Nigeria’s presidency has hailed Nigeria’s security agencies for the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), and a recent raid on the residence of Sunday Igboho in Ibadan .
In a statement released by a presidential media aide, Garba Shehu, the presidency also praised international agencies whose cooperation with the National Investigation Agency (NIA) led to the arrest of Kanu.
It added that IPOB, led by the southeast secessionist, became a group notorious for its murderous actions and inflammatory speeches capable of fanning the embers of division in Nigeria, Nigerian Tribune reports.
On why the house of the Yoruba agitator was raided by officers of the Department of State Service (DSS), the presidency added that Igboho’s utterances became injurious, “very hateful and vile laden speeches”.
The statement added that Igboho is a militant ethnic secessionist known to be conducting acts of terror and “disturbing the peace under the guise of protecting fellow kinsmen,”.
