The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has said that Christians and Southerners would bear the consequences of the death of Qassem Soleimani, an Iranian military commander killed by the United States.
Kanu’s statement follows a protest by some Islamic sect in Northern Nigeria after the head of Iran’s Elite Quds Force was killed Friday in a US airstrike in Baghdad.
The protesters were pictured carrying a flag depicting the image of Soleimani and Abu Mahdi Al-Muhamandis and an inscription ‘Death to America: death to Israel.’
Kanu stated in a tweet on his official handle @ Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, that the reprisal attack will tell on Christians and those from the Eastern and Southern regions of the country.
According to Kanu, ”What they failed to add in this banner is "Death to Biafra" because Judeo-Christians, especially Biafrans in Arewa core north of the British created contraption ‘Nigeria’ will bear the brunt of this US strike in Iraq as always. Britain must stop shielding terrorists in Nigeria.”
