Some IPOB members who spoke under anonymity following the arrest of Nnamdi kanu and rearraignment of Kanu would not stop the Biafran agitation.
They said they were prepared for a day like today, stressing that IPOB was not all about Nnamdi Kanu.
Ebisike, a resident of Umuahia said Kanu’s arrest will make the Igbo to feel Donald Trump’s loss in the last American election.
“If Trump had won the election, this thing couldn’t have happened, you know, internationally, the world has turned upside down.
“I keep on telling people that Britain is never the friends of the Igbo, because if they had not arrested Nnamdi Kanu, who else do you think would have?”
He sees Kanu’s arrest as a two-way thing, either it will quell the agitation for Biafra or heightens it.
A lady, Ebere who spoke on phone from Aba said she wouldn’t know what will become of IPOB and the Biafra struggle with the arrest of Kanu.
However, she was quick to add, “I know his arrest will not be the end of the struggle.
But there was what the Bible said, ‘strike the Shepherd, and the flocks will scatter’.
If not that Jesus Christ was divine, even when he was arrested, even Peter denied him until he came back after he resurrected after three days.
But here, we are talking about ordinary human being”.
From Aba, an Aba- based lawyer, Emperor Ogbonna in a statement said “the fact is that it is very difficult most times to evade the long arms of the law.
“He (Kanu) was granted bail on some conditions and he broke the conditions of the bail.
And he did not only broke the conditions of the bail, he continued doing those things that made him to be arrested and charged to court in the first place.
“Maybe if he had mellowed down, his situation might have been different but continuation of the same act for which he was standing trial, amounts to an affront to the Nigerian state.
“I know he is a British citizen and subject to British protection but I do not know the condition of which he was arrested and removed from Britain.
“We are in for a long ride this time. I also think that the government should try to address some of the grievances of some people in the South East and know whether both the government and the some people in the South East who think that the South East is being marginalized can arrive at a middle course so that there can be harmony between the federal government and some aggrieved persons in the South East.
