Following speculations that Nnamdi Kanu, leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) was arrested by the Nigerian Army, sources from the army has however refuted the weird rumour.

Meanwhile, an authoritative source from the army headquarters said: “If you follow the trends of things, the army has not been talking about a proscribed group. If someone says he does not know where Kanu is, who gave him the authority to file a motion against the army?”

“We don’t want to be drawn into this propaganda. For goodness sake, if we have Kanu, of what use is it if we keep quiet? We have never been secretive. Nobody prompted us before we came out to talk about Egwu Eke II starting in the South-East. Nobody prompted us before we came out to say that despite all the pressures, we were not withdrawing the operation. The exercise is still ongoing.”
