A coalition of Yoruba youth group has called on the Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo to arrest the embattled leader of the pro-Biafra group, Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu.

Adepoju who further backed the move by the Coalition of Northern Youth who had earlier tasked the United Nations, UN, to declare the IPOB leader and the group a terror group said: “We decided to keep mute all along as we felt Kanu and his men will allow for dialogue.
“But we are surprised that despite the fact that the Northern youths who earlier issue quit notice to the Igbo’s has make a U-turn on their decision, Kanu and his men are still moving around spreading hate speeches
“We are tired as we are losing patience, in as much as we understand that Kanu does not have the support of the majority of the Igbo’s, we felt its high time the security operatives do their job in getting him arrested
“Kanu does not have monopoly of violence as efforts are been made at dousing rising temper of over 25million Yoruba Youths who are not happy with the war like attitude of kanu and his men
“We therefore use this medium to call on the acting president, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo to oder the arrest of Kanu
“We equally support the letter addressed to the UN by the coalition of Nothern Youths to declare IPOB a terror group.”
Adepoju further called on the ailing president, Muhammadu Buhari to call for national Youths Confab adding that the confab will go a long way in itemizing the issues affecting the Nigerian youths.
