A dramatic warning has surfaced concerning the upcoming burial of Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah (Ebubechukwuuzo Nnewi), a prominent businessman and politician, scheduled for Friday, November 22, 2024. A man, whose identity remains undisclosed, has issued a public statement warning the people of Nnewi and the Anambra State Governor, Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, against allowing Ubah to be buried in Nnewi.
In a video sent to Anaedoonline.ng, the man alleges that Ifeanyi Ubah was instrumental in the controversial extradition of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), from Kenya. He claims that Ubah’s burial in Nnewi could trigger unrest and escalate tensions in the region, warning that the town could become a hotspot for violence akin to Orlu in Imo State and Orsumoghu in Anambra State, areas currently plagued by activities of the Eastern Security Network (ESN), the armed wing of IPOB.
Nnewi Set to Host Dignitaries for the Burial of Late Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah
In the video circulating online, the man emphatically stated; “Ifeanyi Ubah must not be buried in Nnewi. If this happens, Nnewi will become the new Orsumoghu, Orlu (a place overtaken by violence and chaos) Somalia. Biafra Liberation Army will come and live in Nnewi, all of you will abandone your business and runaway. Let him be buried outside the South East. He was used to extradite Nnamdi Kanu to Nigeria and he must face the consequences. If you go ahead and bury Ifeanyi Ubah in Nnewi, Biafra Liberation Army will come to Nnewi, remove him from the grave and bury him at the evil forest. I am a member of Biafra government, if Ifeanyi Ubah is buried in Nnewi, Simon Ekpa, Biafra Liberation Army will do everything to destroy Nnewi. The people of Nnewi must heed this warning, or face the consequences. Soludo be warned, Soludo be warned”
The speaker’s claim that Ubah was involved in Kanu’s extradition has stirred mixed reactions, with some dismissing the allegations as baseless while others express concern over potential violence.
As of now, neither the Anambra State Government nor Governor Soludo has officially responded to the warning. Security forces, however, are reportedly on high alert to ensure that the burial, planned to take place at Ubah’s family compound in Nnewi, proceeds without incident.
Residents of Nnewi have expressed fears of possible unrest, with many calling for increased security measures. A community leader, who preferred to remain anonymous, said:
“These threats are worrisome. We urge the government to act swiftly and ensure peace prevails. Nnewi has always been a peaceful town, and we do not want it to turn into another Orlu.”

Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah, a former senator and influential businessman, passed away recently under circumstances that have not been publicly disclosed. His role in regional and national politics has made him a polarizing figure, and the allegations linking him to Kanu’s extradition have further intensified public scrutiny, However, the Senator has in multiple interviews said he knew nothing about the extradition of Nnamdi Kanu from Kenya.
However, the Anambra State Police Command is expected to release a statement soon, outlining plans to secure Nnewi during the burial.
The situation remains tense as Nnewi and the South East await Friday’s events.
