Biafra: Help! Security Operatives Are Harassing Us – Kanu’s Family

Family of leader of the banned Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has alleged security operatives of harassing and oppressing them.

Kanu’s family, therefore, appealed to well-meaning Nigerians and the international community to call the security agents to order.

In a statement by the family’s spokesman, Prince Emmanuel Kanu, the operatives of the Department of State Security (DSS) have, in recently been perambulating  the Afara Ukwu country home of the Kanus.

Prince added that the security operatives had begun a 24-hour surveillance on their home.

He said the Abia State Police Command had commenced the erection of a security post close to the family residence, which he alleged was a plot to continue their harassment of members of the family, in the pretext of providing security in the area.

He described as unneeded, the security operatives activities in Afara Ukwu, stating that the vicinity is one of the most peaceful in Igbo land.

He enjoined the personnel to rather focus their strength and professional skills, if they had any, on restoring peace in 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.”
