Nnamdi Kanu
accuses Nigerian Army of trying to whisk away victims of the attack on
his residence from the Federal Medical Center, Umuahia.
A few hours after the
Nigerian military had allegedly attacked the residence of Nnamdi Kanu,
leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, he has narrated his own side
of the story regarding the incident, vehemently asserting that the
Nigerian Army had attacked his home in Afaraukwu Ibeku in Umuahia, Abia
State with the intention of ransacking it.
“I inquired to know what is happening after the siren of the military
van woke me from my sleep. I was told that the army was coming to my
house. I looked through the window of my bedroom towards the junction
which is less than a 100km from here (his home). I saw their armored
personnel carrier which drove past my house, turned around and came
back. The Nigerian military came to my village to intimidate and harass
innocent civilians who were unarmed. Their intention was to come and
ransack my family home.”“They started firing at people who were asking why they came to harass people who have done nothing to warrant such humiliation. They started firing indiscriminately. I was told there were casualties, I saw two people who were bleeding profusely. As it is the tradition of the Nigerian army, to carry the bodies of victims away, we prevented them from coming here to take the injured people.”
Kanu debunked the claim by the Police that those injured in the clash are being treated by the Police and further alleged that the military visited Federal Media Centre (FMC) where the three persons injured were receiving treatment to whisk them away.
“We are not fighting anybody and will remain peaceful people. Buratai and the Nigerian army are bringing war to us.”
