The Pan-Yoruba socio-cultural group, Afenifere, on Sunday echoed the criticism of the Federal Government by Ohanaeze Ndigbo over the planned re-arrest of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, accusing it of double standard unhealthy for the country.

The group’s publicity secretary, Yinka Odumakin, stated that Kanu’s re-arrest would heat up the polity, advising dialogue with IPOB instead.

He noted that since the government failed to arrest the Arewa youths who issued the Igbo quit notice, it amounted to double standard to seek Kanu’s re-arrest.

Odumakin said, “The idea of re-arresting Kanu will overheat the polity, more so when youths in the north that issued a notice to quit were not arrested. Even after the Kaduna State Governor and the Vice President ordered their arrest, the police did nothing.

“The Minister of Internal Affairs said the youths were not arrested because they claimed they were misquoted, but a few days ago, the youths in the presence of some governors withdrew the order.”
