#EndSARS: Igbo Youths Should Ignore Nnamdi Kanu, He Wants To Mislead Them – SOEAPAT

A South East peace-building group under the umbrella of Coalition of South East Peace Practitioners, SOEAPAT, has come out to blast IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu for inciting Igbos against Nigeria.

The group recently revealed that his actions are directly against the unity of Nigeria and it endangers the lives and investments of hardworking and peaceful Igbos in the country.

According to SOEAPAT Zonal Chairman, Dr. Obi Chibuzor, Igbo youths should not take Kanu seriously because he is giving misleading orders despite not being in the country.

He added that the ongoing destruction of properties following the #EndSARS protests across Nigeria is wrong and the killings of unarmed protesters cannot be allowed to continue.

His words, “All Indigbo worldwide to quickly begin to speak to some of our deviant youths to back down on their grievances before we are misconstrued as trouble makers when in the actual sense we are the victims in Nigeria.”

“We stand here to state categorically that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is a criminal that must not be taken seriously. He is out to achieve popularity and make money for himself as against the freedom fighter he is claiming.”

“We have watched with great concern the event that preceded the Lekki Tollgate shooting of innocents protesters by men of the Nigeria Army on Tuesday.

“This act is quite unprofessional, condemnable and regrettable. We call for urgent independent investigation to ascertain the motive and persons behind this act.

Our heart are with all the families of those who lost their lives and those injured.

“We call on the federal and state governments to immediately take up the medical bills of the injured victims and compensate families who lost their love once where necessary.

“We wish to wholeheartedly condemn the senseless destruction of properties by some criminal elements who hijacked the protests by genuine protesters demanding for an end to SARS and police brutality and better life.

“This destruction is uncalled for and the most costly mistake made by these criminal elements in the 21st century.

“Almost every property that was destroyed will severely and negatively affect the livelihood of the masses they claim to be fighting for. So why the destruction?

“If you are complaining of under development and bad governance,why then do you destroy properties and loot banks and business premises?

“This is so sad! Nigerian youths of good conscience must rise in unison and resist these criminals who are out to give the youths a bad name. It is will take sometime for the people to recover from this great loss in the mist the global pandemic.

“We want to also call on all Indigbo worldwide to quickly begin to speak to some of our deviant youths to back down on their grievances before we are misconstrued as trouble makers when in the actual sense we are the victims.

“We stand here to state categorically that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is a criminal that must not be taken seriously. He is out to achieve popularity.”
