The Indigenous Peoples Of Biafra (IPOB) group , has dared the Federal Government of Nigeria to attempt to re-arrest its leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
The IPOB’s challenge came as a response to an appeal by Nigeria’s Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, asking for the revocation of a court order that granted bail to Mr. Kanu.
The minister also advocated the re-arrest and detention of the IPOB leader pending the determination of the charges against him.
The Attorney General cited Mr. Kanu’s violation of his bail conditions as one of the major reasons the secessionist agitator should be arrested.
Reacting to the minister’s position, IPOB accused the Federal Government of playing politics, adding that Mr. Kanu could never be rearrested. The group also vowed that many tragic events would happen if Nigerian authorities ever rearrested the IPOB leader.
“IPOB is not doing anything about the order of [the Federal Government] through the Attorney General to revoke [a] court order and arrest Nnamdi Kanu again. We are just watching and waiting to see what is going to happen and how it will happen,” the secessionist group stated.
IPOB added, “Think about what his re-arrest would cause in Nigeria. The FG is just playing politics. They cannot arrest Nnamdi Kanu. This is not the first time they would be calling for his re-arrest. Nevertheless, a lot of people have written articles stating the tragic that will happen if he is rearrested.”
IPOB restated its advice to all Igbo to leave the Northern part of Nigeria on or before October 1, 2017. It warned Igbo resident in the northern part of Nigeria not to fall into a trap set by Northerners.
In April, a Federal High Court in Abuja granted bail to Mr. Kanu who is facing trial for alleged treason. The bail, which was granted on health grounds, came with certain conditions, including stipulations that the secessionist leader should not address rallies, grant interviews, or be at a gathering of more than 10 people.
Mr. Kanu has since been addressing huge crowds of people who support his agitation for an independent republic of Biafra.

FG have already make Nnamdi Kanu more popular by seizing his Passports and jail him which drew more sympathisers to his course. One thing this government of Bokohari should not forget is that every Igbo politician in Abuja including the State governors pretending to be against Biafra agitation are indeed sympathetic or supporting Biafra directly or indirectly just the same way every Northern is loyal to Arewa course to subjugate every other ethic group in Nigeria.
If Kanu is rearrested, another person more RADICAL will take up the mantle and that won't stop the agitation; instead it can lead Nigeria into another Civil War. Boko Haram issue is a clear case of what may happen. After the arrest and murder of Muhammed Yusuf, his death did not silence his followers ( Boko Haram ) members, rather they transformed into a deadly terrorist organisation. Since the FG can NOT handle the insurgency in North East after more than 9 years, they can NEVER handle any Arm conflict that may break out if Nnamdi Kanu is rearrested. So let them go ahead as this will make the dissolution of this contraception called Nigeria more easier.
