Radio Biafra stunned its audience on Tuesday when the new
leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Ezenachukwu
Okwudili, went on air to reveal the whereabouts of the fugitive leader, Nnamdi
Kanu.
In a 6am broadcast monitored
in Abuja on the London-based shortwave radio station, Mr Okwudili said: “Those
who benefited from inciting young Igbo youth to violence and death, the time of
reckoning has come.
“We are putting an end to blood-shed while continuing with
our struggle. Kanu has fled to London using his British passport and he is
hiding after our successful takeover of the Radio and IPOB Leadership.
“Those who live by the sword know the final judgment,
therefore people like Uche Mefor and his brother Mr Law Mefor along with Emma
Powerful, should know that like the Robert Mugabe era, the Nnamdi Kanu era has
come to an end. The time when rabble-rousers loot IPOB treasury, share it with
their family and friends has come and gone”.
The radio broadcast in particular alleged that Law Mefor, the
brother of Uche Mefor (Mr Kanu’s former deputy) was collecting money from Igbo
traders and businessmen as treasurer of IPOB and converting it to personal use.
“Money collected so far is in excess of 300 million Naira and
we are still counting as information about contributors continue to trickle
in”.
The radio station, in a disclaimer announcement, also dismissed
them and asked the public “not to have any monetary dealings with them on
matters pertaining to IPOB, an ideologically focused, democratic, accountable,
and truly non-violent organization”.
The broadcast made in both Igbo and English ended by inviting
both members and the general public to tune Radio Biafra every morning on “7240
KHZ, 41 meter-band, short wave and at 9 PM on 11530 KHZ
on 25 meter band.
