Asari Dokubo accuses Nnamdi Kanu or ordering the assassination of cleric Prophet Nwoko

NIGER Delta militant leader Asari Dokubo has accused Indigenous People of Biafra (Ipob) leader Nnamdi Kanu of masterminding the recent murder of Prophet Anthony Nwoko in Enugu yesterday..

On Sunday evening, Prophet Nwoko, who was a close ally of Mr Kanu, was killed by unknown assailants at his apartment located on Ezebinugwu Street, in the Trans-Ekulu-Abakpa axis of Enugu. In response to the murder, Mr Dokubo has published a video in which he described Mr Kanu as being an opportunist and accused him of sending assassins to kill Prophet Nwoko.

Mr Dokubo said: “It is very sad that our struggle has come to the stage where Ipob and its leadership under Nnamdi Kanu will order the assassination and the murder of fellow Biafrans who disagree with them on the modalities of achieving our independence as a nation. It is so sad that the Kanu who cannot lift a spoon in defence of Biafrans following the killing and brutality visited on our people by the Nigerians occupying office will now turn against his followers to murder those who disagree with him.

“Nnamdi Kanu has opened a Pandora's Box and let out the demons of destruction and blood and it is the duty of all of us Biafrans to come together and lock, shame the box and to throw it in the deepest part of the ocean. Because this is very dangerous, somebody who cannot lift up a finger against our enemies, who can only run his mouth, is now ordering the killing of our people.

“We are expected to keep quiet but everybody knows that cleric Nwoko was killed by Nnamdi Kanu and his Ipob, I don’t know the cleric as I have only watched his videos and listened to him but I was told by some people who came to see me in my residence in Yenagoa about him.

"It is so so bad we never thought that one day our struggle will come to this very shameful stage. From the very beginning I have struggled to ignite and reconcile all shades of opinion because I believe that our nation should be a rainbow one with people of all beliefs who will congregate together in different opinion and colours and move our struggle to its destination.

"I never envisioned a Biafra that Biafrans will carry arms against their fellow citizens. Nnamdi Kanu is an opportunist who has come to cash in on the painful struggle and sacrifices that others have made.”
