by the Federal Government to testify
against him in court.
“I
want to let the world know that Uwazuruike is the number one witness Nigeria
has in her case against Kanu. We are not against him doing so, but he should
not be a coward. If he wants to testify, let him come out openly and do that
and lets see if he will come back the same person, people will never recognise
him again. He will be in exile; he will never come back to Igbo land.
“Uwazuruike
is denying that he never had a deal with the Federal Government to stand as
witness against Kanu under cover, but he has forgotten that no matter how a
bird flies up, her underneath must be seen, we know him and he thinks that is
the only way he can kill IPOB which he has seen as a threat.
“But
he is a coward, since he wants to destroy the structure on ground, let
him come out openly and testify against Nnamdi in court and see if he would come
back the same person.
On
the allegation by Uwazuruike that Kanu and his IPOB were fraudsters, Kanunta
who spoke on behalf of his brother from his base in Germany said it was the
MASSOB/BIM leader who was the real fraudster.
“Uwazuruike
is the real fraudster; he is the conman who has duped Biafrans billions of
naira. We all know that Uwazuruike has taken money from the government, he has
compromised this struggle from the on set, so, there is nothing he can do for
Biafran people, not in this generation, not even in the next one to come.”
Meanwhile,
IPOB has demanded that Uwazuruike, within four days should provide evidence of
the alleged fraud of its leader, Kanu and its membership or be unmasked.
IPOB
said Uwazuruike’s evidence must be proven beyond every reasonable doubt and the
evidence must not be anecdotal or mere conjecture, but verifiable and provable
acts of fraud carried out by either Nnamdi Kanu or members of IPOB.
Uwazuruike
was reportedly quoted to have alleged and “described Nnamdi Kanu and his IPOB
as fraudsters who are out to deceive gullible people”published in one of the
national dailies not Sun Newspapers on Wednesday this week.
A
statement signed by the deputy leader, IPOB, Mr. Uche Mefor and spokespersons
of the organisation, Mr. Emma Nmezu and Dr. Clifford Chukwuemeka Iroanya said
if at the expiration of the period given to Uwazuruike to make available all
his evidence of fraud against Kanu and IPOB then it would release information
about him laden with facts and figures.
The
statement read in part: “If at the expiration of the period given to you to
make public all your evidence of fraud against Kanu and IPOB you fail to do so,
we will release information about you laden with facts and figures. All you
have struggled to hide from the public knowledge will be laid bare. At the end
of this exercise, MASSOB members themselves will lynch you.
“We
are not against any person wishing to remain relevant from peddling market
place gossip against our leader, but in true IPOB form, we expect concrete
evidence to accompany your flimsy accusations. Because we shall come after you
with avalanche of proofs that will make you wish you never associated your
dubious self with the word Biafra because criminals should not have anything to
do with freedom fighting.
“You
are about to be unmasked big time. Your life will no longer be the same after
January 15, 2017. Go and prepare for your final disgrace and exit from the
efforts to restore Biafra. Our facts and evidence will speak for itself. You
are about to understand why IPOB is a monster that consumes enemies of Biafra
both within and outside.”
Narrating
Kanu’s problem with Uwazuruike, Kanunta said it all started in 2009 when MASSOB
leader came to the United Kingdom and wanted to buy a property in London which
Kanu refused him doing, reasoning that the money contributed by poor Biafrans
should not be so spent.
“We
had problem with Uwazuruike because he wanted to buy a property in Gladstone
junction in East London in 2009 and we told him no, that he can’t betray our
people in Nigeria by using the same money these people were contributing to buy
property in London, that it will never happen. That was when we started having
problem with Uwazuruike in the first place because they can’t be killing our
people at home and you come to London to buy property with their money.
“Anybody
that has a superior idea over Uwazuruike, he wouldn’t like to work with that
person. When we saw that we wanted to correct him, he felt threatened and
started doing all sorts of things. Uwazuruike runs around in his kitchen and
thinks that Biafra starts in his kitchen and ends up in his kitchen.
“Uwazuruike
is fighting Kanu because his MASSOB has been contaminated; it was listed as a
terrorist organisation because he was using that platform to kidnap people
which was what he did to Kanu in 2009.
He
said Uwazuruike wants to testify against Kanu to send him to jail because he
(Uwazuruike) thinks Biafra could only be achieved under his watch, but that he
doesn’t have what it takes to actualise Biafra. He alleged that the MASSOB
founder lacks the intellectual capacity to actualise Biafra.
“Biafra
is a name that comes first before any creature in this planet earth, Uwazuruike
has failed so many times and he will continue to fail because he puts himself
first before Biafra and not the other way round,” he said.
