The group insisted that the delay is not in any way connected to the kidnapping and rendition of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from Kenya to Nigeria.
Speaking via a statement by its media and publicity secretary, Comrade Emma Powerful, IPOB claimed that the deceased lawmaker stepped on the toes of many people, especially those from Nnewi when he was alive.
They insisted that Nnewi traditional leaders and their custodians are aware of the reason for the delay in the burial.
The statement read, “We have the information of those who bankrolled and sponsored the abduction and renditioning of our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from Kenya to Nigeria. And we will take an appropriate response at the right time. For now, we are much more concerned with other pressing matters to IPOB.
“It is a known fact that late Senator Ifeanyi Uba stepped on the toes of many Igbo people, particularly his Nnewi people. The delay in his burial is not connected with the kidnapping and rendition of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Those who collaborated with the Nigerian government in committing these abominations are still around.
“The Nnewi traditional leaders and their custodians are people of rich culture and traditions. They know why the burial of the late Senator is being delayed.
“No one should link what happened to the IPOB leader to the delay in the burial of late Ifeanyi Uba. IPOB and Mazi Nnamdi Okwu Kanu should be left out of this traditional quagmire.
”IPOB respects the oneness and deep tradition among Nnewi people. They know what to do to ensure that peace reigns in Nnewi. IPOB encourages them to do what is culturally permissible to ensure that the remains of their son are not buried outside their ancestral land.
“What is happening to the burial of late Senator Uba should be a wake-up call to the radicals and the untouchable politicians to remember that one day Biafrans may reject your corpse and even that of their children.
“They may even be treated like outcasts and possibly banished from Biafra Land. Let he who has ears hear what the spirit is saying.”
