The younger brother of Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has met with him in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) in Abuja.

Kanu’s younger brother, Prince Emmanuel Kanu, after visiting the detained IPOB leader at the DSS headquarters in Abuja, said the DSS, contrary to past practices, allowed his brother access to the complete number of visitors approved by the court.

Our Reporters had reported that the family had raised the alarm against the non-compliance with court orders by the DSS on allowing Kanu access to his visitors including his family members.

Emmanuel however said that the IPOB leader directed him to caution Biafra agitators and security agents to be security conscious in the days ahead of the Supreme Court judgment on the suit between him and the Nigerian government.

He noted that the advice from Kanu came on the heels of the possibility of the fifth columnists trying to create scenes that might portray Kanu and IPOB as a violent group.

Emmanuel maintained that Kanu and IPOB believed in peaceful restoration of Biafra through non-violence, and should not be associated with anyone fomenting trouble in the South-East region and in Nigeria in general.

Emmanuel was quoted by Vanguard as saying, “I met with my brother today, and I want to commend the DSS for allowing the family full access to him unlike before.

“I have a message from my brother for all our people and also for security operatives. He asked me to tell everybody to be very watchful and careful because some bad elements might decide to be funny just to make things difficult for him as the Supreme Court judgment on his matter is coming up on December 15.

“He made it clear that he does not support violence and should not be associated with such. He also told security agents not to hide under any guise to cause confusion. Security agents have problems among themselves and can cause problem and blame it on IPOB. He said everybody should be careful.”
