IPOB HAS ISSUED A WARNING TO THE AREWA GROUP FOR ADVISING BUHARI NOT TO RELEASE NNAMDI KANU

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has condemned the Arewa Community in Southern Nigeria's demand that President Muhammadu Buhari release its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, before May 29.

IPOB has advised the Arewa community to cease slandering Kanu's release.

Musa Saidu, the Community's leader, made the call while criticizing Ohanaeze President-General Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu's statement.

In response, IPOB spokesman Emma Powerful labeled the Arewa community as a mushroom group exhibiting its ignorance for all to see.

In a statement, Powerful said: "We, the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, under the command of Nnamdi Kanu, condemn the unguarded statements credited to non-existent and so- called Southern Arewa Forum against the unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu.

"It is obvious that the mushroom Arewa group is displaying their ignorance and cluelessness to the public.

"They forgot that Nnamdi Kanu KANU'S case is in the hands of the Supreme Court of Nigeria to decide, not theirs.

"It's unfortunate that we were forced into unity with people who don't subscribe to the rule of law. These people have dragged the reputation of Nigeria through the mud. Today, Nigeria is considered a pariah state among civilized nations."

The Arewa group was advised by IPOB that Kanu's case has both local and international implications.
