Free Nnamdi Kanu Protest: Group warns IPOB, Sowore against destruction of govt facilities
The Progressives Unity and Development Forum, PUDF, has cautioned the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and rights activist, Omoyele Sowore against the planned nationwide protest aimed at pressuring the Federal Government to release Nnamdi Kanu.
Ekwutosblog recalls that Sowore had insisted that the planned #FreeNnamdiKanuNow march to the Presidential Villa would hold on October 20, describing the date as “sacrosanct”.
But in a statement signed by its National Coordinator, Mr. Abraham Nwachukwu, the Progressives Unity and Development Forum expressed concern that the protest could be hijacked by hoodlums and political opportunists who might use the event to unleash violence and attack government buildings.
“Sowore should be told now, before the D-day, that similar protests in the past spiraled out of control, with hoodlums taking advantage to loot and destroy public and private properties,” the statement warned.
The group cited previous incidents in Kano, Kaduna and Lagos where peaceful demonstrations turned violent and resulted in the destruction of public infrastructure.
“Against this background, we are calling on IPOB, Sowore, and other supporters of the planned protest to shelve the action and adopt more civic and responsible means of engagement,” the statement added.
“Nobody has a monopoly of violence, and we are issuing this warning to prevent any action that could provoke counter-reactions or endanger national peace.”
The group urged security agencies to remain vigilant and appealed to Nigerians to avoid being used by those “seeking to destabilize the country under the guise of activism”.
