Deji Adeyanju, a popular Abuja-based activist, has warned
that most criminal gang would use the name of the Indigenous People of Biafra,
IPOB, to terrorize Nigerians.
Adeyanju, who is the convener of the Concerned Nigerians
right advocacy group made the remark in response to the attacks on government
security facilities in Owerri, the Imo State capital.
Some unknown gunmen had attacked the police headquarters and
the Correctional Centre in Owerri and freed hundreds of inmates.
The gunmen who operated from 1am to 3am, freed suspects in
almost all the cells at the State Criminal Investigation Department of the
command.
Reacting, Adeyanju warned that such an occurrence in the
Southeast may be worse than Boko Haram.
In a series of tweets, the activist wrote: “After the Edo
jailbreak, it’s almost impossible to pass By-Pass road and many other places in
Benin after 6pm.
“The things some of you are supporting in Imo today will
have repercussions tomorrow. And many criminal gangs will use IPOB’s name to
operate and terrorize the people.
“Something terrible is happening in the Southeast and if
care is not taken, it will be worse than Boko Haram. We need a new president
urgently who will not divide the country along tribal and ethnic lines.
“When Boko Haram started causing trouble in Borno, some
people were celebrating that it was good to fight the injustice they had
suffered. Today, the story is different. I hope those celebrating the
destruction in the SE today, don’t regret it tomorrow.”
