The Indigenous People of Biafra on Monday alleged that some top politicians were plotting to kill its leader, Nnamdi Kanu and other officers of the group. It said huge amount of money and political patronages had been offered to certain people to execute the plot. In a statement on Monday by the group’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, IPOB said any attack on Kanu would radicalise the Biafran struggle in a manner nobody could stop. The statement read in part: “A lot of people have been massacred in cold blood and others laid down their lives for Biafra freedom between 1967 and 1970 and during our peaceful protests and rallies in Biafra land while the Nigeria state and all these political errand boys and contractors did nothing to stop or condemn it . “But we promise them that any attack on Nnamdi Kanu or assassination attempt will radicalise the struggle for Biafra independence to the point which no one can contain.”
