Kanu reacts to the killing of 7 Imo youths, blasts Uzodinma, Umahi

Kingsley Kanunta Kanu, the younger brother of IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu, has reacted to the murder of seven youths by agents of the Ebubeagu security organization in Oru East Local Government Area of Imo State.

According to reports, the seven teenagers were slain by members of the Ebubeagu security group while they were leaving an Awomama traditional wedding.

Kanu, though, denounced the murders of the young people.

Kanu accused the governors of Imo State, Hope Uzodinma, and Ebonyi State, Dave Umahi, of “competing in killing Igbo youths” in a tweet.

“The massacre of 14 innocent #Biafran youths in Awo Omamma by Gov Uzodinma’s Ebubeagu militia in Imo state today is unacceptable and must be condemned.

“@Govhopeuzodinma and @DaveUmahi are competing in killing #BiafranYouths,” he tweeted.

Michael Abattam, a spokesman for the State Police Command, verified the occurrence.

Mohammed Ahmed Barde, the commissioner of police, reportedly authorized investigations into the deaths, according to Abattam.
