Family of leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has alleged intimidation and harassment by security operatives.
Nnamdi Kanu’s family has,
therefore, appealed to well-meaning people and the international community to
call the security agents to order.
In a statement, the
family’s spokesman, Prince Emmanuel Kanu, said operatives of the Department of
State Security (DSS) have, in recent times, been patrolling the Afara Ukwu
country home of the Kanus and, in particular, mounting a 24-hour surveillance
on their home.
In addition, Kanu said
police in Abia State have begun the construction of a security post close to
the family house, all in a bid to continue their intimidation and harassment of
members of the family, under the guise of providing security in the area.
He said what security
outfits are doing in Afara Ukwu is uncalled for, since the area is one of the
most peaceful in Igbo land. He advised them to rather direct their energies and
professional prowess, if they had any, to the NorthEast, where Boko Haram had
decimated the population, and Benue State, where he said Fulani herdsmen have turned
into a slaughter ground.
Kanu said it is getting
clearer by the day that security operatives are planning to raid their home
again, but said it would serve the image of the security outfits better if they
return what they looted from their house during the first and second raids,
including their mother’s two boxes of clothes.
“The family is still making
a case for all the things they looted from our house during their first and
second raids, particularly our mother’s two boxes, as anybody still keeping
those boxes will have no peace until they are returned.”
