NDIGBO COMMUNITY DISOWN IPOB AND NNAMDI KANU

The Igbo Community Association in Kano State has condemned the activities of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

The community made its position known in a press conference held in Kano by its President-General, Ebenezer Chima.

He said: "We want to state categorically here that we, the Igbo residing and doing business in Kano, dissociate ourselves from the activities of IPOB and its leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

"We are strongly advocating peace and unity in the land."

Chima called on all Igbos resident in the state to remain calm, promising nothing would happen to them.

"The state government under the leadership of Governor Abdullahi Ganduje and security agents have given the assurance of adequate security of our lives and property.

"However, we join the South-East governors, the leadership of Ohaneze Ndigbo and other notable Igbo leaders, to ask the Federal Government to address the issues of equality and even distribution of our common wealth.

"This, we believe, will bring an end to the agitations in the country," the president said.
