The Presidency on Tuesday praised the nation’s security agencies for their collaboration in the operations that led to the arrest of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.

In a statement, Malam Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to the President (Media & Publicity), accused Kanu of inflicting hardship on Nigerians.

He said the international operation against Kanu was closely coordinated leading to his arrest.

Shehu also justified the raid on the home of Sunday Igboho, self-acclaimed activist, whom he described as a militant.

He said despite criticisms, the Buhari administration respects the rights of citizens.

The statement read: “Last week, we saw the enhanced collaboration of the Nigerian law enforcement agencies, as they executed with great synchronisation arrests of individuals who had inflicted pain and hardships on fellow citizens.

“The subversive leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) a group known for its murderous actions and virulent messaging was detained as a result of cross-border cooperation.

“This international operation was executed in a closely coordinated fashion following which he was handed over to our National Intelligence Agency, and then returned to Nigeria to face the Law.

“The violence inspired by IPOB has led to hundreds of fatalities, particularly targeted at government assets and law enforcement agents.  Additionally, there have been at last count, fifty (55) separate violent attacks, heavily concentrated in the South-East, which heaped further hardship on our honest and hardworking citizens, preventing them from earning their livelihood and going about their normal lives.

“The government had long been monitoring the activities of IPOB and had strong cause to believe that their funding sources include proceeds of suspected illicit criminal activities. By this singular action of our security forces, sanity, calm and peace have been returned to our communities who previously lived in constant fear of these misguided elements.

“In furtherance of continued diligent work, the State Security Service on Thursday, 1st July raided the residence of a militant ethnic Secessionist, who has also been conducting acts of terror and disturbing the peace under the guise of protecting fellow “kinsmen”.

“His seditious utterances and antics, which he is known to have publicly expressed, have over time morphed into very hateful and vile laden speeches.  It must be highlighted that the government respects the fundamental rights of citizens to express their views and recognizes this as a democratic tenet.

“However, any attempt to build an armoury coupled with plans either subtle or expressed to undermine our unity as a nation will not be condoned.

Security agencies should treat them same way

“Mr President’s directives to Security Services regarding anyone seen to be carrying arms, particularly AK-47 are clear and require no further illumination.  Assault weapons are not tools of peace-loving people and as such, regardless of who they are and where they are from, the security agencies should treat them all the same.

“The successes of our security agencies must be commended as they have demonstrated significant deftness, guile and secrecy in carrying out these missions.  This level of professionalism must be sustained and brought to bear as we focus on extracting from our society those who have found a new trade-in targeting students, rural dwellers and our citizens in the North-West.  The nation recognises their efforts and sacrifice.”

N

A stupid statement.

The actions of this regime is no different from a militant and a terrorist organisation.

The presidency really dealt with Nna mumu di Kanu.
Imagine after capturing a fugitive, you held him in an unknown location, tortured and dehumanized him. Then brought him before the court to answer to his crime with his best of clothes (Fendi). Haba Govamenti!

As usual its "presidency says"... NOT " President says".

Only in Nigeria.

When KANU told you all Buhari was long dead , you all laughed right? Enjoy the fruits of your st.upidity.

It is not over yet until it is over.
