Nnamdi Kanu narrates how he was smuggled out of Nigeria
Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has revealed how he escaped during the military clamp down on the group.
In an interview with Israeli TV Channel 1, Kanu said he was “smuggled out” of the country with the help of relatives.
IPOB was the target of a Nigerian Army operation code-named Operation Python Dance, launched in the South East.
While the group was banned, Kanu went out of public glare until two weeks ago, when a video of him in Israel resurfaced on social media.
In the interview, Kanu alleged that 28 persons were killed during the army operation, which was largely felt around his father’s residence in Umuahia, Abia State.
He said: “When I came out (of prison), I continued to preach to my people and continued to practise my Jewish religion.
“And, one day, the Nigerian army came to my house to kill me. They killed 28 people in their attempt to kill me.
“My people evacuated me before they came to my bedroom. They took me away and smuggled me out of Nigeria.
“I needed some time to recover, which I did and, then, had to make my way to Israel.”
The IPOB leader added that he feels “relieved” that he “managed to make it” to Israel, “the only place I feel safe in the world.” (Daily Sun)

Sharing a video on his Instagram account, he said;
“I am going to be spending the next 24 hours buried in this casket. Guys, this is real, not fake. And the most amazing part is that I am going to go live by night.”
In a subsequent update, the young man simply identified as Young C revealed that he had been buried for over 8 hours and was experiencing physical discomfort, including excessive sweating;
“Guys, I have been buried alive for over 8 hours now. For those of you who saw my first video, I have been down here. As you can see, my camera is still rolling, and I have my light down there, I am sweating, guys.”
In yet another update, Young C said he has started experiencing heat and that his fear now is for his rechargeable fan not to run out of power.
He also showed a container where he has been urinating since he began the challenge.
This feat was also once attained by an American YouTuber, Jimmy Donaldson popular known as MrBeast who spent 50 hours buried underground.

President Tinubu Congratulates Tunde Onakoya On Guinness World Chess Record
President Bola Tinubu congratulates Mr. Tunde Onakoya on setting a new world chess record and sounding the gong of Nigeria’s resilience, self-belief, and ingenuity at the square of global acclaim.
Mr. Onakoya broke the Guinness World Record for the longest chess marathon on Saturday, after playing for over 58 hours and winning every match in tow.
President Tinubu celebrates the Nigerian Chess Champion and founder of Chess in Slums Africa for the rare feat, but especially for the reason driving this compelling demonstration of character, which is raising funds for African children to learn and find opportunity through chess.
The President states Mr. Onakoya has shown a streak customary among Nigeria’s youth population, the audacity to make good change happen; to baffle impossibility, and propel innovations and solutions to the nation’s challenges, even from corners of disadvantage.
The President affirms that Nigeria’s youths have demonstrated in all fields, including Afrobeats, Nollywood, the pulsating skit-making enterprise, education, science, and technology, that great exploits can truly come from small quarters.
President Tinubu commends the inclination of Nigerians – across artificial partitions – for unity, once again exemplified through their undiluted support for this epoch-making endeavour.
The President assures all citizens that his administration remains strongly committed to creating and expanding opportunities for the youth to explore and exercise their abilities and become the symbols of greatness our nation represents into the future.
