IPOB distances Kanu from soldiers’ killing makes case for his release

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has cleared the air on any misinterpretation that may have emanated from a statement credited to the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide President General, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, concerning his discussion with its detained leader, Nnamdi Kanu, during a recent visit.

IPOB, in a statement issued on Saturday by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, said Iwuanyanwu’s statements were taken out of context as Kanu did not order anyone to go out and kill soldiers or anyone else for that matter.

Powerful noted that the elder statesman meant to say that Kanu is not part of those using the name of IPOB to commit crime or cause havoc in Igboland but the statement was twisted out of proportion.
