The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu has said to have fled to London through Malaysia.
Making the revelation is the former Governor of Abia State, Dr. Orji Uzor Kanu.
The former Governor in an interview with the Punch Newspaper said Nnamdi Kanu is neither in the custody of the Nigerian Military nor killed by them as claimed by some IPOB members and other pro-Biafra apologists.
When Kalu was asked on the whereabouts of Kanu, Here is his response as excerpted from Punch Newspaper:
IPOB members are saying that the soldiers took Nnamdi Kanu and his parents away while the military authorities are denying it. As an Igbo leader, what is the position of things?
"Kanu was not taken away by the military. Kanu went to Malaysia from where he travelled to the United Kingdom. Nnamdi Kanu is in London right now as we speak. He was not arrested by anybody. He left the country on his own. One of his relations has spoken to me and explained everything because I wanted to see him and talk to him wherever he was and see how I could meet some Federal Government officials on his issue. I also wanted to see ways of talking to the President about him, and find common ground but his family told me that he has left the country, unless they are lying to me. I believe, whether he had left the country or not, he is not with the military because I asked the Commander of the 14 Brigade, Brig.-Gen. A.K Ibrahim, who is a very fine and good soldier, well educated and dedicated, and he told me that they don’t know his whereabouts and I am sure, the Department of State Services have the same information. I also visited the commissioner of police and he said he didn’t know his whereabouts and that they are also looking for him."
