Nigeria Army voices out on Kanu whereabouts
The Nigerian Army have said the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, is not in their custody.
The sources, from the army headquarters, Abuja, and the 82 Division headquarters, Enugu State, which coordinates Operation Python Dance II, made this known Thursday.
This statement followed the suit by Kanu’s lawyers on Wednesday before the Federal High Court in Abuja praying the court to direct Chief of Army Staff Gen. Tukur Buratai to produce Kanu in court.

Lead counsel Ifeanyi Ejiofor had declared the IPOB leader missing, adding he was last seen after the September 14 invasion of his residence in Afara-Ukwu area of Abia State by soldiers.
“If you follow the trends of things, the army has not been talking about a proscribed group. If someone says he does not know where Kanu is, who gave him the authority to file a motion against the army?’” a source told the Punch.
“We don’t want to be drawn into this propaganda. We have never been secretive. Nobody prompted us before we came out to talk about Egwu Eke II starting in the South-East.
Nobody prompted us before we came out to say that despite all the pressures, we were not withdrawing the operation,” he said.
