Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, the Spiritual Director of the
Adoration Ministry Enugu, Nigeria (AMEN), has said handcuffing Mazi Nnamdi
Kanu, self-acclaimed leader of the secessionist group, Indigenous People of
Biafra (IPOB), will not stop the agitation for the disintegration of Nigeria.
The Catholic priest, who spoke during a sermon, said even if
the Nigerian Government handcuffs hundreds of secessionists, the agitation
would continue due to hardship in the land.
Recall that after over two years of man-hunt, the Federal
Government on Tuesday disclosed that it has re-arrested Nnamdi Kanu.
The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of
Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN, who confirmed the development, said he was
re-arrested by a combined team of Nigerian and foreign security agents in a
coordinated interception.
The FG, through the Minister of information and Culture, Lai
Mohammed, on Thursday addressed newsmen on the development but maintained
silence on the country that the fugitive was nabbed.
Mbaka, who attributed the current agitation in Southeast
(Biafra) and the Southwest (Oduduwa) to hardship ravaging the entire nation,
alleged that the Southeast Governors influenced Kanu’s fall.
He said, “Even if they put handcuffs on hundreds of
Nigerians, agitation will not stop. Handcuffing them will even increase the
agitation.
“You cannot tie people down when they can not afford what to
eat. School fees in Enugu are at the highest level. And parents, after suffering
to train their children, the children will still be at home.
“The agitation will not stop just because some people are
handcuffed. So I asked our leaders to sit down and not sell their people.
“Don’t sell your sons because you are governors today. Don’t
sell your sons and daughters because of political promises you may not know the
outcome in the future”.
