The Judiciary Is Leading FG Astray With #EndSARS Protesters – Awada Obosi

The Federal Government has been warned not to repeat the mistake it made by arresting and prosecuting the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB with #EndSARS protesters.

An Onitsha-based Small Scale Industrialist and Chairman of Osakwe Industrial Cluster, Awada Obosi, near Onitsha, Chief Johnson Okolo revealed this recently while addressing newsmen.

According to him, arresting Mazi Kanu was a mistake and the judiciary should not be misleading the Federal Government by giving the Court Order for freezing the accounts of some #EndSARS protesters.

He added that the judiciary is turning to be the greatest problem and agency of confusion in Nigeria.

His words, “The move being made by the Federal Government to arrest the #EndSARS protesters and their alleged sponsors will create more problems, they claimed particularly, the southeast Governors that IPOB and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu are problems to Nigeria, that IPOB is inciting another civil war, but what the Federal Government and its agents are doing now by arresting #EndDARS protesters is more dangerous and is capable to produce ten more dangerous people and groups than IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu from across the country.

“If you look at the list of the people they said they are going to prosecute in the court, musicians, entertainers, comedians, ex-footballers, religious leaders and what have you, these people are known across the world and have the capacity and all it takes to incite violence, rubbish the country and create problems in Nigeria.

“The best thing the Federal Government should do is either to dialogue with the protesters or ignore them, why are you prosecuting them, did any law in Nigeria prohibits protest, are you now calling them the hoodlums that broke and looted the warehouses where palliatives were packed or the ones that allegedly burnt police station and looted gun as we are made to believe. The Federal Government should thread softly and cautiously with the #EndSARS issues, that is my honest advice.

“To me the youths who organized the #EndSARS protest were credible and patriotic youths, they organized and did it with international best practices until it was hijacked by hoodlums, but before the hoodlums came, who were the people that did a counter-protest on Abuja and attacked the #EndSARS protesters, who were they working for and who sent them to do counter-protest, that is one aspect of the attempt to hijack or bring violence into #EndSARS protests, remember that the people doing counter-protest in favour of SARS threatened the #EndSARS protesters and even attacked them, who were those people and who sent them.”
