The Director of Radio Biafra and the leader of indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu on, Sunday 10th May, addressed his followers via Facebook live broadcast in a desperate attempt to reassure his followers he was alive.

It would be recalled that the Peace Accord Forum (PAF) – a coalition group in a statement published by The Nation had declared that the IPOB leader was dead and buried.

The statement reads: “The delusional mind of Nnamdi Kanu’s impostor or whoever uses his social media accounts in recent days seems to be on overdrive gear.

We appeal to gullible minds to seek light or remain in IPOB darkness and captivity forever.

PAF insisted IPOB’s many attempts “to prove to the world that their so-called ‘Supreme Leader’ is not dead have been futile, hence, the verbal attacks on anyone and everyone”.

A lot of questions have been raised on various social media channels whether the current leader of IPOB is the real one or an impostor. While his congregation of followers are certain their leader is very much alive, a critical mass of people especially on social media have been demanding a proof of life.


Along the spectrum of the psychotic disorder that the issue has generated on social media, listening to Nnamdi Kanu on the Facebook live chat on Sunday evening was a lot I couldn't handle.

The intensity of his craziness and ignorance at which he was communicating to his congregation is unrivalled.

Many of his nauseating remarks centered on the rumoured vacuum of power at Aso Rock.

The subjection and repression of V.P Osinbajo in office. The ridiculous claim that Aisha Buhari is in charge of governance and a lot more. This, however is a proof that Nnamdi Kanu or whoever is body double, is someone nobody should take serious.

As as person, it was really a comic way to end a weekend as I was left wondering the kind of the breed of Humans that form the majority of his congregation.

It is therefore not surprising that during the live broadcast, Nnamdi Kanu, in reacting to some of the messages from his followers that had demanded a proof of his identity as the true leader of the movement was asked to clear the air on news that had filtered the social media concerning his demise, and his body double claim.

His ego was bruised. He quickly resorted into childish display of deleting chats, comments and messages that challenged his identity. He had absolutely nothing to say. He was cornered, exposed and embarrassed.

Proverbs 26:24-26 says: "Enemies disguise themselves with their lips, but in their hearts they harbor deceit.

Though their speech is charming, do not believe them, for seven abominations fill their hearts.

Their malice may be concealed by deception, but their wickedness will be exposed
