The family of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the jailed Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has asked members of the public to disregard a voice note circulating on social media stating that the IPOB Leader has been poisoned.
Prince Emmanuel, Kanu’s younger brother, told our Correspondent that he and Kanu’s attorneys met with the IPOB Leader on Thursday at the Abuja headquarters of the Department of State Services, DSS, where he is now incarcerated.
He said his brother did not inform him that he had been poisoned when they last met on Thursday, but promised to find out the truth on Monday, January 30, when he stated he wanted to meet him again.
Kanu’s brother wondered how the story of the alleged poisoning began, and cautioned against fake news.
Prince Emmanuel urged Kanu’s followers, Biafrans and members of the public not to take laws into their hands but to remain calm as he hoped to see and hear from his brother again on Monday.
