Biafra: Obong Of Calabar Denies Sending ‘Emissary’ To Nnamdi Kanu, Calls For His Arrest

Latest report as the Obong of Calabar, Edidem Ekpo Okon Abasi Otu V, has dissociated the palace and people of Efik kingdom from the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu and his agitation.
The monarch also called on the Police to arrest the man who recently visited Kanu, claiming to be his ’emissary’.
This is contained in a statement on Saturday by Chairman of the Etuboms’ Traditional Council, Palace of the Obong of Calabar, HRH Etubom Bassey Okor Bassey Duke.
It described the man whose identity remains unknown to the
palace as an impersonator, who must face the full wrath of the law.

The statement reads: “The attention of the Obong of Calabar-in-Council has been drawn to a video currently making the rounds on social media in which a person is seen claiming to have been sent by the Obong of Calabar to ask Nnamdi Kanu of IPOB to visit him.

“The Obong of Calabar is one of only eight rulers recognised by the Federal Republic of Nigeria as Natural Rulers and Treaty Kings whose kingdoms existed hundreds of years before the amalgamation, and who interacted with, and signed Treaties and Agreements with Sovereign Nations in Africa and Europe.
“The content of this video is therefore a ridiculous insult, and the Obong of Calabar-in-Council dissociates itself completely from everything to do with the person and fake message carried in the video.
