Former governor of Abia State, Orji Uzor Kalu has said leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu is currently in London.
Kalu revealed this in an interview he granted Sunday Punch, adding that he does not know about the whereabouts of Nnamdi Kanu’s parents.
He said contrary to what has been fed to the public so far, the military did not take Kanu and his parents away.
Orji Uzor Kalu told Sunday Punch: “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, Brigadier General 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.”
On the whereabouts of Kanu’s parents, Kalu told Sunday Punch:
“I don’t know. “I visited them in December last year and I was not impressed with the discussion I had with the father and the mother because I expected them to have acted better. “Since then, I have not visited them. “I feel that they have not impressed me because they ignored my advice to them to talk to their son on the need to stay at home and avoid public outings. I said his people can continue to carry their flags around but that they should not disturb anybody again. “They have a right to express themselves but that such rights should be within the limits of our constitution. They have the right to carry Biafran flags but they should do so within the limits of the constitution. Once your activities are within the limits of the law, you are in order. “You cannot carry Biafra flags and be stopping vehicles and smashing their windscreens. “You cannot carry Biafra (flags) and be molesting young girls, you also cannot carry Biafra (flags) and be assembling young men every day. “These are people who have no job and after doing that, they will go and engage in kidnapping or they will go and do armed robbery while some will go and do other things to make money. “Hunger is a very terrible thing. “The traders in the market have warned them to stop the nonsense they are doing. Why should you be extorting money from people in the name of Biafra agitation? “They are extorting money from people in the market against their will. “If the federal and state governments continue to watch and allow all these things to continue, there will be chaos in the state. If Kanu had not proved stubborn but listened to advice and kept to the rules of the court, we won’t be where we are now.”

To be Nelson Mandela no be easy thing na.. almost 30 yrs for jail no be beans. In reality,one week for police lock up sef,no be beans. At this stage only south eastern politicians can bring biafra to reality but they are not interested. They prefer the money they are looting constantly to the unknown.

Orji Kalu, when did all these laws from your mouth become part of Nigerian constitution? You see why the family could not trust you to know the whereabouts of NK. They know you are not to be trusted. You are part of the downfall of Nigeria, the youth u are accusing of commiting crimes, what did u do for them? IPOB did not teach them to commit crimes, IPOB did not deprive them of the opportunity to gainful employment, IPOB did not deprive them of opportunity for skill trade/training, IPOB did not deny them the human capital development. The Nigerian politiefians who loot our money are not IPOB members, all the govt officials who squander their loot in hotels with school girls are not IPOB members. The whole system/country is corrupt, so u cannot single out IPOB; because, the IPOB members are still part of the decayed and corrupty society of NIgeria.
