The leader of Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB, Mr Nnamdi Kanu has urged its IPOB members in Japan to arrest President Muhammadu Buhari, when he arrives in the country and hands him over to security operatives because he, is an impostor.
Buhari will depart Abuja on Sunday for Japan to participate in the Seventh Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD7) holding in the City of Yokohama, August 28-30, 2019.
Reacting to the trip, #IPOB insisted that Buhari was Jibril Al-Sudan masquerading himself as Nigerian President. A statement signed by IPOB’s spokesperson, Emma Powerful, on Friday reads:
“The formidable IPOB members in Japan is hereby placed on direct order to ensure the impostor Jubril Al-Sudani, masquerading as the late dictator Buhari, is arrested and handed over to the authorities when he sets foot on Japanese soil.
He is not only a fake president, but he is also wanted for mass murder and crimes against humanity for his role in the previous and ongoing genocide in Biafraland. Under Japanese law, an impostor is a common criminal and subject to citizens arrest.
International diplomatic protocol as it relates to visiting heads of state is not applicable in this instance because whoever Abba Kyari is sending to Japan is not the real Buhari. We must make sure he is apprehended and handed over to the police in Japan.
Any legal fall-out emanating from any confrontation will end up in a Japanese court where we will be able to establish before the world that Jubril is indeed a fake Buhari” he said.
