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.”
