Strong indications emerged yesterday night that the confiscated 1,100 pump action rifles loaded in a 20 foot container in Lagos were allegedly shipped in by the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.
It was gathered that the weapons, brought from Turkey, were concealed inside a container which Bill of Laden indicated it was conveying wash hand basins.
The importation of the arms were part of the moves by the pro-Biafra agitator and his sponsors to stop the incoming governorship election in Anambra State from taking place as planned, AIT News has reliably learnt.
Kanu had earlier vowed to kill any Igbo person that goes out to participate in the forthcoming elections
The Kanu-led group had roared that the forthcoming governorship election will never be held, saying the reverse will be the case only when all members were dead.
“We are going to use Anambra State to set an example so that other states in Biafran land will learn. We are sure and we are going to assure them that there will be no election in Anambra State. The message is that there will be no election in Biafran land starting from Kogi, Benue, Edo, Delta, Enugu, Imo, Abia, Ebonyi, Port Harcourt, Bayelsa, Cross River, Akwa Ibom and others,” the group had threatened in a recent statement.
A close source hinted our reporter that the arms were acquired by Igbos in the diaspora, who have been secretly backing Nnamdi Kanu and his quest for the rebirth of Biafra.
“He is hell bent on thwaring the forthcoming election in Anamra State, hence his decision to bring in weapons to disrupt the polls. As we speak, this is the second batch of the weapons that had been flown into the country.
“As we speak, Kanu has armed most members of his group he tagged Biafra secret service,” the insider, who does not want his name mentioned told our reporter on Monday.”
