BIAFRA: Intersociety In Hot Soup as IPOB Berates Group Over False Allegations Against Kanu

In a display of childishness, some form of frustration and absolute disregard to professionalism, the leadership of International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety), in conjunction with Southeast Based Coalition of Human Rights Organisations (SBCHROs) has unfortunately fallen into a ditch and as a result soiled their reputation in an inept attempt to cast aspersions on the integrity of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
In a bid to discredit the leader of IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, who has maintained his "whiter than white and whiter than snow" profession in the struggle for Biafra restoration, the aforementioned dual (Intersociety & SBCHROs) have discredited themselves having spewed unsubstantiated gibberish against him(Nnamdi Kanu).
A reputable organization like theirs is expected to investigate rumours and allegations before making their position on that public.
News coming from an unreliable media like 247Ureports should not have been acted upon so quickly without making moves to ascertain the veracity of such claim. When such is done, it amounts to professional blunder.
In such unfounded gossip from 247Ureports, the dual(Intersociety & SBCHROs) said that Nnamdi Kanu received some gift items from the Biafra saboteur, Willie Obiano, current governor of Anambra state.
In their own words "Nnamdi Kanu was recently handed over a cash of $50,000 and two SUV cars by Governor Willie Obiano and the gifts were gladly accepted from the giver”
Intersociety and co posited that they went on further enquiry , and a dependable and authoritative source told them (the coalition) that “the acceptance of the gifts by Kanu from Governor Obiano was owing to the fact that Governor Obiano has been assisting Nnamdi Kanu’s father while Kanu was in prison”.
The exact insinuation deducible from such malicious report is that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and his family have been feasting on the blood of Biafrans secretly but camouflaging true Biafran agitators and emancipators of Jewish Biafrans.
Because for Nnamdi Kanu's family to have been supported financially by the same murderous Willie Obiano while Nnamdi Kanu was in prison is tantamount to Kanu feasting on the blood of those he is fighting to free.
Such description is apt for the likes of Ralph Lebeanya Uwazuruike who pre-arranges the arrests, detentions, and killings of his fellow activists for monetary rewards and has owned some plethora of cars, houses and hotels as a result.
I know people do not believe such lies peddled by Ikenna Ezenekwe of 247Ureports, but I fault the quick press release from a reputable organization like Intersociety and co. They said that they made further enquiry to ascertain the authenticity of the allegation but in such high-profile allegation, I and every reasonable person expected them to go beyond enquiry to investigations. They should have investigated thoroughly and if they found any evidence to substantiate such allegation, then they would make a press statement.
This goes to show that there may be more to this ill-conceived quick press release than what we can see.
Could it be that some jealous fellows amongst them are showcasing their displeasure over the popularity, fame, loyalty and respect Nnamdi Kanu commands?
Could it be the reason why, as many people and groups are visiting Nnamdi Kanu since he came back home, it has not been heard that Intersociety and co paid Kanu solidarity visit? Or do they think that paying Nnamdi Kanu visit to solidarise with him will be misconstrued by Nigerians as not being apolitical?
Intersociety and co, if not that they made conditional statements using "if it is true that...." in that press release, this professional blunder of not investigating properly before press release, in this allegation against the revered leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, would have irredeemably snatched them of their long-earned reputation. Because people would easily believe that their stance on issues affecting the country is politically motivated. And that their reports would have been badly flawed and unreliable because of investigation deficiencies.
As Nnamdi Kanu can not defend himself because of the unconstitutional bail condition that chained his constitutional right of freedom to address the press, I need to remind Intersociety and co that the same Nnamdi Kanu, who is accused of collecting appeasement gifts from Obiano, publicly announced that there would be no elections in Anambra state owing to the gruesome murder of IPOB members during last year's Biafra Heroes Remembrance Day.
If such gifts as claimed were given, the intent would have been the appeasement of Biafrans through their leader, so that elections, at least, would be held in Anambra state as everyone now knows that the whole Old Eastern States will obey Nnamdi Kanu's instructions in regard to that.
But now that Nnamdi Kanu has declared publicly that there will be no elections in Anambra state, it goes to show that, probably, Gov Obiano conceived that plan, related it to Primus Odili, the supposed distant relative of Obiano , but it all failed.
But instead of reporting it as a failed attempt, Ikenna Ezenekwe of 247Ureports, after collecting little change from Buhari area boys and possibly from Intersociety compromised leaders, he peddled the lies on the social media.
Finally, Nnamdi Kanu, unlike Ralph Uwazuruike, is a tested and trusted leader fighting for his people. His boldness in publicly confronting his enemies, who the likes of Uwazuruike can not confront nor has anyone mustered the guts to do, has made him the living hero that Biafrans are always ready to follow.
His(Nnamdi Kanu's) rejection of federal offers which acceptance of would have been to the detriments of his oppressed people proves that he can not stoop so low as to accept such beggarly offers when they come from the state, were such gifts given.
Therefore, I advise Intersociety & co to investigate allegations of such magnitude before making their position on such public, so that they would not be seen as mistaking the REAL for FAKE.
