A socio-cultural group in the confluence state has called for the prosecution of Nnamdi Kanu for adding Kogi State to the arm of the proposed Biafra nation.
Kogi Socio-cultural group, Ujache Igala Association has called for arrest and prosecution of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu for allegedly mapping out Kogi and Benue states as part of Biafra territory.
They, therefore, demanded Kanu’s immediate arrest. In a communiqué signed by the group’s National Chairman, Chief Goodman Akwu and Secretary, which was made available to journalists in Abuja, the group described the claim as ‘madness of the 21st century’.
It wondered the parameters that made Biafra agitators think that Kogi and Benue states were part of them.
“There is no cosmogony affiliation or cultural affinity whatsoever of Biafra with Kogi or Benue and mapping out those states as part of Biafra cannot be less than a show of hallucination.
“It is high time the government overcame its insouciance and nipped this audacity of seditious act on time”, the group said.
The group warned against a repeat of civil war which happened between 1967 and 1970 “when most of those class of Nnamdi Kanu and his co-travellers have not yet been born,” saying the elderly ones in Igbo land who saw it all and escaped by the whiskers were not fair to the younger generations for not telling them the truth, hence, the zone was gradually being receded into anarchy.
They demanded from Biafra agitators to explain how they arrived at making Kogi and Benue state part of Biafra geographical area, while reminding them of Kogi and Benue people’s historical antecedents of warfare.
