“We are not going to disclose our security arrangements because they are many enemies who wish to destroy or destabilize every effort made for the successful burial of this father and mother of our leader.
“IPOB is on the ground and nothing will change our resolve to protect the environment.” Nnamdi Kanu stressed the resolve of the group to maintain a peaceful approach to their struggle for the actualization of Biafra republic.
“We are peaceful and will maintain it to the last point. But nobody should try IPOB,” he insisted.
