Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has
told those calling for his arrest to go after the likes of Tanko
Yakassai, Ango Abdulahi and other Fulanis who have been making inciting
comments.
The IPOB leader vowed that nobody had the power to restrict his
movement in any part of the country and that he was free to go to any
part of Nigeria, including Lagos, if he so wished.
He was reacting to the Wednesday’s protest by some northern youths, who called for his rearrest for breach of bail condition.
He said, “But why will I be re-arrested and nobody is going to arrest
Tanko Yakassai or Ango Abdulahi because of what they have been saying?
“Is it because they are Fulani? They own Nigeria? They are immuned to
arrest? Is arrest only meant for Biafrans and not for Fulani?
“Who will arrest Lawal Daura of DSS for flouting court order to
release Bright Chimezie Isinwa of IPOB? The Fulanis say whatever they
like and go free and nobody holds them accountable because they own
Nigeria”, Kanu said.
According to him, “I go to anywhere I want to go. I don’t listen to
threats. They motivate me rather than dampen my spirit. That thing
people say I cannot do is what I love to do. When the time comes, I will
go to Lagos if I have to go to Lagos.
“I completely disagree with them. They are the pioneers of hate
speech. Go through the text of speeches made by Ango Abdulahim, Tanko
Yakassia or the ones made by one Abubarkar. Are those ones not hate
speeches? Unfortunately, I blame the deplorable state of education in
Nigeria because they don’t know what hate speech is all about.”
