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.

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...

On Friday, May 31st, during the funeral service for the Late Asagba of Asaba, the essence of true leadership was vividly displayed. The service featured the introduction of various dignitaries, including Senator George Akume, Secretary to the Government of the Federation who represented President Bola Tinubu, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, Governor Godwin Obaseki, and Former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa.
