www.odogwublog.com reports that the Indigenous People of Biafra ( IPOB) says its intelligence unit has uncovered plot to assassinate its detained leader Nnamdi Kanu through a jail break.
IPOB in a press statement issued
yesterday by its Spokespersons, Emma Nmezu , and Clifford Iroanya, accused the
British government of masterminding the plot in collaboration with some
Nigerian elements.
" We alert the world that
the British Government is doing everything and anything to kill Mazi Nnamdi
Kanu.
"With this latest plan, we are
putting it on record that the life of Nnamdi Kanu is on a cliffhanger and the
British Government is behind every move to assassinate him."
According to IPOB, those behind the
plot are planning to use some terrorists to stage- manage a jail break in Kuje
prison where Kanu is currently detained and kill him under the pretext that he
was caught in a cross fire.
The statement read in part:
"The assassination will be carried out in the form of a stage-managed
prison escape of detained Boko Haram terrorists.
"The new plan is to bring other
members of Boko Haram living in Northern Nigeria to storm the Kuje prison and
instigate a prison jailbreak which will result in the exchange of gunfire
between them and security agencies during which Nnamdi Kanu will be purportedly
caught in the crossfire.
"We repeat with all finality
that the British Government is the mastermind of this plan.
"Our highly reliable and
impeccable intelligence source revealed that the British Government was rattled
by the revelations we made through our press release of January 6, 2017, where
we exposed their original plan to stealthily administer a non-traceable poison
on Nnamdi Kanu and this was supposed to happen before the swearing-in of
President Donald Trump of USA."
IPOB further said its fears about
the authenticity of the plot were heightened by a recent on- line report
which quoted the Information Minister, Lai Mohammed as saying that 'the
Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist group and an affiliate of BokoHaram, is
planning to attack banks, arms depot and prisons across the country with bombs
and high-calibre weapons.“
Mohammed was also quoted as
saying that ''further intelligence monitoring has revealed that members
of the Muslim Brotherhood are planning to forcefully free their members who are
in detention in Kogi, Abuja and Kaduna, including one Bilyaminu, an IED expert
for the group who is now at Kuje prison.''
IPOB therefore, argued that
"It is obvious that this is a well-choreographed plan to assassinate
the leader of IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, and pass it on to the jail-break attempts of
detained Boko Haram terrorists."
The pro- Biafra group wondered why
Britain would want Kanu who is also its citizen dead in Nigeria prison.
"Nnamdi Kanu is a British
citizen and is supposed to be protected by the British Government. Then
why does the British Government want their citizen dead? "
IPOB, called on the international
community and freedom fighters all over the globe to help save the life of its
leader, while vowing that the quest for Biafra restoration remains
non-negotiable despite the resistances.
"We call upon conscientious
people and leaders all over the world to advise the British Government to
withdraw from their evil plan of trying to kill Nnamdi Kanu.
"We affirm our determination to
restore the nation of Biafra. Therefore, the British Government and their
Nigerian collaborators will never stop us. The nation of Biafra is our
God-given inheritance, and nobody or government will stop us from taking back
our nation."
The British Embassy in Nigeria could
not be reached for its reaction to the allegations.
