The
desk officer of the Operation Python Dance in Abia state has denied claims that
the army carted away properties and personal item of the Indigenous People of
Biafra (IPOB) leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
The
officer, however, confirmed the report that the army indeed visited the IPOB
leader's home on Sunday, October 8, along with some police officers.
Recall
that it was earlier reported that the army was in Kanu's house on Sunday, with
members of the IPOB claiming that the army went away with Kanu's belongings.
Oyebola Emmanuel Kanu, the younger brother of
Nnamdi Kanu, claimed that the items taken away from the IPOB leader's house
include clothes, generating set and furniture
Emmanuel
said: “The international community should prevail on the Nigeria Army to stop
raiding our home again.
We
have been telling the Army to produce my bother whose whereabouts has remained
unknown since after the September 14 military invasion of our compound."
The
Operation Python Dance's desk officer, while reacting to Emmanuel's claim,
however denied that the officers looted the IPOB leader's compound.
The
officer said: “The things removed may be technical items.” He added that
“somebody was arrested with weapon in the compound.”
It is yet uncertain who
the man arrested in Kanu's compound is as the officer directed further
enquiries from the press to the police.
