In response to the call made by the President- General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo community for the release the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, by President Muhammadu Buhari, the Arewa community has faulted the call saying it was wrong.
Leader of the community, Musa Saidu started that Iwuanyawu’s call was wrong and wondered if the killings in the Southeast would stop if Kanu is released.
In a statement he signed, Saidu said: “Where were they when Kanu was leading IPOB militants to kill innocent people in the South East.
“Not only in the South East, so many members of the Arewa community were attacked in Port Harcourt and nobody said anything, we have the figures, we have even the photos of those killed in cold blood.
Now they’re clamouring for his release, what guarantee are they giving that the killings will not continue if he is released.”
Recall that Kanu has been detained by the Department of State Services, DSS, since he was extra-ordinarily renditioned from Kenya.
The IPOB leader was brought back to continue his trial before the Nigerian court, over his agitation for Biafra.
