Leader of the Indigenous
People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has said President Muhammadu Buhari and
the Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Lawal Daura,
should be arrested and detained for disobeying court orders.
Nnamdi Kanu advised those calling for his arrest
to direct their anger towards Buhari.
“President Buhari was the
one who broke the laws; he disobeyed the direct court order to release me
unconditionally, not once, but twice”, he told The Sun.
“Honourable Shuaibu of Wuse magistrate court
granted me bail, Buhari did not release me. Justice Ademola granted me
unconditional bail, Buhari and his cousin, Lawal Daura, refused to honour that
court order.
“They are the ones who should be detained for
flagrant disobedience to court orders. I want the northern Arewa irredentists
to call for the arrest of Buhari and Daura for flouting court order after court
order asking for my release.
“It smacks of hypocrisy and absolute cowardice
that people who could not rise up in defence of the law when a court made a
judicial pronouncement are now clamouring for my arrest because they believe it
is easy to do so.
“Before now, Nnamdi Kanu
is Igbo, he is a Biafran and can be arrested and nothing will happen but that
would not be anymore, it would no longer happen,” he said.
Nigerian government has approached a court in
Abuja to seek the revocation of Kanu’s bail on the grounds that he had violated
the conditions under which he was released.
