Rearrest Nnamdi Kanu And Watch Nigeria Collapse – MASSOB Warns Federal Government

Separatist group, MASSOB has warned the federal government of Nigeria that re-arresting pro-Biafran leader, Nnamdi Kanu, could lead to crisis in the country.

Kanu, leader of another pro-Biafran group, Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, was arrested and detained by the federal government for alleged treason in 2015.

He was granted bail earlier this year with very strict conditions which includes not to be seen in a crowd of more than 10 persons and must not address press conference or interviews.

However, some northern youths and groups have called for his arrest for flouting the order.

Responding to the call for arrest by Arewa youths, The Movement For The Actualization Of The Sovereign State Of Biafra, MASSOB, in a statement by its factional leader, Uchenna Madu, warned that if Mr Kanu is re-arrested, the country may not recover from the crisis such action will generate.

“MASSOB warns that any attempts or plan to re arrest Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will be thoroughly and massively resisted. We can never tolerate it. It is an insult and embarrassment to our inalienable Rights. We shall collapse Nigeria if he is re-arrested," Madu threatened.
