Biafra Activist, Nnamdi Kanu Advises Amotekun Concerning Securing South West (ICYMI)

Biafra political activist, Nnamdi Kanu has advised the Western Nigeria Security Network, codenamed Amotekun, to use sophisticated weapons in their campaign against killer herdsmen.

Kanu, the diaspora-based controversial leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) said this on Friday while reacting to Governor of Bauchi, Bala Mohammed's comments that herdsmen carry AK-47 against cattle rustlers for self-defence.

Mohammed had said, "Because the Fulani man is practising the tradition of pastoralism, he has been exposed to the vagaries of the forest, cattle rustlers who carry guns, kill him and take away his commonwealth, which is the cows.

"He has no option than to carry AK47 because the society and the government are not protecting him, what is his fault; it's the fault of the government and the people.

"You don't criminalise all of them, because, in every tribe, there are criminals."

Amotekun has been politicalised. What a shame! How can Amotekun with Pump Action/Dane Gun engage the 4th most dangerous terror group in the world that has sophisticated weapons like AK-47?
