As troops and security agents continue the search for fleeing leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu, there were indications last night that he was in the South-East.
Security agencies have been placed on the alert at the airports, seaports and borders to watch out for Kanu.
The Turkish Embassy in Nigeria clarified yesterday that it was not in support of secessionist activities in Nigeria
A top security sourcesaid: “Intelligence gathering has shown that Kanu is still holed up in the South-East. We will soon fish him out of wherever he is hiding.
“We are only trying to be constructive in our engagement to avoid huge cost. Security agencies know what to do but they are just being careful.
“We have identified some of his sympathisers who could harbour him. At the appropriate time, we will brief Nigerians.
” We know he is planning to escape from the country but we won’t allow him. We are determined to arrest him.”
The Turkish Embassy in a statement said: “The Embassy of the Republic of Turkey wishes to inform the Nigerian public about the following:
“Abdulkadir Erkahrahman, a Turkish citizen, has been sharing videos for some time against the Nigerian Government and presents himself as a Turkish diplomat.
“Mr. Abdulkadir Erkahrahman is neither a diplomat nor a civil servant or an official representative of the Government of Turkey.
“The Government of Turkey is committed to the territorial integrity and political unity of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“Furthermore, Turkey never supports secessionist activities against the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
