The Minister of Interior, Lt-Gen
Abdulrahman Bello Dambazau (retd), has accused the leader of the Indigenous
People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, of violating the bail conditions given
him by a Federal High Court in Abuja.
Dambazau, who made the allegation during a press conference held in his office
in Abuja yesterday, said: “Nnamdi Kanu violates bail conditions but it is not
time yet for him to go back to the court on trial. We have this assumption but I think it is left for the court that gave those conditions to determine whether those conditions were violated or not. If those conditions were violated, the court knows what to do.
We cannot assume that those conditions are being violated. Yes, the public knows those conditions given but the determination of the extent of violation will be left for the court.
It is not like the police will go
after Kanu to arrest him on the grounds that he violated the bail conditions.
Kanu will have a day in court and the court will determine his fate because it
is the court that gave those conditions.”
He equally spoke on why the leaders of the Coalition of Northern Youth Groups behind the quit order given to Igbo in the northern part of the country, haven't been arrested.

According to him; “I am very much
aware that the DSS invited all of them, held a meeting with them to which they
made a statement to the effect that what was reported in the media was not what
they said.
They further wrote to the Acting President indicating that they did not make inciting statement as to the issue of violence or forceful ejection of the Igbo in the north.
Secondly, it is something that the Kaduna State government is handling since that is where it happened. I want to think that it was on that basis that the arrest was not made."
