The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF) has said that the
rearrest of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is a
clear message to agitators.
AYCF National President, Yerima Shettima said Kanu’s
rearrest would send a clear signal to Yoruba freedom fighter Sunday Adeyemo
also known as Sunday Igboho.
Speaking with Dailypost, Shettima said with Kanu’s rearrest,
agitators should learn not to resort to violence.
He stressed that those who have resorted to violence while
agitating for Nigeria’s disintegration should be dealt with.
Asked if Kanu’s arrest was a message to other agitators,
Shettima said: “This is a clear message to the likes of Igboho, I’m happy that
this happened. It’s a clear message to all those who think that they can
undermine the sovereignty of this nation and get away with it.
“Agitation, I have no problem with it but when it turns out
to be violent against innocent citizens, then anyone found wanting should be
dealt with decisively
“I urged the court to speedly ensure an accelerated hearing
so that Kanu faces the music once and for all.
“Since he jumped bail and defied to court, there is no need
for delays, they should do the needful.”
Prior to his rearrest, Kanu used his platform, Radio Biafra
to urge his followers to attack security operatives and destroy government
facilities in the Southeast.
The IPOB leader was, however, arrested on Sunday and
repatriated to Nigeria to continue his trial before the Justice Binta Nyako-led
Federal High Court, Abuja.
Upon appearing before her, Justice Nyako had remanded him in
custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) while adjourning the matter.
