The leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has on Sunday the 28th of June, 2020, blamed the Southeast leaders and politicians over the incessant killings of villagers in their homes and farmlands across Southeast Nigeria by Fulani herdsmen. Kanu laid this blame through a worldwide broadcast on Radio Biafra London.
Kanu who was visibly angry over what he called 'a criminal silence' of the so called leaders, elders and politicians from the region wondered why it has become so difficult for the so-called leaders to make at least one press statement to condemn the killings, abduction and raping of little girls and mothers alike by the herdsmen. The IPOB helmsman argued that have the folks parading themselves as leaders in the Southeast have a modicum understanding of what leadership is all about, they would have made haste to put in place strategic plans to end the killings and bring justice to the families of the victims.
According to him, any leader or elder in any part of the world who is insensitive to the plight of his people does not deserve any respect from the people. He stressed that it is such gross insensitivity that birthed his constant verbal attacks on them, adding that his attacks are not out of hatred but a mental pull calculated to force appropriate authorities into rightful actions.

While the broadcast lasted, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu played two video clips confirming the killings in two towns of Anambra state. In one of the videos, a 22 years old girl from Agulu-Eri in Anambra West was abducted from their home by Fulani herdsmen. The abductors attacked their home and after injuring the mother severely and shooting sporadically, took away the girl. A second video showed how the herdsmen killed another young lady, dissected her and scattered her body parts all over the farmland.
Kanu decried the silence of Igbo leaders and elders, describing it as evil. He accused them of feigning ignorance for the fact that the people being killed are not their own children or immediate family members.
Speaking further, the IPOB Supreme Leader said that the so-called elders and politicians have sacrificed the lives and welfare of their own people for political gains, adding that such compromise emboldened the Fulani Janjaweed the more.
