Stay Away From Your Parents’ Burial, Igbo Group Tells Nnamdi Kanu

An Igbo socio-political organization, Imeobi Igbo Forum, yesterday urged the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu to stay away from the burial venue of his parents to avoid being seen by those after him. His Royal Highness, late Eze Israel Okwu Kanu of Afaraukwu community, Umuahia, in Abia State and wife, late Ugoeze Sally Nmeme Okwu Kanu, parents of the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu would be buried on 14th February 2020  at their home town.

Addressing newsmen in Onitsha, Anambra State, the national chairman of the group, Chief Mike Ikegulu-Onugha, stated that, “Kanu should steer clear of the burial arena until all the issues against him are resolved.” “The dead must be buried whether Nnamdi is around or not. If he comes home, it is an opportunity for those who are looking for him to get him.

“We should not wait until he returns before the dead are buried. Left for me, the government of the federation should allow him to come and bury his parents. I wish he will come and bury his parents the way I did mine. “However, rather than come and get involved in all sorts of legalities and military things and all sorts of issues, it is better for him to keep off. “The federal government should forgive a freedom fighter who is asking for a democratic/judicial means of independence. The president should pardon him to come back” he said.
