The family of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has confirmed the authenticity of a handwritten letter supposedly written by Kanu himself.
The letter, which demands for a halt to all “sit-at-home” protests in the southeast, was shown to the world during a press conference on Friday by Kanu’s Special Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor.
However, Simon Ekpa, who claims to be the Prime Minister of Biafra, has denied the assertion, claiming that the letter did not come from Kanu.

The family’s confirmation of the letter’s authenticity exacerbates the continuing disagreement within the IPOB leadership.
This occurs at a period of high tension for the group and the regions it represents, emphasizing the difficulties they face as they negotiate their collective response to Kanu’s imprisonment and the subsequent civil unrest.
The letter’s authentication by Kanu’s family adds some clarity to the uncertainty and dispute surrounding the IPOB’s leadership and future direction.
In response to the letter’s release, Simon Ekpa tweeted on his verified Twitter account, “Our attention has been drawn to the fake letter from the pit of hell being paraded by Nigeria media claiming that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu wrote a letter.

“It is not only a joke but an insult taking too far that the leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra is being misrepresented in this way.
“As the Prime Minister of Biafra under the leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, I call on all Biafrans to disregard the fake letter coming from DSS. We can’t take any order from the Islamic DSS and that is final.
“Mazi Nnamdi Kanu must be released and he must address Biafrans from Finland.
“That is the condition of the Prime Minister of Biafra and the Biafra Republic Government In Exile”.
However, Kanu’s younger brother, Prince Emma Kanu has confirmed that the letter actually emanated from the IPOB leader.
Emma Kanu who visited Kanu at the DSS detention last week said, “Anybody doubting it is insane.

“I visited him last week and he has re-iterated that several times. Nnamdi Kanu is not interested in killing or suffering people but in the freedom of his people. The letter is actually his handwriting and I can confirm it.
