PUBLIC SAFETY WARNING
Issued by the Family of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu
The family of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), hereby issues this urgent public safety warning to the general public.
It has come to our attention that fraudulent social media accounts, particularly on Facebook and Instagram, are impersonating Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. These fake pages — often using official-looking logos, claiming locations such as Nairobi or Sokoto, and posting misleading updates — are not associated with Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB, or the Kanu family in any way.
Since his illegal rendition and detention in June 2021, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has had no active or verified online presence on any social media platform. He does not operate Facebook pages, Instagram accounts, or any other profiles posting personal messages, location updates, or soliciting engagement.
These impostor pages are part of a sustained deceptive operation, believed to be orchestrated by Nigerian security agencies and their collaborators. Their objectives include:
– Harvesting your personal information, contacts, and data from unsuspecting followers and likers.
– Spreading disinformation to damage the reputation of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB.
– Provoking or monitoring genuine supporters for potential harassment, surveillance, and arrest.
We strongly advise the public as follows:
– Do not follow, like, comment on, share, or engage with any such fake pages.
– Immediately unlike and unfollow any suspicious account claiming to represent Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
– Report these fraudulent pages to the platforms as impersonation/scam accounts.
– Rely solely on verified IPOB channels, primarily through official handles and trusted media affiliates such as Radio Biafra.
Anyone choosing to interact with these fake pages does so at their own risk. Exposure of personal details could lead to severe consequences in the current climate of repression against the Biafran struggle.
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu remains committed to the peaceful, non-violent pursuit of self-determination for Biafrans. We will continue to expose these dirty tactics and call for the unconditional release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
For the Kanu Family
