A former Governor of Abia State, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu, has revealed that the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, is in the United Kingdom.
Kalu revealed this in the interview in which he told Sunday Punch that Biafra as conceptualized by Kanu and IPOB cannot be achieved, Kalu said he does not know about the whereabouts of the parents of Kanu.
He said contrary to what has been fed to the public so far, the military did not take Kanu and his parents away.
He old Sunday Punch: “Kanu was not taken away by the military. Kanu went to Malaysia from where he travelled to the United Kingdom.
“Nnamdi Kanu is in London right now as we speak.
“He was not arrested by anybody.
“He left the country on his own.
“One of his relations has spoken to me and explained everything because I wanted to see him and talk to him wherever he was and see how I could meet some Federal Government officials on his issue.
“I also wanted to see ways of talking to the President about him, and find common ground but his family told me that he has left the country, unless they are lying to me.
“I believe, whether he had left the country or not, he is not with the military because I asked the Commander of the 14 Brigade, Brigadier General A.K Ibrahim, who is a very fine and good soldier, well educated and dedicated, and he told me that they don’t know his whereabouts and I am sure, the Department of State Services have the same information.
“I also visited the Commissioner of Police and he said he didn’t know his whereabouts and that they are also looking for him.”
On the whereabouts of Kanu’s parents, Kalu told Sunday Punch: “I don’t know.
“I visited them in December last year and I was not impressed with the discussion I had with the father and the mother because I expected them to have acted better.
“Since then, I have not visited them.
“I feel that they have not impressed me because they ignored my advice to them to talk to their son on the need to stay at home and avoid public outings.
