Reacting to the arrest, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu blasted Imo State Government and the Commissioner of Police for not detaining Fulani groups that on several occasions migrated in to the state via trailers during the interstates lockdown.
Kanu said in a statement,“WE can pretend all we like, we can feign ignorance of Fulani vindictive and lopsided governance till thy kingdom come, one thing we cannot escape from is payback and retribution.”
“Can somebody please explain to me why a group of young Igbo men socializing and peacefully going about their business in their own home state on Sunday will be arrested, humiliated, tortured and detained by Fulani army & police officers while Fulani youths in hundreds of Dangote trucks trooping down to the east, having defied interstate lockdowns and curfews are treated like VIPs and given a police escort to their destinations? The UK in Nigeria hope you are watching and documenting what the monster Nigerian Police Force you created are doing.”
“I want to ask the Imo State Police Commissioner and his Police Public Relations Officer Orlando Ikeokwu how many trailer load of curfew defying Fulanis they have so far arrested in Imo State? This level of humiliation cannot be allowed to continue. “
“Apologists for Nigga-area and their collaborators like Imo State Commissioner for Police MUST be held accountable at the right time and that time is fast approaching.”
