Execution Of Nnamdi Kanu by Buhari would mean restoration of common sense and sanity to the people of South East! That alone to me scores him above 70% in governance..

The question now is, in the face of over 20 million South-Easterners , who are you?
You see, the fact that we have a brain capable of handling our thought processes tends to mislead us into exaggerating our importance or influence in the society at large.

If only you know how barbaric your submissions are, you'll perhaps switch allegiance to North Korea.

I remember a saying from a friend of mine that "America will never dialogue with an individual associated with crime or pay ransome to any". I bet they made it clear enough that thier people understand it and won't use threat to force their government into bending judgment in thier favour.

It's high time the government start taking responsibility and do what needs to be done. No mercy will be the solution.

All criminals found guilty should be dealt with

If Nigeria = America, Then there will be no need for secession, no need for criminality, no need for piracy or bombing of Oil Structures..

Since America is a civilized country where things are done in a democratic way, The Law is Right..

Nigeria is a messed-up state.. Where the ruling body cares for nobody.. These Oil producing states in other countries live good, because the Government provides them with what they lack..

Most of you ipob touts are illiterates I swear. lolx so in your myopic mind, you think the Nigeria military can't deal with ipob terrorists, militancy, boko boys and shiites at the same time? Do you even know that the army is grouped into different divisions?
Currently, DIV 3 of the Nigeria army are the only army personnels battling boko boys in NE( about a little percentage of DIV 3). And the army have about 8 divisions. lolx

Tell them; the Army have not even tapped into the 1st and 2nd Divisions.

Hierarchically, it is organized into the army headquarters, divisions, brigades, battalions / regiments, companies, platoons and sections. A division is a combined-arms organization with 7,000-22,000 military personnel commanded by a major general. It includes minimum of 2 brigadesas manuver elements, an artillery brigade, a division signals and other supporting elements. A brigade is an organization of units, 3 battalions and other support elements. A battalion is a reasonably self sufficient unit. It is the basic unit for combat and support of an army. A platoon consists of 3 sections and commanded by a lieutenant or captain. A section is an organization larger than a squad and smaller than a platoon. The divisions operate combined arms force structures with complements of combat support and combat support services. Each is designed to operate either on its own in special operations or conventionally jointly with the 2 other Services.

The Defence Headquarters on Tuesday vowed that some suspected Pro-Biafran militants, who hijacked a merchant vessel off the coast of Nigeria on Friday would be treated as criminals and saboteurs.

The ship, believed to be an oil tanker, was said to have been hijacked by some militants, who issued a 31-day ultimatum to the Federal Government to release the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu.

While some maritime industry sources claimed that the vessel was an oil tanker seized about 160 kilometres off the Bakassi Peninsula near the border with Cameroon, the Defence Headquarters told the The PUNCH on Tuesday that the ship was seized about 7.5 nautical miles off the Port of Cotonou.

The suspected pro-Biafran militants had hijacked the foreign merchant ship and threatened to blow it up with its crew if the Federal Government failed to release Kanu.

It was learnt that the 31-day ultimatum by the militants was given at the weekend by one ‘General Ben.’

Kanu is being prosecuted by the Department of State Services for running an illegal organisation (IPOB), threatening to break away from Nigeria to create an independent country; importing radio transmitters and making inciting and seditious statements, while his co-accused persons had been charged with possession of firearms.

Defence sources, who claimed knowledge of the hijacking on Tuesday, explained that the operatives of the Nigerian Navy were on the trail of the captured vessel and the hijackers.

One of the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the hijackers had threatened to blow up the ship and its crew members if the government refused to release Kanu, who is currently being detained and undergoing prosecution for treasonable felony, after 31 days.

The Director of Defence Information, Brig. Gen. Rabe Abubakar, confirmed on Tuesday that some militants hijacked a vessel on Friday off the Nigerian coast, but threatened that the military would deal decisively with those he called criminals and saboteurs.

He said the vessel, named MT LEON DIAS, was hijacked outside Nigeria’s territorial waters about 7.5 nautical miles off the Port of Cotonou, adding that the vessel was under the watch of the Navy of Benin Republic.

Abubakar added, “Well, I can confirm to you that a vessel, a tanker with the name MT LEON DIAS with number 9279927, was hijacked 7.5 nautical miles off Cotonou port. The ship is presently in Benin Republic. It is a merchant ship.

“I must add that on this issue of militancy, there are no more militants now, what we have are criminals. The Amnesty programme has taken care of the militants.

“The military will treat those behind such acts as criminal and saboteurs; the law will take its course; the security agencies will do their job.


“The country’s interest is above any other person’s interest. We have to work towards the enthronement of peace and stability because development can only take place in an atmosphere of peace.”

He said the military would treat those behind such crimes in the nation’s maritime domain as criminals and saboteurs.

Abubakar admitted that there “were some sort of threats,” but he was not specific on the 31-day ultimatum issued by the hijackers.

A Bulgarian-based Maritime News had said, “The group boarded the tanker from two fast boats and took control of the vessel and locked the crew in the mess room before heading for the Niger Delta,” reports AP.

A factional leader of the Movement for the Actualisation of a Sovereign State of Biafra, Uchenna Madu, had also explained that the said ‘General Ben’ was one of the Niger Delta militants, who had volunteered to join forces with the secessionists groups.

“Ben is not a separatist but some Niger Delta militants have shown interest in working with us,” said Madu.

. I hope they are already treating fulani herdsmen as criminals. They can't treat people who maim and kill as criminals but wants to treat people who pose no threat to citizens as criminals. Misplaced priorities.

A reasonable govt will use diplomacy in handling such situations to ensure it doesn't get out of hand considering present situation of the country.
