Viral Audio: Nnamdi Kanu’s Family Debunks Claims That IPOB Leader Was Poisoned
By People’s Voice Nigeria | News
The family of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has urged members of the public to discountenance the voice note circulating in the social media, alleging that the IPOB leader has been poisoned.
Kanu’s younger brother, Prince Emmanuel, told our correspondent that he, along with Kanu’s lawyers, met with the IPOB leader on Thursday at the Abuja headquarters of the Department of State Services, DSS, where he is currently detained.
He said his brother did not tell him he was poisoned as of Thursday, when they met last, but he promised to find out the true situation on Monday, January 30, when he said he hoped to visit him again.
Kanu’s brother wondered how the story of the alleged poisoning began and cautioned against fake news.
Prince Emmanuel urged Kanu’s followers, Biafrans, and members of the public not to take laws into their hands but to remain calm, as he hoped to see and hear from his brother again on Monday.
Kanu’s brother had posted on his Facebook page the outcome of Thursday’s meeting with him.
The post read: “I met with Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in the company of an evangelist and Barr Nnaemeka Ejiofor at the Department of State Services, Abuja.
“As always, we focused more on the victories recorded and the way forward.” He maintained that this struggle for liberation remains a collective fight and thanked those who have not betrayed the struggle.
“He said Nigeria has continuously flouted the orders of her own court, and such will never be tolerated in IPOB.” Those who attack this noble structure were not there when it was built and can never bring it down.
“This movement is divine.” To me, IPOB is a huge achievement for our people and for men and women of good conscience. “We have come that humanity may be set free.”
Meanwhile, the voice note that is currently trending on social media claims that Kanu had been poisoned in detention, urging “Biafrans” to go on a rampage in protest.
