The controversial leader of the coalition of Arewa Youths Forum, Alhaji Yerima Shettima has called for more stringent measures against the leader and members of the proscribed separatist group, the Indigenous People of Biafra ( IPOB ).
Yerima who blamed the notoriety of IPOB for the quit notice earlier served the Igbo residing in the North, insisted that the prescription of IPOB by the Federal Government was not enough to serve as a deterrent to other groups threatening the peace and unity of the country.
“The Government should take more decisive action against Kanu and his dissident group to discourage any group from taking laws into their hands”.
He explained that the action of the Arewa Forum was largely misunderstood by majority of Nigerians who thought it was a plot to unleash mayhem on the Igbo in the North, adding that it was a retaliation to the continued insult and denigration of the North and other parts of Nigeria by the IPOB leader.
