He said:

"The federal government should be careful how they handle the issue of Nnamdi Kanu to avert the issue snowballing into ethnic conflicts. This man has done nothing wrong to be subjected to any kind of arrest. Those terrorizing the country are at their backyard."

Another Facebook user, Ngozi Busari, urged the federal government to address hunger in the country and make life bearable for the people.

FG must go after Sunday Igboho, other secessionists

Adam Hashim hailed the arrest of Kanu, urging the security agents to go after a Yoruba activist, Sunday Igboho, members of Miyetti Allah and others terrorising the country.

In his opinion, Ebenezer George, another Facebook user, said Kanu's enemies are scattered everywhere. He described his arrest as being premeditated.

George said:

"His enemies are scattered everywhere. It might be a planned work. If he is brought before the court, everyone in the court is his enemy, what do we expect the sentence to be other than death. I think the problem is already around the corner."
