A group, under the aegis of Igbo Youths in Nigeria and Diaspora (IYINAD), has petitioned the British High Commission in Abuja demanding for the extradition of the leader of the Indigenous Peoples Of Biafra (IPOB) NnamdiKanu over his unguarded utterances and incitement of violence in Nigeria, especially the ordering of his nascent group, the Eastern Security Network (ESN) to attack police and military personnel in the South-Eastern part of Nigeria. The group also cited his previous unguarded utterances that have led to the breakdown of law and order in the South-Eastern part of Nigeria including Abia, and Rivers state during the #EndSARS protest which led to the deaths of policemen and military personnel in Aba andOyigbo respectively.
This is in addition to the destruction of an unspecified number of trucks and goods belonging to Northern Nigerians.
Commenting on the recent burning of police stations and the killing of law enforcement agents, the convener of IYINADMrChukwuma Dike called on the UK authorities to arrest and repatriate NnamdiKanu to answer for his countless crimes against Igbo people and the Nigerian state in general. He bemoaned the dangerous rhetoric spewed by the IPOB leader which he says has pumped up the ignorant of his misinformed followers to target law enforcement agents and by so doing putting the lives and properties of people in the South East at the risk of a military onslaught without recourse to the collateral damage(s) that may come with it.
The IPOB leader recently threatened to send his ESN after the Obi of Onitsha, His Majesty Igwe Nnaemeka Alfred Ugochukwu Achebe for floating the Onitsha Ado Security Network to improve on security in his domain. This is one of his numerous threats to political leaders in Igbo land, the most prominent being an order for the then President General of OhanezeNdigbo Chief NniaNwodo to be stoned to death and the 100 million naira bounty he placed on the head of the Rivers state governor NyesomWike for "inviting the military to Rivers state"
