Nnamdi Kanu’s family demands return of property taken away by Army

Nnamdi Kanu’s family has called on the Nigerian Army to return the property its personnel carted away from their home at Afaraukwu Ibeku, Umuahia, Abia State.

Soldiers, who were on a special operation in the South East code-named Python Dance 11, in collaboration with policemen from Abia State command, on September 14 and October 8, raided the home of the IPOB leader and allegedly carted away household properties.

Some of the items the family alleged were carted away included television sets, generating sets and two boxes filled with wrapper, belonging to the matriarch of the family, among other items

The army and police spokespersons had denied the allegation, stating: “We were there to search for weapons, no household items were removed from Kanu’s home.”

However, yesterday, Kanu’s family maintained her ground that the invading soldiers and policemen carted away their personal belongings and demanded they be returned.

Spokesman of the family, Prince Emmanuel Kanu, Nnamdi Kanu’s younger brother told newsmen that what was disturbing the family most was the boxes of wrapper belonging to their mother, which the soldiers made away with.

According to Prince Emmanuel, the soldiers also desecrated their father’s palace by ransacking and taking every available thing that represents Igbo culture.
