Mr. Emmanuel Kanu, brother to the embattled leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu has revealed those behind the killings in the South-East.
POLITICS NIGERIA recalls that several high profile assassinations and kidnappings have occurred in the region over the past few months. A lot of the blame has largely been placed on the group and its militia arm, the Eastern Security Network but in a recent interview, disclosed that it was ‘igbo politicians’ behind the mayhem.
He told Roots TV: “The politicians are doing whatever they can to mess Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Whatever happens to him, they are all part of it. They are working hard that Nnamdi Kanu will not be released. Some of the South-East politicians, they are not truthful to the power that be in Abuja. They have portrayed Nnamdi Kanu as a threat. Nnamdi Kanu is only asking for three things majorly justice, equity and fairness.”
“You can’t achieve peace with guns and bullets. It’s impossible. Of course, dialogue is the best way out. We are Biafrans, you can’t take that away from us. Nnamdi Kanu is a face of agitation but the issues are germane. So what is playing out right now is that those who benefit from what was happening before are the ones selling wrong narratives about Nnamdi Kanu.”
“ESN (Eastern Security Network) is designed to remain in our bushes, to protect our farmlands and boundaries against the invading terrorists. That’s why ESN was established.”
