There
has been controversy over the whereabouts of the IPOB leader who was last seen
in public in September 2017 before the military launched Operation Python Dance
ll apparently to quell the agitation for the breakaway of south-eastern
Nigeria.
Since
the military raided his home in Aba, Abia state, there has been speculation
that he was arrested and might have been killed.
At
some point, Orji Uzor Kalu, former governor of Abia state, said Kanu was in
London.
His
court trial for treason has stalled and Enyinnaya Abaribe, the senator who
served as Kanu’s surety when he was granted bail after spending 18 months in
detention, has sought to be discharged from the obligation after his
disappearance.
However,
security sources have informed TheCable that Kanu was ferried to the Niger
Delta creeks by militants at the height of Python Dance II, from where he found
his way to Ghana by sea. The report said Kanu is regularly seen at Kenzo Bar
and IBG saloon in Accra, disguised in fez cap and usually in company of his wife,
Uchechi. Kanu is said to live at an area called Cantonment, also in Accra, at
an estate called “Arabella”. He regularly patronises suya joints in remote
parts of the city, according to the sources. If confirmed, this will lay to
rest speculations on the fate of the IPOB leader. His brother once asked the
military to release his dead body if he had been killed.
