Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has told his members to go after the Abia State Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu and capture him to face trial for the role the governor played in the killing of #ENDSARS protesters in the state.
In a press statement last night, the IPOB leader directed that Ikpeazu be captured wherever seen.
Kanu’s statement read: “Okezie Ikpeazu is in Asaga village Ohafia. He is hiding in the house of his Chief of Staff, one Ukpai Agwu Ukpai.
“Our youths in Ohafia are hereby instructed to capture him alive to face trial for the numerous murders he committed including the death of protesters yesterday (Tuesday) in Aba. On no account must he be allowed to leave Ohafia alive. Its an order.”
He urged the #EndSARS protesters not to give up, adding “the oppressors will try every option including shooting to quell the protest, but nobody should be deterred.
“We call on every youth, man and woman to join the protests now. This is the time everybody should identify with this movement to rescue our collective future and destiny from suffocation.”
Kanu, a very controversial figure has had a running battle with the Abia state government since 2017, accusing the governor of masterminding the military invasion of his father’s compound in Umuahia in September of that year- an action that led to the death of scores of IPOB members.
