Nigeria Made Mistake Killing ESN Commander Ikonso: Fani-kayode by deantimes(op): 11:40am On Apr 25, 2021
The killing of Ikonso, a commander of Eastern Security Network (ESN) is eliciting reactions across Nigeria.

While the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) has described his death as painful, the secessionist group said he was killed after refusing mouth watering offers form state actors to compromise.

The secessionist group said Ikonso was ambushed contrary to the narrative that security agencies raided the hideout of the armed militia.

On social media, his death has triggered mixed reactions, with many describing it as a mistake, an opinion Femi Fani-Kayode, a former Aviation Minister agrees with.

Mr Fani-Kayode while reacting on Sunday in a tweet cited a similar situation that radicalized Boko Haram terrorists who took up arms against the state when its founder, Mohammed Yusuf, was killed.

The former minister who described as unfortunate the killing of the deceased warlord said it is the greatest mistake the Nigerian government has made after killing Mr Yusuf.

“The biggest mistake that the Nigerian state has made since the killing of Mohammed Yusuf, the erstwhile leader of Boko Haram, is the killing of Ikonso the IPOB & ESN Commander a few days ago,” the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain said. “This single act has radicalised IPOB & will have consequences. It is sad & unfortunate.”

You can only be radicalized if you carry the Quran and believe that your reward for killing is 72 virgins and all the wine you could possibly drink

Very big mistake. Security agent should be walking in hundreds now.
Re: Nigeria Made Mistake Killing ESN Commander Ikonso: Fani-kayode by NgeneUkwenu(f):
The security agencies should not relent in flushing out brainwashed Terrorists and miscreants out of the South East...

[b]IPOB terrorists leaders are relying on propaganda and outright falsehood to keep their followers caged and win more gullible followers to their side.

This is not very different from what the same politicians they condemn and aim to replace do...

They recruited about 5000 jobless Yoots from the South East to flood Facebook, twitter, Nairaland etc..to support any propaganda comment on IpOB activities...Don't be deceived...Nigeria is winning the war on terror..

Exactly! This guy's should think out of the box. They should study the approach of president suharto of indonesia, most times we loose when we approach an issue without envisaging the consequences. It can be likened to killing the male lion in a pride this obviously does not stop the pride from hunting.

All federal security agencies in the south east should better get ready because unlike Boko Haram terrorists that attacks innocent civilians, these guys will come for them and I don't think civilians in the area will shield security agencies when the heat is on.

Henceforth kanu, IPOB and ESN member should stop posting any of their activities on social media on how they are going to secure and protect the southeast people.

Femi Fani Kayode is a mad man. He is using indirect way to incite the members of IPOB and ESN to take up arms against the government and the public. Well, if they like, let them listen to him, all will be at their own peril.

Bro think outside the box, true they might start with security outfits in the east and I think if they attempt and conquer, security outfits outside the east will now become targets

Son of anarchy.

But you've been the one terrorizing the internet space with your unflinching support for bokoharam, bandits, Islamic terrorists and anything anti Igbo.

So what's your definition of terrorist when you display all the qualities of a terrorist?
Re: Nigeria Made Mistake Killing ESN Commander Ikonso: Fani-kayode by BosseJ: 11:57am On Apr 25, 2021
The igbos have to be careful with they way they pursue their agitation, before they allow their region to be turned into a warfront/battleground. It is easier to destroy than to rebuild. Unfortunately, igbos don't really have much to bargain with, that's why their agitation is not being taken seriously by the FG.

If it were the Niger Deltan militants that were this agitated, the FG would have called them for a meeting, because their region is the treasure chest of Nigeria. Just blowing up some critical oil and gas infrastructure in the Niger Delta is enough to bring the FG to its knees. And to make matter worse for the igbos, they are landlocked, while their SS neighbours are apparently not in support of their agitation, so even if they were to get Biafra without the support of the SW and SS, they would still be landlocked and surrounded by Nigerian territory. Therefore, Nnamdi Kanu should think very well about how he goes about his struggle, and not jeopardise the hard work igbos put into rebuilding their region after the civil war.

They shouldn't just turn the south east to battle ground.

ESN members don't hide under in a faceless forum like NAiraland, show your face, make your identity know and stop ranting like a goat that drank rat poison.
You need to lead by example.

I haven't seen you displaying your pictures and identity on nairaland.

Pls do that before telling others to do same.

Very funny pipu. cheesy
