The detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu said the festering violence in the Southeastern part is due to his continued incarceration among others.
Kanu averred this in Abuja on Tuesday immediately after the court denied him of bail.
Speaking, the separatist leader also washed his hands of the violence rocking the region, saying on one part its lingering was allegedly due to some government officials profiting from it.
The remark, “Anybody committing crime cannot go free. I swear it. Anybody committing crime in the east cannot go free. They are doing it because I am in the DSS (custody). If I were to be outside, nobody can try this. I suspect that some people in government are complicit. They are making money with the insecurity.
“They know if Nnamdi Kanu is outside, in two minutes, this nonsense will stop. Who is the bagger or idiot that will speak when I am talking? I will give an order in the East who is the idiot that I will give an order that will counter it? Nobody can. I am Nnamdi Kanu.
“Anybody involved in any form of violence in the East in the name of IPOB is a goner, and they know it. Let me come out of this mess, only two minutes, there will be peace in the East.”
