From Mustapha Adamu, Kano
A coalition of non-state actors, under the aegis of Non-State Actors Consultative Forum (NOSACOF) has described groups and individuals who criticized Nigerian securities for arresting and extradition of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and leader of Yoruba secessionists, Sunday Igboho as unpatriotic and unjust.
NOSACOF, in a press conference by Joint Non-State Actors Consultative Forum, held in Kano yesterday, observed that various political actors and interest groups have used the arrest of Kanu and raid on Igboho’s residence as an opportunity to express their opinion and interest regarding such actions.
The group said, “while every Nigerian has the constitutional right to express his opinion, it is however disappointing to see some non-state actors, interest groups, politicians and tribal leaders unjustly criticizing our security agencies (especially the DSS) and expressing all sort of unpatriotic statements capable of undermining the security and unity of our dear country.”
According to NOSACOF, most of those actors have consistently shown little or no interest whenever such “criminals” are perpetrating crimes against the Nigerian state.
