The Nigerian Army has said the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has no means of livelihood.
The Army said the tool employed by Kanu to make people believe him was propaganda.
This was disclosed in Abuja on Thursday by the Director of Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Sani Usman, in his closing remarks at a two-day media conference on the military’s enhancement of human rights.
Usman described Kanu’s followers as people in a “one-chance vehicle.”
The spokesman of the Army equally said this demanding the whereabouts from the military should look in other directions, especially that of his lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor.
He said: “There was an allegation that somebody (Kanu) went into hiding.
“Now, I can’t remember the day, but in an interview on Channels TV, one of Nnamdi Kanu’s younger brothers said that he was in hiding and he knew where he was.
“And one lawyer came up that he has taken the Chief of Army Staff to court.
“Now, who gave you the brief?
“You said you do not know where he (Kanu) is.
“Now, who gave you the brief?
“And the media is asking us where is Nnamdi Kanu?
“Why not ask the man that said so.
“Who gave him the brief to take people to court when he does not know where the man is?
“…That is why those people following him have entered into a one-chance vehicle.
“This is somebody standing trial in a criminal case.
“Sometimes, whether we like it or not, we want to stand against the truth.
“But no matter how long, the truth will come to pass on October 17.
“This is an individual without a means of livelihood.
“I can speak eloquently.
“So what?
“If I can speak like him, I can also have my own group.
“That’s exactly what is happening.
“So, what is the essence of our education as a people?
“You know that somebody is in a criminal case, and you believe in him.”
