The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has stated that it has evidence of the “dirty deal” struck between the Nigerian Government and Kenya before the arrest and extradition of its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
IPOB stated that it has undeniable evidence of how President Uhuru Kenyatta betrayed Kanu and tried to cover up their tracks.
Spokesman of the group, Emma Powerful disclosed this while reacting to the claim by the Kenyan Ambassador to Nigeria, Wilfred Machage that his country has nothing to do in the arrest and extradition of the IPOB leader.
Powerful alleged that Kenyan security forces abducted Nnamdi Kanu at the Nairobi International Airport and tortured him for eight days.
He stressed that attempts to cover up or deny what really happened is already late as its intelligence gathering has revealed all those involved in this heinous crime.
The statement partly read: “The attention of the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by our great leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has been drawn to the lame denial by the Kenyan Ambassador to Nigeria, Wilfred Machage, of Kenya’s involvement in the criminal abduction of our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
“This denial is another smart but belated attempt to cover up their atrocity but unfortunately for them, we already have incontrovertible evidence of how the dirty deal between Nigeria and Kenya was struck. Our intelligence gathering has revealed all those involved in this heinous crime.
“The fact remains that Kenyan security forces abducted our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu at the Nairobi International Airport and tortured him for eight days. Our Leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was travelling with a British passport.
“Contrary to claims by the Nigeria Government, our leader was not travelling with any Nigeria passport because he is not a Nigerian. He was born in Biafra and he has since publicly renounced any connections with Nigeria.”
