Governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano has denied funding and involvement in the arrest of the leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from Kenya to Nigeria.
The governor, who refuted these claims in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, James Eze said, he had no hand in the abduction of Nnamdi Kanu.
The statement read, “Our attention has been drawn to a story in Saharareporters.com alleging that the Governor of Anambra State, His Excellency, Chief Willie Obiano was involved in the plot to kidnap and repatriate Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) from Kenya to Nigeria.”
“The general public is enjoined to disregard that story because it is totally false without the tiniest grain of truth. The governor of Anambra State had no hand in any plot against Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.”
“It should be crystal clear to anyone that the Federal Government of Nigeria headed by Muhammadu Buhari as the President and Commander in Chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces, does not need the assistance of a governor who has no control over any security and intelligence architecture to do whatever it wants to do.”
“The report is, therefore, a deliberate act of mischief that should be ignored by the general public.”
Recall that the Indigenous People of Biafra had said that Governors of River state, Nyesom Wike and Willie Obiano of Anambra State had funded the abduction and repatriation of its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
