The Nigerian military or security agencies in the country cannot be held responsible over the whereabouts of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu.
Major General John Enenche, defence spokesperson, made this assertion on Friday in Abuja while interacting with journalists.
Countering allegation that the military ceased Kanu during the encounter between it and IPOB, the defence spokesman said the allegation was false.
“I watched the operations live. I also got first-hand information from our men on the ground. For the records, Nnamdi Kanu was never taken away by the military.
“The military is doing their routine exercise operation; I saw everything, nobody raided Kanu’s house. I stand to justify it not from the information I got, I was watching it live. I was monitoring it live.
“Nobody raided his house, nobody went to ‘carry’ him, that must be very clear I saw the militancy, nobody told me,” he said.
Kanu was said to be last seen on September 14 when IPOB members clashed with some soldiers who were on Operation Python Dance in Abia State.
Following the tension that gripped the country over the activities of IPOB, shortly after, the group was banned in the South Eastern states.
The military also declared IPOB as a terrorists group.
A court order soon followed, confirming the declaration of IPOB as a terrorists group.
