Aloy Ejimakor, a Special Counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, leader of
the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has said the group cannot be compared to
Miyetti Allah.
Ejimakor explained that IPOB is registered worldwide, hence
cannot be compared to Miyetti Allah.
He spoke against the backdrop of Nobel Laureate Wole
Soyinka’s comment on the Federal Government’s proscription of IPOB.
Soyinka had questioned the Federal Government’s handling of
the farmers-herders crisis in Nigeria.
He wondered why the Federal Government was yet to ban
Miyetti Allah while it already did IPOB due to its agitation.
Soyinka said Nigerians must always put the country’s history
in perspective to understand security challenges.
Reacting, Ejimakor said IPOB was respected by nations of the
world because of its non-violence.
Ejimakor tweeted: “Why proscribe IPOB and not Miyetti
Allah?’ – Prof Soyinka.
“Thanks, Prof, but the two can’t compare because IPOB is
registered worldwide, respected by nations and nonviolent. Miyetti Allah is
not.”
