Niger Delta Militants Warns Buhari Against Any Attempt To Rearrest Nnamdi Kanu, Gave Buhari Two-Weeks Ultimatum To Free The Other Two IPOB Detainees!

The militants, consisting of members of Niger Delta People Democratic Front (NDPDF), Concerned Militant Leaders (CML) and Rainbow Marabas (RM) issued the warning yesterday in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, after a crucial meeting. Leaders of the groups identified as General Iyoyo Playboy (NDPDF), General Ben(CML) and General Billy Anaeja, warned that re-arrest of Kanu would cause spontaneous attacks in major states in the country.  

The group further accused the Federal Government of playing politics with the lives of Nigerians, particularly people from South East and South-South geo-political zones. A statement jointly issued by Iyoyo, Ben and Anaeja stated: 'Federal Government has shown, through its moves to re-arrest Nnamdi Kanu, that it does not value lives of Nigerians. The government wants to use the attempt to re-arrest the IPOB Leader to escalate the crisis in the country. If the government is serious, it should go ahead to arrest and wait for the result. We will back IPOB and give the group support in any form, even without them expecting it. We learnt that Federal Government has deployed more security to the South-South and South-East geo-political zones because of Nnamdi Kanu. We dare them to go ahead and execute”, they warned.  They wondered why the Federal Government had remained silent over the activities of Northern youths against the Igbo and killings by Fulani herdsmen'.  

'What has Federal Government done about arresting Arewa youths, who hate the Igbo people with passion? What has Federal Government done with the Fulani herdsmen? How many of them have been arrested? Why is it silent, but is worried about a non-violent IPOB? We are reiterating our stand that we, the Niger Delta agitators, will resist any attempt to re-arrest the IPOB leader. We will resist FG and face the consequences. We are not begging those ruling not to go ahead and execute their plot', the militants stressed.
