Minister of Defence, Brig-Gen
Mansur Mohammed Dan-Ali has explained why the Indigenous People of Biafra
(IPOB) was tagged as a terrorist group.
According to the Defence
Minister, one of the characteristics of a terror group was hate speech, which
Kanu and his co-agitators had been making against Nigerians and Nigeria.
The minister, while speaking
during a courtesy call on the Permanent Representative of Nigeria to the United
Nations, in New York, the United States of America, Prof Tijjani Bande,
insisted that the international community cannot determine the nation’s
internal security problem.
“There are many indices that make
a group terrorist. One of them that has been mentioned in the country is that
any group that is fond of making hate speeches, making provocative statements,
becoming a security challenge to the country, then that group has to be
registered as a terrorist group,” Dan-Ali said.
He further added that the
international community needed to look at what was going on in the country and
know what IPOB was doing.
Speaking earlier, Bande thanked
Dan-Ali for the visit, and said a lot of important persons come around, but are
hardly seen in the Mission.
He said the fact that the minister
created time to visit the Permanent Mission was something extremely important
to the Mission.
Mohammed Dan-Ali, define hate speech. How do you describe an unarmed group as terrorists? You're dishonest.
ReplyDeleteHis statements in itself is a hate speech. He hates the Igbos with the same passion as his boss- Muhammadu "Mujahedeen" Buhari.
DeleteWolves in sheep clothing.
One day the truth must surely come out since our leaders don't believe the truth, u are calling it internal security why did u use soldier instead of Police to brutalise innocent people, the judgement is around the corner, as events unfolding
