Ohanaeze Ndigbo disowns statement on Nnamdi Kanu

Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, has disowned a statement credited to it on the re-arrest and arraignment of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

Chief Alex Ogbonnia, the National Publicity Secretary of Ohanaeze, said the group is yet to make known its position.

He described those behind the fake statement as mischief makers, impostors and charlatans.

“The attention of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has been drawn to a publication currently circulating in the media suggesting that Ohanaeze has issued a statement regarding the alleged re-arrest and re-arraignment of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

“Ordinarily, we would have ignored the said press release, but silence in this circumstance would mean giving validity to such fallacy by the unsuspecting public.

“Ohanaeze Ndigbo led by Ambassador Professor George Obiozor has not issued any press statement on the matter.

“Ohanaeze Ndigbo as the apex Igbo cultural organisation does not issue public statements in a hurry,’’ he said.

The Ohanaeze spokesman noted that in the event of further breach of this warning, “Ohanaeze Ndigbo will be compelled to invoke the full weight of the law to deal with the offenders’’.

The group which issued the disclaimed statement also styles itself as Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide.

It said Kanu’s arrest will avert another civil war and bring peace to the south-east.

Its secretary, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, said the development will bring violent agitations in the south-east to an end.

He said Kanu’s refusal to listen to Igbo leaders’ advice led him to his present predicament.

The group advised the federal government to handle the IPOB leader’s case carefully in order to prevent violent revolts from his followers.

“The re-arrest of Nnamdi Kanu the leader of IPOB is the beginning of the end of violent agitations in southeastern Nigeria and a lesson to others that, deviation from the nonviolent agitations and wasting of the innocent blood of the Igbo youths contradicted what Igbos are known for, and self-determination should not be used for purposes of fortune and fame-seeking.”

“Nnamdi Kanu’s refusal to adhere to the advice of Igbo leaders, Elders, and Political leaders is the outcome of what had befallen him. He made a lot of enemies especially those that would have saved him and Federal Government will never lose grip on him again.

“We don’t think that any Igbo leader will stick out his/her neck for him, his re-arrest will eventually bring peace and stability to the region and averted another civil war that was raging on”.

Gheng ghen
I know it will come to this jamboree .

But wait ooo, what actually happened with journalism in Nigeria?
A popular news outlet, not a hungry blogger, reported the alleged fake press release here on nairaland.

https://nairaland.sitesunblocked.org/6626576/ohanaeze-reacts-nnamdi-kanus-arrest

Make I just shut up sha, this one fit turn fake tommorow

They would say one thing deny it then say it again.

The cycle continues.

We are aware that the initial statement was from the Fulani terrorists' coven concorted to suit their narrative & widest imagination.
No need for further explanation.

IPOB evolved from lions to chickens in two weeks

All the media in Nigeria are compromised.
No atom of truth in there reports.
I laugh at people who say MNK ordered hit at security operatives, until you provide solid evidence, you ain't making any sense!

Meanwhile, some idiot is acting as a spokesperson to bandits, granting media interviews here and there without being questioned; and another a minister.

Mbaka was paid a visit by the DSS, fortunately, he wasn't around. Why can't the same be done to that banditry sympathiser?

Think south, think!!

Good to know the previous report is hoax. I hope they stay solid behind Nnamdi Kanu.

Nairaland is number one!

I was ashamed of malicious news hitting front page regarding Nnamdi Kanu’s issue

Someone will fabricate nonsense and post, Nairaland will push it without proper veracity and authentication even the so called professional media’s outlets that styled themselves professionals (Not me) because nothing professional about them

How many countries did they mention that they arrested him, even someone said he was caught with a prostitute

Boom Nairaland picked it and published

Is this not gutter journalism?

I am ashamed..Western countries will be very very ashamed of us

Everything seems to be abnormal

Na so
A combination of kanu+ ikonso+ dragon could not defeat d zoo. Na now wey Dem done catch kanu and kill d remaining idiots dat ipob com de run mouth.
Una go understand d true meaning of federal government. Make any idiot wey done taya 4 him life comot protest anything first

The ohaneze group is no more reliable because you will say one thing, you will deny it and at the same time repeat what you are denying, we can't even understand this group indeed. Be informed Nnamdi KANU is not a terrorist so be careful with your statements on him.

You don't understand what your mouth is even talking

I knew a sociocultural organisation like Ohaneze will not stop so low to issue such a daft statement on a fluid issue like this.

I already know say they’ve learnt their lessons .. they will their own.

... that’s the Nigeria politics

If Buhari fit herdsmen . .. and build refinery roads for his brothers in Niger..

And Yoruba massive for IGBOHO.. it will be a shame ... if they don’t Kanu

Even AREWa won’t take em serious..

Believe eastern governors are regretting that hasty step the took on IPOB

Everything is a joke to them

Later they will be shouting protest! What other way in this regime can one protest than to use your voice online!

If the Federal government gets away with everything then this country is in a bigger mess!

The 3 arms of government of Nigeria are now one - the executive or do you still hear from others

Hisbah now bans mannequin in a secular state all because it's against Islam, and they ALL see nothing wrong about these dangerous trends only to dish and laugh about fake news

When e go hit them like tsunami, I pray that I and many other meaningful Nigerians will not be affected. Amen!

Damnnn niggar
Isoright....
Whichever way.....still Kanu don't know what he has put his hand into

The rate of recanting statements is very high...
Even minister of information Lai Mohammed, presidency, everyone..

To add salt to injury.. the journalism is almost dead... no investigation whatsoever.. everyone just wants the headline..

By the way, I disown this statement..

Some people are being carried away with the news of Kanu extradition..

Na just one of those news that will come and go, don't go down with the news..

Be cautious/conscious of your reactions regarding to this news

Terrible

Gone are the days of investigation journalism, nowadays our media just publish whatever.

The turn of events that will happen in the proceeding days/weeks/months regarding Nnamdi Kanu's arrest will leave many people confused. Many people that are currently against him will soon stand by him...

This I have seen!

Lols some people still dey para even when MNK dey detained

Hmmm, this issue will generate so much heat.

Interesting

Nnamdi formed his arrest, FG fell for it. You think he's that stupid to go to Kenya ? This must be hard for Pm because the case is above Nigeria now. Watch out and see. Ohanaeze changed their statement when they realized what's going on�

Pokin wey good na mama pale own, the one wey bad na mama own

We don’t know what to believe anymore

Factions.
