Nnamdi Kanu Lived Five-star Life, Travelled In Private Jets – Lai Mohammed Reveals
Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, allegedly led a five-star lifestyle across many nations, traveling on chartered private aircraft, living in luxurious homes, and dressing in brand clothes and shoes, according to Minister of Information and Culture Lai Mohammed.
This was said by Mohammed at a press conference held in Abuja on Thursday in response to the re-arrest of the IPOB leader.
Kanu was re-arrested, he added, as a result of a cooperative operation by Nigerian security agencies and overseas counterparts.
The Minister said, “As you are aware, the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, has been re-arrested and repatriated to Nigeria to resume his trial. This was made possible through the collaboration of Nigerian security and intelligence agencies.
“Kanu, who is facing an 11-count charge of treason, treasonable felony, terrorism and illegal possession of firearms, among others, jumped bail in 2017 and left the country. On Tuesday, Kanu was re-arraigned in court and ordered to be remanded in the custody of the DSS, while the case was adjourned till July 26-27, 2021
“Gentlemen, the Federal Government wishes to commend the Nigerian security and intelligence agencies, who collaborated to re-arrest the proscribed IPOB leader in one of the most classic operations of its type in the world. We commend the professionalism, diligence, patriotism and painstaking efforts of our security and intelligence agencies. We also thank the sister international agencies that collaborated with us to pull off this arrest.
“It will interest Nigerians to know that for over two years, our security and intelligence agencies were on the trail of the proscribed IPOB leader as he lived a five-star life across several countries, travelling on chartered private jets, living in luxury apartments and turning out in designer clothes and shoes. Of course, as we all saw, he was wearing an attire made by Fendi, a luxury Italian fashion brand, when he was arrested.”
