The Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir el-Rufai, has compared
Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, to Boko Haram
terrorists and bandits.
El-Rufai said the Boko Haram sect and bandits are different
from Kanu because they don’t have a recognised and centralised leadership.
The governor said this in an interview on BBC Pidgin on
Friday morning.
Asked about handling Boko Haram terrorists and bandits with the same swiftness, El-Rufai said: “No! No! No! No! People are comparing apples to oranges.
“Nnamdi Kanu is the leader of IPOB, a proscribed
organisation. He’s identifiable, in constant communication and everyone knows
where he’s.
“Let’s take Boko Haram, for instance. Shekau was in hiding, and for the past ten years and the military had been waging war to get him.
“It’s not like Shekau was in Saudi Arabia, sitting in one
place, tweeting about the breakup of Nigeria or asking Boko Haram to go and
kill Helen and Nasir el-Rufai.
“Nnamdi Kanu is in one place while Shekau is waging
guerrilla warfare. The insurgency is still going on and the Federal Government
isn’t giving up.
“Regarding bandits, they are not centralised under one
leadership. Who is the head of the bandits? Who is the equivalent of Nmandi
Kanu with banditry?
“Bandits are just collections of independent criminals. It’s
a business for them. It’s not a case of ‘Nigeria must break up’.
“I want to challenge anyone to tell me the central leader of
bandits in the same position as Kanu.”
The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, disclosed that its
leader, Nnamdi Kanu was arrested in Kenya.
The Federal High Court, Abuja, had on Tuesday ordered that
Kanu be remanded in a Department of State Service (DSS) facility, pending the
determination of his trial.
