Nobody Raided IPOB Leader Kanu’s House, He’s Not In Our Custody – DHQ

The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) yesterday insisted that the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, is not presently under its custody amid growing concerns about his whereabouts.

Some top sources in the Nigerian Army had previously stated that the embattled IPOB was not in military custody.

This is just after the pro-Biafra group had declared its leader missing even as it called on the International Community to prevail on the Federal Government to produce him.

However, while speaking with journalists in Abuja, the Director of Defence Information, Major General John Enenche explained that the military was not holding Kanu and that it was not the responsibility of DHQ to declare him wanted.

He said: “Nobody raided Kanu’s home; not from the information I got, I was watching it live, I was monitoring it live and speaking with them (soldiers) on the ground.

“The people that came out from there (Kanu’s house) that I saw were the Biafra Security Service and Biafra National Guard. I think I later confirmed that there was nothing to actually justify the roadblocks mounted by IPOB. I saw the militancy, nobody told me and I saw the action there. We are still investigating.”

Enenche contended that it was premature to assume that the Abuja Federal High Court would hold the military accountable for the disappearance of Kanu, stressing that there was no need to jump the gun.

On the alleged proscription of IPOB by the military, Enenche said: “The military did not proscribe IPOB. Due process was followed. The job of the military is to diagnose security issues and warn the public of consequences and that is part of our media operations.

“We did our media operations very well, otherwise, that weekend would have been the longest weekend in this country and we were also very careful choosing our words; we know the law very well.

“People had mindset and they were in a hurry to attack the military because of their mindset. Because of that, it is a pity to say that some people lost their reputation.”
