The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has alleged plans by some politicians in the South East to abduct its members in the Diaspora.
A statement by its spokesperson, Emma Powerful, said the politicians were planning the same plot that saw its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, renditioned from Kenya to Nigeria.
Powerful bemoaned a situation where some politicians from the South East would be part of the plans by Federal Government to kidnap IPOB leaders from their resident countries and rendition them to Nigeria.
He said: “Kenya and Nigeria are yet to recover from the political and economic effects of their evil collusion in the kidnap and extraordinary rendition of our leader from Kenya to Nigeria. Those who are part of this evil agenda should be ready for what will befall them. Any other country that colludes with the Nigeria government in any illegality against IPOB members should be ready to face IPOB in social resistance and legal battles.”
Powerful said its intelligence unit, the M-branch, which discovered the plot, also identified those behind it. He threatened that should any IPOB member be kidnaped, assasinated, or renditioned to Nigeria, the politicians and their families who were part of the agenda would not be spared.
“Enough of all the betrayal and wickedness on IPOB members who are paying the price of freedom for all of us. It shall be tit-for-tat against our sworn enemies. We are monitoring those who are part of this cowardice act to kidnap and bring back to Nigeria IPOB members. Both individuals and the countries that will participate in the illegality will have themselves to blame for what will happen. Enough is enough,” Powerful said.
