The
Minister of Information and culture
Alhaji Lai Mohammed has reacted to the recent video clip that resurfaced
showing the alleged kidnapped leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra by the
Nigerian Army praying in
Israel.According to the minister, “We Are Giving Israeli Government Days To
Deport Nnamdi Kanu Back To Nigeria
Or We Will Take A Harsh Action Against Them.
The leader of a pro-Biafran separatist group in
Nigeria was missing, prompting speculation as to his whereabouts on the eve of
his trial on treason charges.
Nnamdi Kanu, who heads the Indigenous People of
Biafra (IPOB) movement, has not been seen in public since troops were deployed
to the southeastern city of Umuahia last
year.
Kanu, who wants a separate state for the Igbo people who dominated
the country’s southeast, has been on bail since April and gone missing,
prompting speculation as to his whereabouts on the eve of his trial.
Nigeria Government officially declared IPOB a
“terrorist organisation” in mid-September after violent clashes between the
security forces and IPOB supporters. Members of the group were accused of
attacking military
checkpoints in Umuahia, which is the capital of Abia state.
