We Never Arrested IPOB Members During Nnamdi Kanu’s Parents’ Burial – Abia Police

The Abia State Police command has denied allegation that it arrested two members of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) during the burial of Eze Israel Okwu Kanu and his wife, parents of Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB leader.

The Commissioner of Police in Abia, CP E. Ene Okon said there is no truth in such, maintaining that there was no indication that the two people arrested in Umuahia during the burial last week were members of IPOB.

The commissioner alleged that the two people arrested by the command were armed with pistol and other dangerous weapons.

In an interview with ABN TV on Monday, He said “The police only arrested two persons and it was not even near Afara, it was down there, those two persons were seen with guns, weapon two of them with pistol and everything, and they did not wear anycloth like IPOB,no nothing, nothing to show of IPOB and Emmanuel Kanu said yes he heard that, those are not IPOB members.

“So in essence police did not arrest anybody IPOB, because there through-out we did not know who was IPOB, No body wore IPOB uniform, No body carry BIAFRA flag, no body carry IPOB signal, all that we know they were mourners and we were just standing. What ever they were doing their thing, police were there full and they were doing their thing, we never touched anybody, although some of them were dancing some were taking Indian herm, all these small, small boys, police was just laughing because the police did not want to do anything that will truncate the peace that we maintained. We did not arrest any IPOB member”
