IPOB are no criminals to be given amnesty – Kingsley Kanu
Kingsley ‘Kanunta’ Kanu, a brother to Nnamdi Kanu, on Tuesday rejected an Amnesty offer to the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
It could be recalled that the Governor of Anambra State, Charles Soludo, on Monday announced an amnesty for IPOB and other Biafran militants in Anambra State.
He made this known in a statement issued, shortly after a prayer session meant to end the controversial sit-at-home order originally imposed by IPOB.

Governor Soludo had said: “I have also offered amnesty to all our brothers in the various forests around us. Give us your guns and trust us to help you forge a meaningful living.”
But reacting to that offer, Kingsley stated that the armed wing of IPOB, Eastern Security Network (ESN), was set up to defend the Eastern region against some criminals, adding that “IPOB are no criminals to be given amnesty”.
“IPOB led by #MaziNnamdiKanu formed #ESN to defend Biafraland against herdsmen terrorists. Upon the rendition of #MNK, IPOB called for Monday #SitAtHome, which it has ended. IPOB supports Gov Soludo’s efforts to end criminality in SE, but IPOB are no criminals to be given amnesty,” Kanunta wrote on his Twitter handle.
