The Yoruba Youth Congress (YYC) and the Coalition of Southwest Youths groups have called on the Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo to order the immediate arrest of the leader of the Indigeneous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu.
The groups accused Kanu of taking Nigerians for granted, stressing that the IPOB leader is attempting to provoke the Nigerian youths.
Chairman of the Coalition of Southwest Youths groups who doubles as the National President of Yoruba Youths Congress, Prince Dapo Adepoju who addressed reporters in Akure, the state capital, said the groups are also aligning with the position of the Coalition of Northern Youth which asked the United Nations (UN) to see the IPOB as a terror group.
The Yoruba groups warned Kanu not to provoke violence in the country, noting that nobody has the monopoly of violence.
Adepoju disclosed that concerted efforts are being made at dousing rising temper of over 25million Yoruba Youths who are not happy with the war like attitude of Kanu and his men.
He said “We decided to keep mute all along as we felt Kanu and his men will allow for dialogue.
“But we are surprised that despite the fact that the Northern youths who earlier issue quit notice to the Igbo’s has make a U-turn on their decision, Kanu and his men are still moving around spreading hate speeches
“We are tired as we are losing patience, in as much as we understand that Kanu does not have the support of the majority of the Igbo’s, we felt its high time the security operatives do their job in getting him arrested
“Kanu does not have monopoly of violence as efforts are been made at dousing rising temper of over 25million Yoruba Youths who are not happy with the war like attitude of kanu and his men
“We therefore use this medium to call on the acting president, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo to oder the arrest of Kanu
“We equally support the letter addressed to the UN by the coalition of Nothern Youths to declare IPOB a terror group, “he said.
Adepoju also called on president Mohammadu Buhari’s administration to call for national Youths Confab, saying it will go a long way in itemizing the issues affecting the Nigerian youths.

Stupidity and illiteracy are killer diseases that eat deeper than virus. My happiness is that reasonable and intelligent Yorubas are in support of the Biafra struggles. OLUWA HOLDS THE ACE

Yorubas are hopeless people i have ever seen in this life,in this civilized era people dont still understand that we re no more living in primitive state.u dont have to arrest anyone who is agitating and protesting peacefully ,it is called self determination and he is caling for indigenouse freedom.hate speech is free in a democratic world.through out donald trump election campain he never stop his hate speeches on hillary and obama until he got the majority vote,so why on earth will osibanjo arrest nnamdi kanu if not that we have somany educated illitrate in yoruba land.MKO abiola died bcus yorubas dont know their right.nnamdi kanu is well educated and nobody can jail him as much as law still exist in this world .nnamdi kanu knows his right and 95% of igbos gives him massive support.even if nnamdi kanu died today ,his legacy will bring restructuring in nigeria.and the unborn children from the south east will still actualize biafra.so if yoruba youths dont like what nnamdi kanu is doing they should all perish in lagoon .

Nigeria should have Freedom of speech. Mr. Kanu has never kill anyone with gun or bomb unless the radical group in the North. He is just using his month and he should have some right to use his month in anyway he wants to defend himself. Please leave Mr. Kanu alone.
