Nnamdi Kanu’s brother raises alarm over plot to frame him up as Emma Powerful

By Steve Oko

Barely two weeks after his brother and leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPoB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, was jailed for life, Prince Emmanuel Kanu, has raised the alarm over plots to frame him up.

 

He accused enemies of Ndigbo of sponsoring a media propaganda that he is Emma Powerful, IPoB’s Media and Publicity Secretary.

Prince Emmanuel said that those behind the plot were the sponsors of the malicious media propaganda claiming that he is the same person as Emma Powerful, the Spokesperson of IPoB.

He was reacting to a social media article by one Stanley George which claimed that “there is a growing narrative that Kanu’s brother is the same person as Emma Powerful.”

The article titled:”Prince Fineboy Kanu, the Emma Powerful Controversy, and Senator Orji Uzor Kalu’s Call for Peace in the South East”, was published on City Post.

The author tried to juxtapose the impacts of statements by the IPoB Spokesman with the efforts of Senator Orji Uzor Kalu on the peace of South East.

He also alleged that agitation for Biafra restoration had become the family business of the Kanu’s.

While accusing Emma Powerful of setting South East ablaze through his “inflammatory statements”, the author claimed that “Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has emerged as one of the few consistent voices calling for restraint, calm, and a return to dialogue.”

But Kanu’s brother dismissed the article as “a sponsored media propaganda by the enemies of Ndigbo to incite the security agencies against him in furtherance of the secret agenda to permanently weaken the Igbo nation.”

Vehemently denying being the same person as Emma Powerful, Prince Emmanuel described the attempt to rope him into identify theft as “too lame and laughable”.

Prince Emmanuel who said he was still preoccupied with catering for his brother in jail, explained that he would not have loved to dignify the article with a response but for the need to put the records straight, and for the sake of the gullible.

The statement read in part:” Ordinarily, I would have refrained from dignifying this gibberish with a response if not for those who are gullible. My major concentration at the moment is to provide care for my brother who is a prisoner of conscience and victim of Nigeria’s injustice and entrenched hatred for the Igbo.

” We know that this is an orchestrated plot by the enemies to frame me up, and possibly confine me to a place the way they did to my brother. It is no longer in doubt that some traitors camouflaging as Igbo leaders are conniving with the enemies to sabotage the interest of Ndigbo.

” They are already known for whom they are, and no amount of media propaganda or blackmail will change the public perception about their true identity. But they should remember that history will judge them”.

Prince Emmanuel who argued that the security agencies “are not in doubt of the existence or identity of Emma Powerful who has once granted telephone interview to Channels Television”, urged members of the public to ignore the “misleading malicious article”.
