Kingsley ‘Kanunta’ Kanu, a brother to Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on Monday dismissed reports that the outlawed group is responsible for the brutal murder of a patrol team of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC).
POLITICS NIGERIA recalls that the patrol team comprising of an officer, a driver, and two other staff were attacked by gunmen in Anambra State.
During the attack which occurred on Sunday afternoon along the Igbo-Uku-Uga route in the state, the assailants killed two personnel with one sustaining severe injuries.
The team was conducting routine patrol operations in the area when the armed men opened fire at them, killing two of the corps officers while another escaped into the bush.
Reacting to the mindless killings going on in the southeast region of Nigeria, Kanunta resorted to propaganda, blaming the FRSC attack on Finland-based separatist, Simon Ekpa.
“I want to inform @StateDept @UN @BruceFeinEsq @FCDOGovUK that the latest killings of @FRSCNigeria agents has nothing to do with #IPOB. #SimonEkpaGunmen (SEG) are responsible for these atrocities. #IPOB is committed to peace in Biafraland. @Ulkoministerio caution your citizen,” Kanunta wrote on his known Twitter handle.
