The family of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has confirmed that the handwritten letter displayed by Kanu’s Special Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor that ended sit-at-home in the South-East was actually written by Kanu.
The reaction trailed a comment by self-acclaimed disciple of Kanu, Simon Ekpa, saying the letter did not emanate from Kanu.
On Friday, Kanu’s Special Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor had addressed a world press conference in Enugu State where he displayed a handwritten letter from Kanu ending all sit-at-homes in the South-East.
But in a swift reaction, Simon Ekpa through his verified Twitter handle had said, “I call on all Biafrans to disregard the fake letter coming from DSS. We can’t take any order from the Islamic DSS and that is final. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu must be released and he must address Biafrans from Finland.”
However, Kanu’s younger brother, Prince Emma Kanu has confirmed that the letter actually emanated from the IPOB leader.
According to Tribune, Emma Kanu who visited Mazi Nnamdi Kanu at the DSS detention last week said, “Anybody doubting it is insane. I visited him last week and he has reiterated that several times. Nnamdi Kanu is not interested in killing or suffering people but in the freedom of his people. The letter is actually his handwriting and I can confirm it.”
