A group, Arewa Youths Assembly on
Thursday called for the arrest of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra,
Nnamdi Kanu for allegedly violating his bail conditions and making inciting
statements.
The group claimed that Kanu has been
addressing major rallies in the South-South and South-East zones in complete
breach of the bail conditions handed down to him by Justice Binta Nyako of the
Federal High Court, Abuja.
Addressing journalists in Abuja, the
Speaker of the Arewa Youth Assembly, Mohammed Salihu and the Clerk, Desmond
Minakaro accused the Federal Government of “aiding and abetting the IPOB leader
in violating his bail conditions and inciting Nigerians against the government
at major rallies.”
The youth leaders wondered why the
government allowed Kanu to threaten national security with provocative
statements without calling him to order.
The Arewa youths said it was
disappointing that despite the clear bail conditions handed down by Nyako, Kanu had brazenly violated all
including the ban on organising rallies and addressing press conference and
being with a crowd of more than 10 persons at any time.
They said, “The leadership of Arewa
Youth Assembly has observed with keen interest the high level of lawlessness
exhibited by Nnamdi Kanu since he was granted bail in June this year and the
conspiracy of silence displayed by the federal government and its security
agencies in the face of such affront by the IPOB leader.
“No doubt, this lawlessness is
capable of disintegrating this country.”
