Emmanuel Kanu, the younger brother of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), says the Biafra Republic would be achieved without any war.
The younger Kanu made this comment on Wednesday in Umuahia, Abia state, when he received in audience a team of investigators from Alliances for Africa (AfA), an African-led international non-governmental human rights, peace and sustainable development organisation with offices in the United Kingdom and Lagos, Nigeria.
The younger Kanu said that his brother has engaged in what he called high profile diplomatic talks with notable world leaders and governments across the globe on how to peacefully restore Biafra.
This online news platform understands AfA’s representatives visited Kanu’s family house which was attacked in September 2017, on a fact-finding mission.
Prince Kanu said important world leaders are now lending their full support to the Biafra struggles.
“The current diplomatic efforts by my brother on Biafra restoration are yielding positive results”, Kanu said.
Prince Kanu thanked the visiting investigative team for coming to see the level of destruction in his father’s compound following the attack by the military on September 14, 2017, and tasked them on the factual report, just as he expressed hope that the visit would help to secure more international sympathy over the Biafra cause.
The younger Kanu who was said to have conducted AfA team round the entire palace urged them to publish their findings “without fear or favour”.
“I feel very relieved by your visit today. I want the truth to be told so that the world will better understand the level of destruction in our house by the Nigerian military.
“Refuse to be bought over by the government and don’t compromise your findings”,Kanu was quoted as saying.
Asked if he expected a different result from the group’s visit considering the fact that many such groups had paid a similar visit to the palace, the younger Kanu said he expected a positive outcome.
“We keep hoping that one day the right group will come who will report the destruction here the way it is, and take the Biafra cause to the global platform where humanity will listen to our plights”, he said.
