“Nobody Dares Attack Any Igbo Community while I am Around”, Nnamdi Kanu Reacts To Ebonyi Attack

By Suleiman Anyalewechi

The detained leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, on  Tuesday, February 4, 2025 expressed regret that some forces and antagonists of Ndigbo have capitalized on his incarceration to unleash terror on innocent citizens.

Kanu’s lamentation is coming against the backdrop of the gruesome attack on Amegu Nkalaha Community in Ishielu Local Council of Ebonyi state last Sunday.

The dawn attack, allegedly, masterminded by some suspected Fulani herdsmen, left in its trail ten persons dead and many residential buildings razed.

Writing on his official site, Kanu’s Lead Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, noted that  during his  routine meeting with his legal  team, Kanu, while reacting to the Sunday Ebonyi massacre, lamented that there have been series of coordinated attacks on  Igbo land owing to his absence.

According to him, nobody or groups would have dared attack any Igbo community were he to be a free man.

Kanu also accused the Nigeria Military and other security agencies of complicity in the alleged orchestrated attacks on South East communities .

” During our visitation with Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu yesterday, (Monday February 2025), he lamented that enemies of the Igbo race have taken advantage of his illegal detention to unleash coordinated attacks on defenceless villages.

“Because, had he been a free man, no entity would have dared carry out such an audacious attack against farming communities in Igbo land”, Ejimokor wrote .

It would be recalled that the leaders of Amegu Nkalaha community have questioned the neutrality  of Security Agencies, particularly the Military in last Sunday’s attack.

The affected community, apart from decrying the alleged dubious role of the military in the attack, also claimed that  security operatives seized their phones all in bid to prevent them from recording and circulating the horrendous incident.
