Nigerians have taken to social media to react to the arrest of self-acclaimed Biafran leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
EkoHotBlog had earlier reported that Kanu has been arrested by a combined team of Nigerian and foreign security agents in a coordinated interception.
The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN, on Tuesday, at an emergency media briefing in his office confirmed the arrest of Kanu.
Reacting, some Nigerians on social media said the arrest will end the activities of IPOB and ESN, while others believe that it may lead to a renewed tension in the South East. Others believe it shouldn’t be difficult for the Nigerian government to arrest bandits terrorizing the North-East
Here are some comments as gathered by EkoHotBlog
@Adeniyi_sunny, “Nnamdi Kanu’s two-faced personality, living abroad, but causing violence at home, and rise of IPOB as terrorist organization. Igbo cannot be terrorist.”
@Stallonez, “Nnamdi Kanu has been arrested far away outside the country, got me wondering how bandits in Nigeria are still going about freely, with Gumi as advocate.”

@dondekojo, “Nnamdi Kanu arrested and extradited to Nigeria. You figure they’d hold him for long this time. Videos of him soliciting for arms against Nigeria and subsequently setting up ESN won’t help his case at all. Really hope FG respect human rights in their dealings.”
@Wale_of_pluto, “Give it to Buhari on this. He went after Nnamdi Kanu and got him. This should be the end of ESN and IPOB.”
@Hehgshells, “They’ve arrested Nnamdi Kanu and we all know he’s never seeing the light of day again.”
