The Israeli government, yesterday, said there was no evidence of the appearance of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPoB, Nnamdi Kanu in Israel. The Israeli government said the pictures and videos showing Nnamdi Kanu praying in Israel could be old. Speaking during an interaction with some African journalists in Jerusalem, the spokesman of the Israeli Foreign Ministry, Mr Emmanuel Nashon said there was no evidence that the leader of IPoB was in their country of recent.
“There are no details about his recent visit to this country yet,” Nashon said adding that the pictures and videos could be old ones.
Speaking on their relationship with Africa, Nashon said Israel had been misconstrued, adding that they were getting back to their old friends.
“Our relationship with Africa is extremely important. Israel is a peaceful nation that believes in the process of the world at this changing times, Emmanuel disclosed, adding that they have different religions such as Judaism, Christianity and Islam that live peacefully with one another. Jerusalem is one of the greatest cities in the world. We are considering a lot of networks with Africa and African journalists will get direct contact with Israel journalists so that you don’t need to take news from agencies,” Nashon said.
The leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, was over the weekend sighted in Jerusalem, in a video that surfaced on social media, after months of uncertainty surrounding his whereabouts. Nnamdi Kanu was last seen in public in September 2017 after a raid on his country home in Abia State by the army, shortly after his release from prolonged detention on charges of treason. His lawyer, Mr Ifeanyi Ejiofor, who had earlier accused the Army of being responsible for his client’s disappearance, confirmed the authenticity of the video. He explained that although he had seen the video earlier on, he later got a call from Kanu confirming that the footage was true.
