Traditional leaders in Umuahia invoke bees, death, rain curses on kidnappers

Traditional rulers in Umuahia North LGA of Abia State have invoked death on kidnappers operating in any part of the local government.

The monarch made the invocation on December 24 during a special prayer session where they poured libation, broke kola nuts and alligator peppers and made declarations against bandits operating in Umuahia North.

Led by Eze Innocent Nwaigwe, the royal fathers proclaimed death upon any kidnapper terrorizing the indigenes of Umuahia North.

The traditional rulers also declared that the local government will witness a peaceful and protected atmosphere throughout the Christmas and New Year periods and beyond prayed for the safety of all indigenes of Umuahia North.

The kings who invoked bees to sting out any kidnapper hiding in any bush in Umuahia North, said the bandits would die or be apprehended live unless they stopped their evil activities.

The Umuahia North Monarchs also prayed for God’s protection and guidance upon Governor Alex Otti, saying that the present administration in Abia State has so far, performed well in security and other areas of leadership.

Speaking after the prayers, Eze Innocent Nwaigwe said the monarchs asked the gods to visit kidnappers with capital punishment unless they quit their evil ways.

Nobody’ll use Nnamdi Kanu’s name to commit crime if he’s released – IPOB replies Soludo

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Monday said nobody would hide under the name of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu to commit crimes in the South-East if he is released.

IPOB’s spokesman, Emma Powerful was reacting to remarks by Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State, that insecurity in the South-East might not end if Kanu is released.

Soludo had said those behind the insecurity in the South-East may not listen to Kanu if he’s released.

The governor noted that Kanu’s release might not end insecurity in the South-East because criminals had hijacked the Biafran struggle and were using Kanu’s name to carry out organized crime in the Southeast.

Reacting, Powerful lamented that Soludo seems to be pitching his tent with politicians against Kanu’s release.

In a statement he signed, Powerful said: “It has come to the attention of the noble family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) that His Excellency, Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo recently made a public utterance to the effect that the release of our leader Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu “may not” end insecurity in the South-East.

“With this statement, the governor appears to be pitching his tent firmly with those politicians who are against the release of our leader; which not only defies logic given the governor’s own previous antecedents in calling for his release, but is equally counter intuitive.

“If we are led to believe, as the governor inferred in his interview on Arise TV, that those allegedly perpetuating insecurity in our blessed land are doing so on the purpose that they want Kanu released, would it not make sense therefore to seek his release and in so doing, call the bluff of these misguided individuals or at very least deny them any cover or legitimacy.

“That is why the statement made by Gov. Soludo is capable of being misread and misunderstood as being in conflict with common sense.

“If criminals are hiding under the name of Kanu and IPOB to commit any offence, then common sense dictates that if Onyendu is released, nobody would hide under his name or that of IPOB to commit any crime or do anything untoward.

“Any criminal or criminals hiding under his name will be flushed out or be exposed and those operating in their own name will be driven out of our land. We thought that this approach was in line with the much touted non-kinetic initiative championed by the governor himself.

“Why then did the governor deviate and start sounding like a propagandist or spokesman of the Nigerian Army; that institution that is always looking for justification to kill or incarcerate yet more innocent Igbo young men and women.

“We must ask, is the governor unaware of the pathological hatred some Nigerian security agencies have towards the people of Biafra, especially those exercising their constitutional right to self determination.

“With the greatest respect, His Excellency was domiciled in Abuja at the peak of the killer herdsmen reign of terror in Igboland and entire east. So he was unable to grasp the magnitude of the problem at that time, the shame Igbo race had to endure and what it took IPOB through ESN to bring it to an end.
.”If the same person, Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu that brought to an end the full-scale invasion, slaughter and humiliation of the Igbo race at the hands of these killer herdsmen from the Sahel that were rampaging unchecked through our forests, farmlands and villages a few years back, the same Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will surely end insecurity in the South-East and beyond.”
