Some leaders from northern part
of Nigeria has called on the federal government to without delay arrest the
leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
According to them, the IPOB
leader was granted bail on certain conditions, adding that if it was
established that he had violated his bail conditions, it was up to court to
decide.
Elder statesman, Yanko Yakassai
said there was nothing wrong with the Federal Government’s moves to rearrest
Kanu for his unguarded utterances.
He said, “Kanu is under bail with
certain conditions, if those conditions were breached, it was right for the
government to approach the court for decision.
“The issue is purely judicial,
and the Federal Government has taken the right step to address it, and current
effort by tribal lords to politicise it is unfortunate “
On his part, a member of Arewa
Consultative Forum, ACF, Senator Joseph Waku, particularly called for the
immediate detention of the IPOB leader.
Waku told Vanguard that nobody
was above the law, stressing that Nnamdi Kanu should not be an exception.
He said: “Did he not violate his
bail conditions? He should have his bail revoked and put back in jail. Nobody
is above the law. The government should demonstrate thàt it is serious.”
Similarly, a former Police
Commissioner, Alhaji Abubakar Tsav, said: “Kanu was not acquitted of the
charges against him; he was only released on medical grounds. And the court
gave him conditions which he appears to have violated. And he has developed a
penchant for making trouble.
‘’I think the government is right
to have approached the court again because if Kanu is left to continue the way
he is going, other groups will emulate him.”

You never demanded the arrest of the AREWA group,who has made the worst hate speech in the history of Nigeria in this 22nd generation by quiting a tribe in Nigeria to leave their area,but you are telling FGN to arrest a man who is craving for change because of bad leadership in the present APC lead administration. This is a government of Autocracy. God will surely intervene in this situation soon. You are wicked and barbaric.
