Nnamdi Kanu Issues Warning Over 200 Soldiers Allegedly Deployed To Nsukka/Ebonyi

Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has alleged that the Nigerian Army has deployed over 200 soldiers to Nsukka and Ebonyi State.

The pro-Biafra activist made this allegation in a post on his Twitter page on Sunday night. According to him, the soldiers stormed the state in civilian Hiace buses & an Army vehicle mounted with a machine gun.

The IPOB leader warned that it would be the ‘last’ operation of the soldiers if they are in the state to attack and kill Igbo people.

Nnamdi Kanu wrote: “RED ALERT: Our Intels indicate that about 200 soldiers are en route to Nsukka & Ebonyi in civilian Hiace buses and an Army vehicle mounted with a machine gun.

“If they’re going there to confront killer herdsmen, that’s ok. But if it’s to massacre Biafrans, that will be their last.”

Meanwhile, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, (SAN) has condemned the recent attack in Ebonyi State, describing such acts as cowardly, wicked, and “very deeply distressing.”

Recall herdsmen recently attacked the Egedegede community in Ishielu Local Government Area of the State, whisking women and destroying properties.

Said the Vice President: “let me assure you that we will seek justice on behalf of those who have died not just because they are Nigerians, but because they are human beings and they deserve justice.

“Anybody who watches another person killed next to him and does not feel angry and pained, and doesn’t feel the person deserves justice must answer to God ultimately. So, don’t be under any illusion, we will make sure, so long as it lies within our power, that we will seek justice and get justice.

“Which is why I will urge you, as you have done, and you have done the right thing in my view – you have peacefully presented the case, you have very peacefully conducted yourselves, reported to the authorities, and sought the right support from the government.

“It is up to the government to provide the best that they can. But we must be careful also not to seek revenge because we don’t know where it will end.”

Assuring the people of improved security in the affected areas, the Vice President stated that government will beef up the security in the communities to forestall a reoccurrence.
