“We now have reason to lend our weight to the voices objecting to the release of the IPOB’s leader, Nnamdi Kanu. The latest crime of the group he leads, in murdering Harira, her children and six others for no reason than their being Muslims of Northern Nigeria extraction, must be added to the list of his unrepentant crimes until the full wrath of the law is brought down on him.
We strongly call on the Anambra State Government to pay full life compensation to the relatives of the deceased, take measures to put a final stop to the barbaric and terrorist acts as well as apologize to the Muslim community the world over. While we call upon Muslims in Northern Nigeria and other places to resist the temptation of any unlawful reaction, ” said the statement.
It further stated that the forum is also calling on the Federal Government and the security agencies to demonstrate that they are capable of protecting the lives and properties of Nigerian citizens irrespective of where they decide to reside in Nigeria, just as sanctioned by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
