Arewa Youths on Thursday called on the Presidency to order
the arrest and detention of the national leader of the Indigenous People of
Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
This comes as tension generated by their quit notice to
Igbos living in the North is yet to reduce.
Addressing a news conference in Abuja, the Speaker of the
Arewa Youth Assembly, AYA, Mohammed Salihu and the Clerk, Desmond Minakaro,
accused the federal government of aiding and abetting Kanu to breach his bail
conditions.
“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.
“The level of insecurity and youth agitations calls for
concern by all well meaning Nigerians. These threats have turned our country in
a place of uncertainty and now a laughing stock within the international
communities. Nigerians now live in a state of fear and trauma for the fear of
the unknown.
“Any nation or institution which cannot abide by its own laws,
rules and regulations is bound to fail and not worthy of being a nation or
institution. It is on record that a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja
presided by Honourable Justice Binta Nyako on the 28th April, 2017, granted
bail to one Mr. Nnamdi Kanu on health grounds with about 12 conditions attached
to his Bail.
“Gentlemen of press, you will all agree with us that the
said Nnamdi Kanu has openly violated his bail conditions, chief among which are
that he should not address a press conference; a rally and should not be in a
gathering of not more than ten persons.
“The most surprising and amazing of this is that the Federal
Government is watching while Nnamdi Kanu is creating a state within a State,
threatening to stop Anambra State gubernatorial election by holding rallies in
South South and South East states and using provocative and inciting words,
granting interviews to the press.
Can you sense it? Something major is about to happen.
Let's see how this plays out in the coming days, weeks...
