VIDEO: Nnamdi Kanu asked us to kill you – Gunmen tell two abducted Imo monarchs

Suspected members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), in a trending video, physically assaulted two traditional rulers abducted in Imo State.

Recall that gunmen had last Sunday abducted Eze Acho Ndukwe of Amagu Ihube and Eze Paul Ogbu of Ihitte Ihube, both in Okigwe Local Government Area of the state.

In the trending video, the two monarchs were seen being beaten by the suspected IPOB members who rained insults on them.

The gunmen told the traditional rulers that IPOB’s leader, Nnamdi Kanu, had asked them to kill the monarchs.

“You are occultic persons. You deserve to die. You have committed enough abomination that warrants the spilling of your blood. Nnamdi Kanu asked us to kill you, you police and wipe away your generation hence you don’t want Biafra to be actualised in your time,” one of the gunmen was heard saying in the video.

Newsflash Nigeria understands that the gunmen later killed the traditional ruler of the Ihitte Ihube autonomous community, Paul Ogbu.

The criminals abducted the slain monarch and the traditional ruler of Amagu Ihube, Acho Ndukwe and set their palaces and vehicles ablaze.
