The family of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has confirmed the authenticity of the handwritten letter that called off the “sit-at-home” order in the South East, displayed by Kanu’s Special Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor.
This was as the self-styled Prime Minister of Biafra, Simon Ekpa has declared that the letter did not emanate from Kanu.

On Friday, Kanu’s Special Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor had addressed a world press conference where he displayed a handwritten letter from Kanu ending all sit-at-homes in the southeast.
But in a swift reaction, Simon Ekpa through his verified Twitter handle said, “Our attention has been drawn to the fake letter from the pit of hell being paraded by Nigeria media claiming that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu wrote a letter.
“It is not only a joke but an insult taking too far that the leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra is being misrepresented in this way.

“As the Prime Minister of Biafra under the leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, i call on all Biafrans to disregard the fake letter coming from DSS. We can’t take any order from the Islamic DSS and that is final.
“Mazi Nnamdi Kanu must be released and he must address Biafrans from Finland.
“That is the condition of the Prime Minister of Biafra and the Biafra Republic Government In Exile”.
However, Kanu’s younger brother, Prince Emma Kanu has confirmed that the letter actually emanated from the IPOB leader.
Emma Kanu who visited Mazi Nnamdi Kanu at the DSS detention last week said, “Anybody doubting it is insane.
“I visited him last week and he has re-iterated that several times. Nnamdi Kanu is not interested in killing or suffering people but in the freedom of his people. The letter is actually his handwriting and I can confirm it.
