A coalition of youth groups in the South West namely the Yoruba Youth Congress (YYC) and the Coalition of South West Group have warned the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to jettison his plan to organize a rally in Lagos as his safety will not be guaranteed.


The National Chairman of the groups, Prince Dapo Adepoju who gave the warning on Wednesday in Akure, the Ondo state capital stated that since the South West region is not part of Biafra, there was no need for such rally in the Lagos. He warned that while Kanu is free enjoy his right to freedom of movement as enshrined in the constitution, the region will not tolerate the violent procession that often greets Kanu's visit in the South East.


“In as much as we are not saying Kanu cannot come to Lagos, but he should not bring his madness to Lagos; we urge him to limit his unreasonable violent procession to the southeast. We want to warn Nnamdi Kanu for the sake of whatever he believes in and for the sake of millions of Igbos who have been living and doing business in Lagos even before his birth to stay clear of Lagos"


He added that the “efforts of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and other eminent Yoruba leaders in making sure Lagos and indeed southwest states remain the most peaceful part of Nigeria cannot be truncated by one boy called Kanu"


Adepoju reiterated the group's call for the arrest of Kanu. “Again, we are calling on Acting President Yemi Osinbajo to order the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu. Despite the fact that we were part of the youths who initially begged the Federal government for his release, but as it looks now, he’s provoking the youths.

 

Every Nigerian knows that Kanu has flouted his bail conditions and with this, we are sure that Kanu’s safety is not guaranteed if he dares to disrupt the peace of innocent Lagos residents just like he’s doing in the southeast" he added.
