The proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has pledged N1 million reward for information on the foreign travel plans of all the governors in the South East region and the chief of army staff, Lt. General Tukur Buratai.
The announcement meant the group has decided to escalate the attack against political leaders in the south east, following the shameful one on Senator Ike Ekweremadu, former deputy senate president in Nuremberg, Germany on Saturday.
The attack has been roundly condemned by the Nigerian government and Igbo leaders.
The fugitive Kanu on Saturday praised the attack against Ekweremadu and in a statement on Sunday, the spokesman of the group, Emma Powerful, said the attack was the beginning of a ‘revolution’ by the group, craving for the break-up of the south east region, from Nigeria.
In the broadcast monitored by his followers, Kanu also warned South East governors over the military exercise slated to begin tomorrow, saying that his group will go after any governor of a state, where any IPOB member is killed. He also extended the threat to the governor’s children staying abroad.
