The Nigerian Army has launched a manhunt for leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, barely 24 hours after the group’s proscription.
Kanu’s whereabouts are unknown since the proscription was announced.
The IPOB leader is on bail for alleged treason charges leveled against him.
The Nation reports that his bail sureties, might be asked by the security agencies to account for him.
Also, security agencies are investigating Kanu’s alleged foreign links.
Investigators are said to be analysing a video clip of Kanu and a Turkish citizen as part of the probe.
“Troops have been given a firm order to fish out and arrest the IPOB leader. As a prelude to it, the Defence Headquarters on Friday declared IPOB as a terrorist organisation.
“Intelligence has, however, revealed that Kanu might have gone underground. As I speak with you, troops have actually searched his house and he was not found there.Troops have a mandate to arrest him wherever he might be,” a source said.
Asked what if he is not found the source said: “We might follow legal process by holding his sureties responsible. These sureties will have to produce him.”
On the probe of Kanu’s alleged foreign links, another source said: “We are looking into the allegations of foreign support for Kanu. We are doing a profiling of his foreign contacts. We have some clues but we need to dig deeper.”

Look at the type of comments people that call themselves fellow citizens are making when there is turmoil in the nation. As much as people continue to remind some people that they are unreliable, untrustworthy and unworthy of friendship, the more their offsprings are picking up where their forefathers left the torches of hatred. Exactly what prompted the agitation for Biafra: no love, unprovoked hatred, lack of trust, envy, irrational degradation of ethnic lineage etc. Yet we want to force people to stay with us as one country? Heavens know we don't love each other, evidenced by all these mockeries as South East grapple with the sorrows and agony of unwarranted killings in its land. Thank you all the frenemies for your mockery of our plight, but remember, it may be another area's turn next. God is watching!! "A king may reign for his lifetime but the mantle of leadership will pass to another after his demise". "Tyranny and oppression may sustain for a while till a revolution withers it away". Igbos are crying for oppression and suppression today, but Almighty God will surely wipe out their tears in no distant time.

Funny, the zoo army has been in Umuahia for more than a week and they couldn't arrest a defenseless man and defenseless people. What has suddenly changed to prompt his search. Are you really saying whilst you surrounded his house he turned to a ghost and disappear. The army spokes person said that operation python dance 11 was to show force not to target any person. First the denied parking in front of Nnadi Kanu's house, second they denied breaking into his home and now they have started searching for him. I know the zoo is a lawless enclave but isn't the court that will void bail and authorize arrest or re-arrest. It is not called the zoo for nothing. If your zoo leaders lie to you Nnamdi Kanu never lies to anyone. If you have managed killing Nnamdi Kanu release his remains for burial. That does't change the course. The quest for Biafra still continues. 50 years ago you baboons said Biafra was dead. We are still here and progressing. Biafra for life.
