"They want to scare every body. Ko jooooo.

"Kill fear and speak the truth to power."

Recall that Kukah had while delivering his Christmas message to Nigerians last week decried the alleged level of nepotism by President Muhammadu Buhari.

According to Kukah, Nigeria under President Muhammadu Buhari was journeying into darkness.

Responding to Kukah's Christmas message, the minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed warned religious leaders to desist from making comments capable of dividing the country.

AllNews had earlier on Tuesday reported that Arewa Youths said that the Catholic Bishop should be arrested for treasonable felony.

This was declared by the National President of the group, Yerima Shettima, who said that Kukah had betrayed something "much more sinister" against Nigeria and the north.

 

Arrest or try to embarass Bishop Kukah and we will prove to you that Government is not owned by you but the people. They want to scare every body. Ko jooooo. Kill fear and speak the truth to power.
