Support
Ireporter have it that the former militants
under the guise of Niger Delta Peoples
Democratic Front (NDPDF) issued the threat
at the weekend in Port Harcourt, the Rivers
state capital.
The leader of the group, Precious Iyoyo (aka
General Playboy) advised President
Muhammadu Buhari to immediately release
Kanu, in order to reduce the growing tension
in the country.
According to him, the continued detention of
Kanu after a competent court had granted
him bail was provocative and dictatorial. He
also demanded the immediate pullout of the
military personnel drafted to Niger Bridge in
Onitsha, Anambra state, to allow free flow of
traffic for the “innocent citizens of South-
South and South East.”
Iyoyo further hinted that the former warlords
would not fold their hands and watch their
brothers and sisters from the South-South
and South East geo-political zones “chased,
tortured or enslaved with impunity in our
land.”
“The Nigerian government is dangerously
pushing us to the wall. The unprovoked mass
shooting and killing of our brothers and
sisters will no longer be tolerated,” he said.
