The handwritten note by Nnamdi Kanu to Simon Ekpa has been confirmed as authentic by the spokesman for the Indigenous People of Biafra, Emma Powerful.
Kanu in the letter, asked Simon Ekpa to discontinue the sit-at-home exercise in the South-East with immediate effect.
Powerful said the clarification became necessary to make the message disassociating Kanu and IPOB from the “senseless” enforcement of the sit-at-home order.
He stated these in a statement made available to journalists, in Awka, on Saturday.
He added that the Kanu’s handwritten letter serves as the last warning to Simon Ekpa to desist from his incessant sit-at-home orders in the South-East.
Powerful said: “Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, in his wisdom, communicated the message to the infiltrators through the right channel and a source they should trust. That message in his handwriting serves as the last warning to perpetrators of the infamous sit-at-home.
“The note from our leader disassociating himself and IPOB from the infamous sit-at-homes is being distributed to all Nigeria security agencies, all foreign embassies in Abuja, and to the contractors of the infiltrators for their notice. We are IPOB, and we are wiser than the serpent.
“The claims that Kanu’s handwritten note is fake is part of their mischief to continue in their contract to blackmail IPOB and Kanu with the violent enforcement of the infamous sit-at-home orders used to terrorise our people.
“We understand that a power-drunk inconsequential kangaroo defacto government in exile will ignore the order for the fear of deflating his over-bloated ego.
“IPOB leadership initiated the Monday sit-at-home in protest of the abduction and rendition of our leader and to make sure that the Federal Government arraigned Kanu openly, in a public court where we could see him.
“But our leader instructed that it be suspended so that we don’t torture our people. In line with the principle of command and control, we obeyed, and the sit-at-home order was suspended.
“However, infiltrators who don’t believe in the principle of command and control, which is a core value of IPOB, ignored the order from our leader.
“These infiltrators working alongside the Nigeria government contracted agent provocateurs’ violent enforcement of reckless sit-at-homes has escalated insecurity in the South-East.”
He insisted that several messages had been sent by Kanu through his visitors at the DSS dungeon to the infiltrators to stop the reckless sit-at-home several times, all to no avail.
