Police To IPOB Members: Don’t Go Near Nnamdi Kanu Parents’ Burial

The Nigeria Police has again warned members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to stay away from the burial of the parents of Nnamdi Kanu.

Kanu’s mother, Sally, and father, Eze Israel Kanu, died in August and December 2019, respectively.

On Tuesday, the Police stated that it was only against an IPOB gathering and would not disrupt the burial.

The command Public Relations Officer, SP Geoffrey Ogbonna, in a statement said “he (Okon) has the good intention to provide security for lives and property of the people during the burial.

Ogbonna noted that the command heard “that miscreants disguising as IPOB members intend to hijack the burial, in solidarity with its leader.”

The spokesman warned IPOB “to steer clear from the environment”, saying that the command “will not fold its arms and watch their unlawful activities.”
