The deputy leader of the separatist group, Indigenous People of Biafra, Uche Mefor has raised alarm over alleged plot to assassinate their leader, Nnamdi Kanu, who is currently being detained in Kuje prisons, Abuja.
On his Facebook timeline, Mefor who is domiciled in the United Kingdom accused Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court of using her position as a Judge to serve as a tool to breaking Kanu’s resolve given her non-stop decision reversal.
The IPOB’s second-in-command further accused the Department of State Security (DSS) of infiltrating IPOB with the intention of destroying the group from within.’
His statement reads in full:
As I write, the assassination plot to eliminate the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, at Kuje prison is gathering momentum. Justice Binta Nyako is being used from the legal front to break the resolve of our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu as can be distinctly observed on her multiple volt-face rulings culminating in the reversing of her decisions at will and now gone back to introducing the must wicked and devilish Sharia penal code in the criminal justice system using our leader as guinea pig experiment. They are by this trying to try our leader in secret for an alleged trumped up charges for which they have not found any incriminating evidence to the contrary for almost two year running now.
Furthermore, the DSS is being used to infiltrate the IPOB with a view to destroying it from within.they are as we write recruiting IPOB family members to carry our these hatchet jobs. The recent stage-managed creation of a parallel authority to that our of leader is a case in hand.The people involved know themselves.
Today, the prison authorities have have further debarred anybody from visiting our leader at Kuje prison.Specifically, all the visitors who lined up to see our leader were turned back and told that our leader would no longer be visited without the express permission from the prison authorities/DSS. Recall that they had earlier introduced a very obnoxious and highly restricted systeme of collecting data of people you visits him thereby continually violating the right to privacy of the Biafran people. The siege is now effectively perfected and the ultimate assassination plot has reached it crescendo and now assumed a more dangerous trend with the outright isolation of our leader from friends and family and indeed the general public wish to convey to him their messages of goodwill.
We, the Indigenous People of Biafra, hereby, alert the international Community and the world at large that if anything happens to our leader, the British government, Muhammadu Buhari and all the moles in IPOB must be held accountable. IPOB family members are by this further put on alert to look inwards into what is happening within IPOB as there are impostors sponsored by the DSS to destabilise IPOB from within. To identify these people is very simple: they defy orders issued by the central command.They hold parallel meetings contrary to the instructions given.They continue to profess loyalty to the leader but they go about organising separate events other than the officially approved and organised ones. Brethren, you must dissociate yourselves from anybody or group of people conducting themselves in this manner.If you truly have Mazi Nnamdi Kanu as your leader, you must report these suspicious conducts in timely manner.Our leader in prison for voicing out in defence of our rights.Why then must any right-thinking humans think that they will take advantage of the situation to sabotage the efforts of our leader.We must rise up against these challenges now and subsequently. this because any injustice to one is an injustice to all.
Uche Mefor
[Deputy Leader, Indigenous People of Biafra]
