Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu has thrown his weight behind the Operation Amotekun regional security outfit of the South-West zone.
According to him, the outfit has come to stay irrespective of the federal government’s position.
Recall that the federal government had proscribed Amotekun, saying it was illegal.
However, Kanu on Thursday commended those behind the regional security outfit and pledged IPOB’s maximum support for it.
The statement read in part: “The final and definitive stance of the Biafran people is that IPOB will support Operation Amotekun with all our might.

“Regardless of the history of politics that may have existed between the East and the West in the past, we have sworn to work with this generation of Yoruba leadership with the likes of Pa Ayo Adebanjo, Yinka Odumakin, Femi Fani-Kayode and Omoleye Sowore at the helm.
“I will support this generation of Yorubas that setup Amotekun. IPOB will work with them. If they want one million men, I will give them to ensure this expansionism is stopped.
“We will support the Yorubas in all forms and by every means necessary.
“IPOB will back Amotekun Security Outfit. Amotekun is not going anywhere. They are here to stay and IPOB will support them.”
