The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Maazi Nnamdi Kanu has taken to social media to debunk the recent report of killing of herders in South Eastern part of Nigeria.
Media outlet Daily Trust, reported on Thursday April 29, that about 19 Fulani herders were killed in a village in Anambra State by suspected members of the Indigenous People of Biafra.
Although Daily Trust claims that these people were killed by IPOB, but there weren’t enough proof to back up their claims.
Nnamdi Kanu pointed out while reacting to the news, that nothing of that nature occurred in the land, instead it was plot to instigate genocide against “Biafrans” in the Northern part of Nigeria.
He wrote:
“My attention has been drawn to series of FALSE news of killing of herders in Biafraland published by Daily Trust (@daily_trust), the latest being today, April 29. The intention is to instigate a GENOCIDE against Biafrans in the North but it shall FAIL. This is not 1967.”
