Shocker! Nnamdi Kanu Reveals The Top Officials Who Helped Him Flee The Country

NNAMDI Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has revealed how he escaped during the military clamp down on the secessionist group.
In an   interview with Israeli TV Channel 1, Kanu said he was “smuggled out” of the country with the help of relatives. Nnamdi Kanu : I never threatened Israel – Lai Mohammed IPOB was the target of a Nigerian army operation code-named Operation Python Dance, launched in the south-east

Kanu went out of public glare until two weeks ago when a  video of him in Israel resurfaced on social media. In the interview, Kanu alleged that 28 persons were killed during the army operation which was largely felt around his father’s residence in Umuahia, Abia state. “When I came out (of prison), I continued to preach to my people. I continued to practise my Jewish religion,” he said.

“And one day, the Nigerian army came to my house to kill me. They killed 28 people in their attempt to kill me. “My people and some top officials evacuated me before they came to my bedroom. They took me away and smuggled me out of Nigeria. I needed some time to recover  which I did and then, had to make my way to Israel.”

The IPOB leader added that he feels “relieved” that he “managed to make it” to Israel, “the only place I feel safe in the world.” He said he could have gone back to England (where he had been for years) “but I still don’t feel safe in England. That is why I stayed back in Israel.” Related

Below is all you need to know about Nnamdi Kanu   Nwannekaenyi “Nnamdi” Kenny Okwu Kanu (born September 1967) is a British-Nigerian political activist. He is a leading member of one of several Biafran separatist organisations, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), which advocates a sovereign state for the Igbo speaking people of Nigeria as well as those from the south-south region of Nigeria.

Kanu is the director of a London-based radio station named; Radio Biafra. Kanu was arrested on treason charges in Lagos on 14 October 2015 and was detained in a Nigerian jail without trial for more than a year-and-a-half, despite various court orders that ruled for his release

When in court, Kanu appeared regularly wearing a Jewish prayer shawl and head covering. He said in court that he “believes in Judaism” and considers himself a Jew. On 28 April 2017 Kanu was released from prison on bail

On 19 October 2015, it was reported that Nnamdi Kanu had been granted bail after a secret arraignment at Magistrate Court,Wuse 11. However, the bail seemed “controversial” and there were claims the DSS announced the bail only “to calm the angry people of Biafra”.

 Although the bail conditions were stringent some of which required the Certificate of Occupancy of a landed property within Abuja municipality, a level 16 officer in the Ministry, Kanu’s lawyer said they eventually met the requirements in full. However, “upon the issuance of the Form 36,the court ordeal went to execute the order but came back unsuccessful.

He was unable to produce the prisoner. The lawyer, Vincent Obetta, called the continued detention of the activist despite meeting his bail conditions “a clash between judiciary and executive” in a democratic Nigeria. According to Obetta, “I have not seen or heard any place where a court grants bail and the person is not released. Under UN and Africa charter, it is enshrined that once bail is granted, you release the person upon meeting the bail conditions. We are sliding to days of Decree 2 and 4 of 1984. This is pure Dictatorship.”
