Nnamdi Kanu attacks Nigeria police, calls them criminals

• IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, has warned group members to desist from paying bail fees to the Nigeria police
• Kanu accused the Nigeria Police Force of being a criminal organisation
• He threatens to disown any member of IPOB caught giving money to the police

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has warned members of the group to desist from giving out money to the Nigeria Police Force.

According to a report by Sahara Reporters, the IPOB leader accused the Nigeria Police Force of being a criminal organisation, out to extort members of his group.

He said: “Anybody in IPOB that gives money to the zoo police for their bail will be expelled from IPOB. The zoo police are using IPOB to make money because some people are not mentally tough enough to resist them until our dedicated legal team arrives to secure their release.

“The more we give these Hausa-Fulani illiterate, primitive parasites wearing zoo police uniform money, the more they keep raiding our homes to abduct us because they know some of us will pay.

“It is not the duty of IPOB family members to sustain illiterate, hungry and poorly paid zoo policemen. We are agitating for our freedom so there is no way we can be handing out our hard earned money to these Northern parasites and criminals in police uniforms like we committed any crime.

“The Nigeria Police Force is a criminal organization, run by criminals for the benefit of Northern Arewa criminals. All members and supporters should remain fearless before her enemy, Nigeria, even with guns pointed at them."

Meanwhile, it was earlier reported that a clash between members of the IPOB and some soldiers has thrown Umuahia, the Abia state capital in a state of confusion.

The Nation reports that the clash which occurred at the popular Isi Gate area shut down the city as business owners were forced to close their shops over fear of arrest or being caught up in the crisis.

Though details about what sparked the clash between the soldiers and the IPOB remains unclear, some sources claim the clash began after soldiers at a checkpoint around Isi Gate stopped a commercial tricycle operator and demanded that the driver should hand over to them the Biafra and IPOB insignia in his tricycle, but that the driver refused.
