hehehehe.......A Second Republic lawmaker and Northern elder statesman, Junaid
Mohammed, has warned that the arrest of any member of the Arewa youths
that issued quit notice on Igbos would lead to serious crisis in the
region.
He gave the warning when he spoke with Punch yesterday, accusing the
Federal Government of demonstrating irresponsibility in its selective
handling of the threats from the southern and northern regions of the
country.
He said, “The threat to arrest the youth, in my opinion, is not only counter-productive but also inappropriate.
“This is because ideally, with the position of things, every Nigerian
has the right to live and conduct their businesses in any part of the
country.
“But the Federal Government left their toes behind when they allowed
the IPOB, which is being financed by the Igbo political and business
elites both in the country and in the Diaspora to be issuing statements
freely.
“Therefore , any attempt to arrest Arewa youths will lead to
problems. I am resident in Kano State and the last time the Kaduna State
Government brought up the issue of arrest, there would have been
violence if an attempt to arrest anybody by the police had been made.”
