Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has spoken out against the recent killings and violence in the south-east region.
Gatekeepers News reports that Kanu, while speaking to journalists at a federal high court in Abuja on Wednesday, condemned the actions of those enforcing the sit-at-home directive, stating that they are not members of IPOB.
He also denounced the recent killing of soldiers in Abia state, which occurred on May 30.
“I condemn all of the killings in their entirety,” Kanu said.
“IPOB was founded on non-violent principles, and we maintain that to this day. Some of these soldiers are our people, and their families are now in mourning. I don’t want anybody to die; we are fighting for freedom. We want people to be free.”
Kanu is currently standing trial on a seven-count charge of treasonable felony, brought against him by the federal government.
