The leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate
Elijah Ayodele, has warned President Muhammadu Buhari over the re-arrest of
Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
Primate Ayodele said the noise on the arrest of Kanu by the
Federal Government would give the IPOB leader unnecessary relevance.
In a statement by his Media Office, the cleric said the
arrest of Kanu would have a negative impact on Buhari’s administration.
He also warned that the action taken by the Nigerian
government would have legal implications.
The statement reads partly: “The government should look at
the legal implication of this. In fact, with how the government is celebrating
his arrest, it will have a negative impact on President Buhari’s
administration.
“They need to tread with caution and pay attention to the
legal implications so that it will not be used against President Buhari
administration.
“Arresting Nnamdi Kanu is not a pass mark for the
government, making noise about this will only give him unnecessary relevance,
IPOB will begin to give the government conditions that are unnecessary, his
arrest is not worth celebrating at all but they should look at the legal
implications.”
Kanu was rearrested by the Nigerian government on Sunday and
repatriated to the country.
Though, the government was silent over where the IPOB leader
was nabbed but his family members said Kanu was rearrested in Kenya.
The IPOB leader was repatriated to Nigeria to continue his
trial before Justice Binta Nyako-led Federal High Court sitting in Abuja.
On Tuesday, the court remanded him in custody of the
Department of State Services, DSS, while adjourning the matter.
