foreign countries.
He blamed the death of over 600 of his members through ‘Operation Python
Dance’ on the leaders who he said allowed the desecration of Igbo
tradition and culture following the invasion of his father’s compound by
Federal troupe.
In a press statement issued Tuesday by the group’s Media and Publicity
Secretary, Emma Powerful titled: “Setting the Records Straight…..”
Kanu alleged that the interest of the Igbo politicians was his death,
that of IPOB, as well as the death of its dream of freedom for all.
He said the explanation became necessary following the Nuremberg
encounter in order to refresh memories, particularly of those “in the
habit of excusing intolerable evil and wickedness.”
The statement partly read, “These men instigated, financed and defended
a full-scale bloody military invasion of Biafraland; they tagged
Operation Python Dance that led to the torture and untimely death of
over 600 Biafrans, 28 of which fell in my compound.
“These men sanctioned the desecration of the home of an Igbo tradition
ruler by Fulani soldiers and did not care if my father HRM Eze Israel
Okwu Kanu and my mother, who were home with me during the unprovoked
invasion, is killed or not.
“In view of the Nuremberg encounter, it has become necessary for us to
refresh our memories lest it succumbs to confusion and deliberate
misinformation because most people, unlike we IPOB, are in the habit of
excusing intolerable evil and wickedness but we not.
“Every perpetrator of evil, every purveyor of iniquity, every merchant
of misery and every defender of injustice must and will be held to
account. We will not relent until justice is served.
“Those with a conscience can now understand the root cause of our anger
and why we won’t stop until they all pay dearly for their sins.”
