Recall that Kanu had in a statement on Thursday alleged that his group knows where the President’s presidential jet is and will never allow him to leave Japan.

“We smell blood and are closing in for the kill. Jubril-Buhari is encircled and trapped by IPOB in his hideout in a Yokohama hotel. There is no escape for him. We know where his presidential jet is and will never allow him to leave Japan. Even if they try to smuggle him out by hiding him in a diplomatic bag, we shall get hold of him,” Kanu had said.
