The Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi
Nnamdi Kanu has threatened to wipe out former President Olusegun Obasanjo and
his household should he (Kanu) be killed.
Addressing elders and chieftains at his residence in Ibeku,
Umuahia, Abia State on Thursday, Kanu said his organization would kill Obasanjo
if he attempts to harm him.
Kanu’s threat came after former President Obasanjo commented
that Nigerians must do everything possible to stop the campaigning for the
secession of Biafra, a cause spearheaded by Kanu.
The former president made the comment on Tuesday while
speaking at the International Conference Centre in Abuja during the launch of
the biography of the late Brigadier Zakariya Maimalari.
He stressed that a failure to put an end to the Biafra
agitation could lead to a repeat of the 1966 coup and the other events that
eventually culminated in the civil war.
The Biafran agitator responded with a threat to the elder
statesman.
“I remember Obasanjo calling us names. They said we must
eliminate Kanu and for those words coming out from his mouth, he is going to
die,” Kanu declared.
“I told Obasanjo that I have given instructions to IPOB
should anything happen to me. Everything that comes from Obasanjo’s lineage
will die the same day at the same time. It is a standing instruction to IPOB.
“Wherever they are, we will kill them ourselves at the same
time, the same day, 12 noon, wherever we find them all over the world. I am not
like anything they have seen before,” Kanu boasted.
