The family of leader of the
Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has dared the Federal
Government on moves to arrest him.
Recall that the Federal
Government had last Friday filed an application through Loveme Odubo of the
Department of Public Prosecution of the Federation, Federal Ministry of
Justice, averring that the IPOB leader had flouted all his bail conditions.
They accused Kanu of setting up a
security outfit, Biafra Security Service (BSS), which was viewed as a grave
threat to national security and unity of the country.
Speaking in Umuahia on behalf of
the family, Nnamdi Kanu’s younger brother, Prince Emmanuel Kanu said his elder
brother was not afraid of being re-arrested as that would help Biafra come
quicker than imagined.
He said, “In fact that will
facilitate and fast track the coming of Biafra. On a more serious note, any
attempt to re-arrest Nnamdi Kanu will spell doom for Nigeria, the nation will
never be the same again.
“Re-arresting the IPOB leader
means re-arresting over 70 million Biafrans. Nnamdi Kanu is not the target, he
is the symbol of Biafra today, arresting him is like arresting the whole
Biafrans.”
Prince Kanu said it was laughable
that one of the reasons the Nigerian government had given for seeking Nnamdi
Kanu’s re-arrest was that he formed BSS.
On whether the present threat
from the Federal Government would make Nnamdi Kanu to abandon the agitation,
Prince Emmanuel said, “In fact, Nnamdi Kanu remains resolute and very committed
to the struggle.”
“Whatever you do in terms of
intimidation spurs him on the more.These are the type of things he likes so
much. So, re-arresting him will make him stronger and quicken the realization
of Biafra and will also spell doom for the nation.”
“The Federal Government’s current
threat will never make Nnamdi Kanu to be afraid to stand trial for whatever
reason. Any day, anytime, he is ready to stand trial because he is a man who
has committed no crime.
“He is more than happy to stand
trial and challenge whosoever that comes up. He is not afraid of going to
court, he is not also afraid of going to prison.
“He was in prison and issued the
sit-at-home order and people obeyed, so, his going back to prison will make
things worse for the Federal Government.
“Nnamdi Kanu and Arewa youths
that gave the Igbo in the North quit notice, who between the two committed
treasonable felony? It was the Arewa youths and since then, nothing has
happened to them.”
