Biafra agitator, Ralph Uwazuruike, has accused fellow separatist figure Nnamdi Kanu of allegedly influencing violent activities involving Igbo youths while serving his prison sentence in Sokoto.

Uwazuruike claimed that Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, who is currently serving a life sentence over terrorism-related offences, continues to recruit young people from prison for violent operations, an action he said has resulted in the loss of many lives.

In a video shared on YouTube, the former separatist leader appealed to prominent Igbo leaders and the leadership of the pan-Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, to visit Sokoto and urge Kanu to discontinue any activities that could encourage violence among young people in the South-East.

He said: “I hate violence, and anyone who knows me will agree that I do not have anything to do with violence. How can someone who was sentenced to prison remain there and be recruiting our youth to go into violence?

“He has been sentenced, he should remain in prison and serve his jail term in peace and not recruiting more people into violence. Everyday, our young men are killed because they are being deceived into engaging in violence by Nnamdi Kanu, who is recruiting them from prison.

“I want to suggest that Igbo leaders and the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo should mobilize to Sokoto and give Nnamdi Kanu a stern warning to desist from recruiting our young men into violence that will end their lives.

“In the north, we hear things like repentant terrorists and bandits, and federal government spend money to reintegrate them into society, so why can’t we have repentant IPOB members here?

“Why can’t the people who have been in violence renounce it and come out and seek amnesty, so that the federal government can rehabilitate them? Why do they have to be initiated deeper and deeper into violence, instead of thinking a way of coming out and embracing amnesty and enjoying rehabilitation,” Uwazuruike lamented.

The comments by the founder of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, come amid recent videos circulating on social media in which masked individuals claiming allegiance to IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu allegedly announced plans for renewed violent activities in the South-East.

Several of the clips, reportedly recorded in undisclosed forest locations, show armed and hooded individuals chanting pro-Kanu songs while warning that fresh unrest could erupt in the region if their leader is not released.

Kanu recently announced changes within the Indigenous People of Biafra leadership structure, replacing some members of the Directorate of State, DOS, and appointing a new team from prison.

He was also reported to have introduced what he described as a “100-man-project,” although the specific responsibilities of the group have not been publicly clarified.
