The Nigerian
Army has again raided the Abia home of the Nnamdi Kanu, leader of
the Indigenous People of Biafra.
According
to Kanu's younger brother, Prince Emmanuel Kanu, the soldiers invaded the
house on Sunday, October 8, claiming they were searching for 'technical items.'
He
said the army personnel eventually left the house with television sets,
generator and clothes.
Prince
Emmanuel called on the international community urge the Nigerian army to stop
the indiscriminate invasion of his brother's house and to disclose his
whereabouts.
The
desk officer of the military Operation Python Dance in Abia State confirmed
the raid.
The
officer, who did not give his name, said the raid was carried out following a
fresh intelligence report suggesting that arms were hidden in the house.
But
he denied Kanu's younger brother's claim that the soldiers took away household
appliances.
"The
things removed may be technical items…Somebody was arrested with weapon in the
compound."
The
military officer added that the operation was carried out by a joint team of
the army and other security agencies.
