The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has disclosed plans of the Nigerian military to search hotels in Umuahia for top IPOB leaders as his parent’s burial date approaches.
He shared this information on his Twitter page telling his followers to be safe and avoid being kidnapped.
He wrote, “Be aware!
We received information that the Nigerian Army will launch surprise searches in hotels around Umuahia axis, they monitor most hotels hoping that top #IPOB servants may come in early before the burial date.
Stay safe & avoid being kidnapped.

Recall that Nnamdi Kanu’s father Eze I. O. Kanu who died last year will be buried on the 14th of February, 2020 at Afaraukwu Ibeku, Umuahia in Abia State.
There have been speculations that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will be there to bury his late parents but he has refuted the claim saying that he will not be attending.
Though the Ohanaeze group has called on the President Muhammadu Buhari to grant him presidential pardon to bury his parents. The plea has not been responded by the presidency as of the time of this report.
