A Second Republic Lawmaker, Junaid Mohammed, has warned
that any arrest of Arewa youths over the quit notice to Igbos living in the
North, would lead to wanton killings and destructions in the the region, ahead
of October 1.
The Northern Elder, made this shocking statement during a
chat with Saturday PUNCH .
He said: “The threat to arrest the youths 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.”
