The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB has dismissed as false, the reported apology by the founder of Radio Biafra and leader of IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu to President Buhari and some other Nigerian leaders.
Leader of MASSOB, Mr Uchenna Madu said in a statement he issued on Wednesday that the story of Kanu's apology is totally false and a calculated attempt by agents of the Federal Government to discredit, disorganize and frustrate the agitation for actualization of the State of Biafra.
“The publication was totally false and should be ignored by the general public, no amount of intimidation, harassment, torture, killings, arrest and blackmail can make Kanu apologize for anything he said, nothing will ever make us to stop the agitation for the actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra,” he said.
The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on its part described as blatant lies, the claim that its incarcerated leader and founder of Radio Biafra, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu has recanted and apologized to President Muhammadu Buhari, former President Goodluck Jonathan and Igbo elders for his alleged uncomplimentary remarks and statements about them.
The IPOB in a statement signed by its National Coordinator, Mr. Chidiebere Onwudiwe and Media and Publicity Officer, Comrade Emma Powerful, and titled Nnamdi Kanu Never Apologized For His Release , said it totally dismissed the publication as “the machination of the Directorate of State Security, DSS to save it's face having been disgraced by the court with granting of bail to Kanu.
“DSS is not sincere, if they have respect for the constitution of Nigeria, they would have released Kanu as directed by the courts, instead, they are looking for new charges which they will use to jail him, but they will fail again, and they have discovered that they will not make any progress in their quest to jail Kanu, they are now looking for soft landing to chicken out of the case with the claim that Kanu is apologizing, a claim that does not hold water,” the statement said.
Urging the press to be mindful of false information from the DSS, the IPOB went further to say that “Kanu is not disturbed in any way for his long incarceration, his spirit is very high and he will be received like a hero he is, any day they are tired of holding him and decide to release him.
"Kanu is in detention for us, we are here for him. DSS should stop embarrassing itself with the false information they are churning out to the public. If they are honest in what they are claiming about Kanu’s apology, they should publish the copy of the said apology as an advert in the newspapers let the world see. If they say they culled it from the statement he wrote in DSS detention, how then did it become an apology to people?” they asked.
