The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, has withheld its ruling on the Leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu’s immediate return to Kuje Prison, for breaching his bail conditions.

The country is sitting on a time bomb. POPULARITY Buhari ought to take into cognizance, Nnamdi Kanu’s popularity and support base. There are millions online and offline who subscribe to the vision of IPOB. The government will need to take the sentiments of these citizens into consideration, and empathize with them, without necessarily aligning with their mission. HEATING UP THE POLITY Sending Nnamdi Kanu back to prison, as is now being feared in some corners, may further heat up the polity. The worst, it may lead to avoidable civilian disobedience. Buhari must find a way to deal with Kanu’s Biafra agitations RIGHTS Self determination is among the known laws at the UN which Nigeria is signatory to. President Buhari himself made that case for the people of Western Sahara and Palestine at a recent UN summit giving the world reasons why these countries should be independent, and that ‘self determination is the sacred right of every individual to exercise.’ POSSIBLE LOCAL

Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has promised to “protect the lives” of his country’s people after North Korea fired a missile over northern Japan this morning. The missile was launched from near North Korean capital Pyongyang and flew about 2,700 kilometres, reaching an altitude of about 550km. It flew over Japan’s northernmost main island of Hokkaido before breaking into three pieces and falling into the sea about 1,180 km to the east of Japan. Air raid warnings sounded in northern Japan as the missile approached, with people being warned to take shelter in basements. Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said the missile launch posed an “unprecedented threat” and was a clear violation of United Nations resolutions “This ballistic missile launch appeared to fly over our territory,” the top government spokesman told reporters. “It is an unprecedented, serious and grave threat to our nation.” “We will make utmost efforts to firmly protect the lives of the peopl

Following the unscrupulous move to re-arrest Nnamdi Kanu, an international offshore battle commandant of the Isreali Defence Force (Name Withheld) Has issued a serious stern warning to the Nigerian government and her security forces, stating that any attempt to arrest Kanu will ignite and trigger the beginning of an unwanted situation with the country. And the IDF will not sit and watch you repeat the senseless and bias prosecution melted on innocent harmless agitators. From the time’s past records have it that the Youths from the Northern part of Nigeria (Arewa Youth Coalition) have made several threats and treasonable offences, not even that they were not arrested by never did the sick puppet president reprimand them. If Nigerian government are serious about the unity and equity of that country they should take a bold step to arrest the northern youth and broker a dialogue with the Biafra freedom agitators. We will proliferate Nigeria disastrously if the “We will proliferate

The Eastern Consultative Assembly (ECA), has warned that any attempt to re-arrest Kanu by those opposed to the restructuring of the country into six zones would set Nigeria on fire and alter the country’s political structure permanently. A statement entitled “Endless Mistakes of a Parochial and Ethnic-Driven Government,” by the Secretary of ECA, Evangelist Elliot Ugochukwu-Uko, in Enugu, yesterday, said: “The agenda to re-arrest Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, agreed by the political class, sponsored by those fiercely opposed to the restructuring of Nigeria and endorsed by those who hate our people with passion, will permanently alter the Nigeria political firmament.

The Nigerian Government has given reason it cannot arrest members of the coalition of Northern youths. The Federal Government said the group had already stated that they were misquoted by the media. Addressing newsmen on the issue, the Minister of Interior, Abdulrahman Dambazau said in Abuja on Saturday that, “The group that called themselves coalition of Arewa Associations that held a press conference in Kaduna where they gave October 1 ultimatum to the Igbos to quit the north as a response to what they termed as issue of separatist agenda of the IPOB and claim that there are lots of incitement from the Igbos against the northerners to which the Kaduna State governor responded that they should be arrested for what they reported. “Of course they later claimed that the media quoted them out of context.

PARIS, AUGUST 27, 2017: (DGW) The United Nations, UN, has called for the arrest and prosecution of Northern youths that on June 6 issued a “quit notice” to Igbo living in the region. Though the coalition last week announced the withdrawal of the notice, it vowed to pursue their other listed demands up to the UN. The Northern youths’ demands include that the government labels the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, as a terrorist organization and the immediate arrest of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu. They also want government to conduct a referendum to allow the Igbos have “their Republic of Biafra”. However, in a statement issued in Geneva, Switzerland, the UN called on the Nigerian Government to also take immediate steps to arrest those behind a song that seeks to disparage the Igbos. The statement was signed by Special Rapporteur on Contemporary forms of Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance, Mutuma Ruteere; Special Rapporteur on Minority Issues, Fern
