The former minister of aviation, Femi Fani-
Kayode, has reacted to the reported Nnamdi
Kanu house arrest after the Nigerian army
reportedly surrounded his house in Umuahia,
Abia state.
Recall, Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor had
yesterday cried out to the public over concerns
about the IPOB leader’s safety, claiming his
client has been placed under house arrest by the
Nigerian army.
Kanu’s counsel, also claimed soldiers allegedly
invaded the IPOB leader’s country home in
Umuahia
Now, the former minister, who took to his
Facebook page condemned the action of
president Muhammadu Buhari vowing to hold
him responsible should anything happen to
Kanu.
He wrote;
The behaviour of the military against a
defenceless and unarmed civilian population in
Abia state is reprehensible.
What has Nnamdi Kanu or indeed the Igbo
people done to warrant this primitive show of
barbarism and force? We are on the brink of a
total breakdown of law and order and a
prolonged and bloody armed conflict.
I urge restraint on all sides and I call on
President Muhammadu Buhari to withdraw the
army from the east and leave Nnamdi Kanu
alone.
Terrorising your own people with soldiers is not
the act of a courageous man but rather the act
of a tyrant, a coward and a bully.
We call on the international community to bear
witness to what is unfolding in Nigeria and we
will hold Buhari responsible and accountable in
the event of any loss of life.
