Pro-northern group, Arewa Youths Consultative Forum, AYCF has hailed the Muhammadu Buhari administration for arresting Fugitive IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
Leader of the group, Yerima Shettima in an interview with Independent shortly after the news of Kanu’s arrest broke, stated that pro-secessionist leader deserves no sympathy and should be severely punished.
“We commend the government for this action. Though his arrest came late but it is better late than never. The harm he has committed the first time he was arrested was far lesser than the harm he has committed after he has jumped bail”.
“We understand that he was taken to court today and we demand for a speedy trial and he should be prosecuted immediately”.
“Nobody should sympathise with him. Sympathizing with him will not only do harm to Nigeria but it will be damage that one cannot even imagine. His case should serve as a deterrent to the likes of him who in future may want to behave the way he did.”
“He should be made to face severe punishment.”
