After Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), was denied bail by a federal court, he boldly asserted that "Insecurity in South-East will end two minutes after my release."
This statement sparked various reactions from Nigerians across social media platforms. Questions arose regarding the justification for Kanu's continuous detention, with some suggesting that surveillance could have been a more appropriate measure.
Some expressed skepticism, humorously remarking that Kanu "will rot in jail" and suggesting that he remains detained. Others echoed similar sentiments, stating that trust couldn't be placed in Kanu's words and advised he stay incarcerated.
Humorous diversions to Kanu's attire and observations of contradictions between his words and actions also surfaced. However, supporters called for Kanu's release, while critics accused him of advocating violence.
