The issue concerning Nnamdi Kanu is a political one that calls for a political solution. It is all about the agitation for Biafra, which is
within his fundamental rights of association, speech and movement. He and a good number of other pro-Biafra agitators no longer feel comfortable within the union called Nigeria and wish to pull out. How is that a crime against the Nigerian state? The situation degenerated into the armed agitation we are faced with today under the Indigenous People of Biafra because the Federal Government turned deaf ears and ignored them for too long instead of having a conversation with them.
It would be best if you separated, on one hand, armed agitation for self-rule from armed banditry and terrorism. While the former has a political undertone and only degenerated due to poor handling by the government, banditry has a criminal intent and terrorism is insurgency prone. Armed agitators can be persuaded to disarm and come to the discussion table in the nation’s interest. Where they resist, then the might of the state can be used in compelling them.
The current COAS is a sound professional who has gone through the grill. He belongs to the elite Special Forces Airborne Corps with a wealth of operational exposure and command experience. Since coming on board, we have seen him leverage his appointment as the COAS to make proactive adjustments to Command Field postings in the facilitation of the C-in-C’s directive to fix the insecurity situation on the ground.
