All they want is for Nnamdi Kanu to remain detained as if that alone will solve the mirage of problems being created daily in Nigeria by northerners. Imagine abducting over 800 school children and the AREWA CONSULTATIVE FORUM, NORTHERN ELDERS FORUM and even the sultan of Sokoto keeping quiet. I can hear them shouting to high heavens that our army should raze the whole of Niger Delta down because of the death of some men in military uniform whose killers the investigators have not confirmed yet.

A real government that is in charge of security will not expose terrorists sponsors and financiers but eliminate them. This shows that the terrorists sponsors are indirectly in control of the Nigeria government
