UK based
security expert, Abayomi Mumuni says Nnamdi Kanu the leader of the
Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB),
should be treated like a terrorist.
According
to him, 'I did mention this few months
ago. I warned against provocative utterances during the IPOB clash with the
Arewa Youths, but the Igbo leaders refused to adhere to my warning. They
maintained criminal silence. Mr President has given enough room for both
Governors and the elders of the affected states to call the agitators to order
but they failed to do so, simply because they are cowards. Many of them are
also corrupt elements without self-pride'.
He went on
to say, 'so, why blame the Federal
Government for deploying the Nigerian Army to Aba and Umuahia when the State
Governor allows the criminals to take laws into their hands?'.
'The
Operation Python Dance II has no negative implication. I do not see any
negative consequence to calling the military to take charge. The act needed a
drastic approach to avert reoccurrences, like guerrilla warfare. Currently,
Boko Haram has been dragged to a buffer zone where they operate in isolation,
and Nigerians should not allow another terrorist group to spring up from
nowhere. They should be crippled immediately. It is my belief that
military intervention will bring normalcy to the affected regions. The Federal
Government, the South East Governors and the elders of the region should
thereafter engage in peaceful dialogue to bring lasting peace to the region' he concluded.
