Mixed Reactions As IPOB Leader, Nnamdi Kanu Is Arrested
Nigerians react online as it was earlier reported that the Federal Government has arrested the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu.
The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami(SAN), who made the disclosure to journalists on Tuesday, revealed that Kanu was arrested and brought back to Nigeria on Sunday.
He said the arrest followed a collaborative effort between security agencies in Nigeria and Interpol.
Malami further disclosed that Kanu would be taken before the Federal High Court in Abuja for the continuation of his trial on charges bordering on terrorism, treasonable felony, unlawful possession of firearms and management of an unlawful society.
Reacting, some Nigerians on social media said the arrest will end the activities of IPOB and ESN, while others believe that it may lead to a renewed tension in the South East.

Exposed!! Popular Abuja doctor revealed how men can naturally and permanently cure poor erection, quick ejaculation, small and shameful manhood without side effects. Even if you are hypertensive or diabetic . Stop the use of hard drugs for sex!! It kills!
@Ephis_xiv, “Nnamdi Kanu was arrested last weekend. Extradited to Nigeria.
Expect high tensions in the East. Stay safe my people. South East people, stay safe!”
@Stallonez, “Nnamdi Kanu has been arrested far away outside the country, got me wondering how bandits in Nigeria are still going about freely, with Gumi as advocate.”
@Adeniyi_sunny, “Nnamdi Kanu’s two-faced personality, living abroad, but causing violence at home, and rise of IPOB as terrorist organization. Igbo cannot be terrorist.”
@Hehgshells, “They’ve arrested Nnamdi Kanu and we all know he’s never seeing the light of day again.”
@chidi_esq, “Nnamdi Kanu arrested and extradited to Nigeria I’m hearing? Interesting development.”
@Ibmnation, “If @MaziNnamdiKanu has been arrested that means we are one way close to victory, the greatest mistake this clueless administration will do is to arrest Nnamdi kanu again#.”
Anakop, “If this is true then a perfect setup for him to realize his ambition dead or alive. But on a larger scale, I think this is a fake news.”
@Wale_of_pluto, “Give it to Buhari on this. He went after Nnamdi Kanu and got him.
That should be the end of ESN and IPOB.”
@dondekojo, “Nnamdi Kanu arrested and extradited to Nigeria. You figure they’d hold him for long this time. Videos of him soliciting for arms against Nigeria and subsequently setting up ESN won’t help his case at all. Really hope FG respect human rights in their dealings.”
@Adeniyi sunday, “Why Igbo people allow Nnamdi Kanu, a conman, to be conning them? Igbos, you have to rise. He wants to destroy Onyeama. He wants to destroy Ekweremadu. He wants to destroy everybody and the Igbo people are keeping quiet.#KanuIsATerrorist #KanuExposed #DelegitimizeKanu.”
