Kogi: Ujache Igala Calls For Arrest Of IPOB Leader, Nnamdi Kanu by kogistar: 10:32am On Jun 06, 2017
Kogi Socio-cultural group,
Ujache Igala Association has
called for arrest and
prosecution of the Indigenous
People of Biafra, IPOB, leader,
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu for
allegedly mapping out Kogi
and Benue states as part of
Biafra territory.
They, therefore, demanded his
immediate arrest.
In a communiqué signed by
the group’s National Chairman,
Chief Goodman Akwu which
was made available to
journalists in Abuja, the group
described the claim as
‘madness of the 21st century’.
It wondered the parameters
that made Biafra agitators
think that Kogi and Benue
states were part of them.
“There is no cosmogony
affiliation or cultural affinity
whatsoever of Biafra with Kogi
or Benue and mapping out
those states as part of Biafra
cannot be less than a show of
hallucination.
“It is high time the government
overcame its insouciance and
nipped this audacity of
seditious act on time”, the
group said.
The group warned against a
repeat of civil war which
happened between 1967 and
1970 “when most of those
class of Nnamdi Kanu and his
co-travellers have not yet been
born,” saying the elderly ones
in Igbo land who saw it all and
escaped by the whiskers were
not fair to the younger
generations for not telling
them the truth, hence, the zone
was gradually being receded
into anarchy.

They demanded from Biafra
agitators to explain how they
arrived at making Kogi and
Benue state part of Biafra
geographical area, while
reminding them of Kogi and
Benue people’s historical
antecedents of warfare.
“Kogi and Benue people in the
middle belt are aborigines of
Kwararafa Kingdom and it is
important that our historical
antecedents of warfare should
be understood as well as the
Biafra agitators should be
reminded that these are no
cowards. It is
incomprehensible making Kogi
and Benue as part of Biafra,
they should try other zones.
“We have noticed with rude
shock that the Igbo socio-
cultural group, Ohaneze
Ndigbo was directly supporting
IPOB instead of advising them
on the consequence their
action would generate”, they
said.
The group pointed that
democratic regime and
freedom of expression did not
support secession under any
guise as it were, explaining
that the IPOB leader, Nnamdi
Kanu had breached the bail
conditions that left him off the
hook.
It added that IPOB leader’s
dual citizenship still subsisted
despite court decision, saying
that if anything happened, he
would leave the country.
The group called on the
Inspector General of Police,
Alhaji Ibrahim Idris to arrest
the IPOB leader for
prosecution within two weeks,
failure with which they would
take to streets in peaceful
protests.
According to them,
government was under-
estimating activities of IPOB,
MASSOB and others at the
peril of the nation, urging that
the Police, Department of State
Services (DSS) to investigate
cache of arms recently ceased
by the Nigeria Customs in
Lagos.
They asked the Nigeria
Customs to disclose publicly,
the outcome of their
investigations into those
behind the importation of
arms, noting that rumours
were linking the arms to IPOB.
“We suspect complicity on part
of IPOB in the recent seizure
of cache of arms by the
Nigeria Customs and we call
on the Nigeria Police and
Department of State Services
(DSS) for a thorough
investigation”, the group
maintained.
