Gunmen threaten South-East Govs, Obi Cubana over Abba Kyari (video)

Due to the presence of Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari, at his mother's burial in Oba, a heavily armed group known as "The Angry Vipers" has threatened to attack Obi Cubana, an Anambra-born businessman and socialite.

The burial, which took place in July 2021 in Oba, Anambra State, was a lavish display of wealth as Obi Cubana buried his mother in style.

Several celebrities, business leaders, and politicians, including Abba Kyari, attended the funeral in large numbers after photos of Obi Cubana and the police officer went viral on the internet.

They also issued the threat in a viral video on Thursday, giving the Southeast Governors a 21-day deadline to ensure Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, is released. 

In response to Kyari's presence at the burial, the armed group stated that Obi Cubana will hear from them soon.

"To the kings and chiefs in our land, you have decided to reduce yourselves to less than used sanitary pads. You are now being toiled about by uncircumcised Fulanis due to your idiocy and bribery. We, the Angry Vipers, are giving you 21 days to leave our land unless Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is released.

"For Obi Cubana and co. who are closely working with the killers of our youths, you and your crew made sure that Abba Kyari returned to Anambra State, you will hear from us. 

"From now onwards, we will put a stop to any form of tax directed to markets, road transports, such as bikes, vehicles and sundry, within the Biafra land. Henceforth, it shall be bloody, all hell shall be let loose. This very press statement is irrevocable."
