Kanu urged the people of the South-East to conduct themselves peacefully whenever they are defending themselves against external attacks.
He wrote:
“Let these be clear: I come in peace, not war. #IPOB is committed to non-violence, but will never be cowardly. #ESN is about self-defense, not offense. My abiding mission is to restore #Biafra peacefully but if you want war, you will surely get it, sooner than later. THANK YOU.”
