The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, is set to return to Nigeria for the burial of his parents on February 14, 2020.
Kanu, who has been away from the country following the invasion of his family home in Afaraukwu, Abia state by the Nigerian military, will be returning to observe the funeral rites.
It will be recalled that Kanu’s father, Eze Israel Kanu, was the traditional ruler of the community until his demise.
The announcement was contained in a statement signed by the spokesman of the group, Emma Powerful.
“The burial of our leader’s parents burial will be 14th of February 2020.”
“We are not going to disclose our security arrangements because they are much enemies who wish to destroy or destabilize every effort made for the successful burial of the father and mother of our leader”
“IPOB is on ground and nothing will change our resolve to protect the environment. We are peaceful and will maintain it to last point. But nobody should try IPOB,” the statement read.
