Late Head of State, General Sani Abacha’s Chief Security Officer (CSO), retired Major Hamza Al-Mustapha, has said that intelligent reports have proved that the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu is being sponsored to distabilise Nigeria by politicians whose names would soon be made public.
Major Al-Mustapha, who spoke to news men in Abuja, said that exposure of the sponsors would be made soon by the security agencies.
“My understanding is that certain people are investing in these problems to promote themselves, but very soon the government would realize it.
“But our security agencies are doing a lot to identify them. Any call to divide Nigeria is unacceptable. I have been playing a role to ensure a united Nigeria. I have been criss-crossing the North and the South-East, and to all parties concerned, soliciting for peace.
“I was recently in Owerri to sign a peace accord with some associations and the North.
“If Arewa youths had addressed IPOB as a group or their leader Nnamdi Kanu as an individual, it would have been a fair- deal, but asking millions of Igbo that reside in the North to quit is not acceptable by law and the provisions of our Constitution.
“We have spoken to the Northern Leaders Forum as well as Ralph Uwazuruike because Nnamdi Kanu was his boy, he brought him up to be in the Radio House in London.
“The people creating tension in Nigeria are behind Kanu. What he is doing may not necessarily be to create tension but those behind him are investing in the tension to divide us as a nation.” [myad]
