Nnamdi Kanu, the self-acclaimed leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), is, no doubt, facing serious charges.
In fact, Bashir Ahmad, a presidential media aide, on Tuesday, June 29, stated that the head of the proscribed southeast group was known to have instigated violence that claimed the lives of many persons.

In his opinion, he noted that the leader of the proscribed group did nothing to warrant his extradition and eventual arrest by the security personnel.
He said:
"The federal government should be careful how they handle the issue of Nnamdi Kanu to avert the issue leading 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."
