COVID-19: Don’t use face mask from China, it’s contaminated, will kill you, IPOB leader Kanu warns Ndigbo
The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu has alleged that face masks imported from China, to prevent COVID-19, were contaminated.
He therefore warned his people from the South East region of Nigeria not to wear the face mask except they were ready to die.
He made this allegation in his recent broadcast on Radio Biafra.
“The face masks that are made in China are contaminated; do not make use of them because you will die.
“Nobody will come to your rescue, use the way in which they are sharing the relief materials only in the North as an example.
“Chinese are treating our people like rags in China and you say I should be diplomatic? It is better I die standing on my feet than live a thousand years on my knees. People treat us the way they do because we see evil and keep quiet.
“We are going to do what the world never expected of a black people. We want to build a Nation, God in heaven will be proud of.
“How many people have you seen going to China for medical treatment?. Why then inviting China to treat you? Welcome to the zoo.

“The people you brought in from China are they not the same people attacking our people in China?” Kanu said.
Kanu’s group, IPOB has since been outlawed by President Muhammadu Buhari-led government.
