The Jewish community, together with scores of IPOB members, yesterday, stormed the residence of the leader of the the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) at Isiama
Afaraukwu Ibeku, Umuahia, Abia state. The group from Yahshua Synagogue
arrived Nnamdi Kanu's house where they held the Shabbat celebration as they
reportedly prayed for Nnamdi Kanu and praised him. It can be recalled that
Nnamdi Kanu has several times stated that he and the Igbo people are
descendants of the Jews.
The IPOB leader whose whereabouts is unknown, had always celebrated and identified with the Jewish community in Nigeria and Africa at large.
According to the Jewish religious law, Shabbat is observed from a few minutes before sunset on Friday evening until the appearance of three stars in the sky on Saturday night. Shabbat is ushered in by lighting candles and reciting a blessing.
