Press Release

YET ANOTHER PLAN BY THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT TO ASSASSINATE MAZI NNAMDI KANU

We have been informed of another plan by the British Government to mid-wife the assassination of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). This time, they have concocted a document purportedly signed by 11 officers of IPOB in which these officers allegedly hired three persons at the price of ten million naira (=N=10 million) to assassinate Nnamdi Kanu. According to the information revealed to us by a British Embassy official who is sympathetic to the Biafran cause, the following persons were said to have been hired by the 11 officials of IPOB to kill Mazi Nnamdi Kanu;

1) MAGNUS ADEGBOYEGA (a retired army officer)

2) BERNARD URANTA (SSS operative)

3) IHUOMA C. MARY

We learned that these 11 officers of IPOB were chosen as decoys because of the rumours and propagandas that they were suspended/dismissed from IPOB by the Deputy Leader of IPOB for embezzling funds belonging to IPOB and using same funds to unilaterally open another radio station without authorization from IPOB leadership. After committing their heinous crime, the British Government plans to prop up lies that these 11 officers decided to eliminate the IPOB leader to cover up their tracks in the case of embezzlement and after that take over the organization.

For the avoidance of doubts and the records, the Directorate of State (DOS) of IPOB met on January 12, 2017 through a conference call on Skype platform. At that meeting, the DOS made a decision to open another radio station that will be broadcasting live from the Americas. Mr. Leonard Anemene was given the task of Project Manager for the new radio station, and it was agreed that the broadcast would be feeding into Radio Biafra London (RBL) which is the mother Radio station of IPOB under the leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

At no time was it agreed at the DOS meeting that the strategy would be to record a program from the new radio station and then upload to RBL for broadcasting at a later time, as is being peddled by destabilizing agents of the British Government. At the appropriate time, the recording of the deliberations of that meeting of January 12, 2017, plus other recorded Skype communications with several IPOB leaders involved in licensing and technical issues will be published for the public to listen to and make their conclusions. For now, we will refrain from making these recorded conversions public for obvious security and legal implications on some parties who attended that meeting and the licensing officer involved.

On the rumoured embezzlement of forty million naira (=N=40 million) belonging to IPOB, we are glad to announce that we have the complete bank statement of the account in question and for the period covered. This comprehensive bank statement will be made available to the public and sent to all newspaper houses in the world so that everyone will see the financial transactions and the names of those involved and their relationships to IPOB leadership where such exist. The bank statement would be published within the next one month unless the IPOB leadership advised on a delay.
In summary, we warn the British Government to end this continual plots to eliminate their citizen. Rather, the British Government should use their diplomatic connections to secure the unconditional release of our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Trying to use officers of IPOB as decoys to kill their citizen is reprehensible and must be condemned by all and sundry. We alert the world once more that these officers being roped-in by the British Government are innocent. Let the British Government be warned that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s resolve to restore his beloved nation of Biafra is unstoppable and irreversible. We know the British Government is working hard to stop Biafra restoration, hence we will not be surprised to hear from some of their collaborators, claiming to be in IPOB leadership and who will issue a disclaimer to this press statement or try to disown the undersigned.

We reiterate that restoring the sovereign nation of Biafra is a task that must be done and the leader of IPOB Nnamdi Kanu must not be harmed in any way, shape or form. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu must be released forthwith and albeit unconditionally.

Signed
Barrister Emma Nmezu
