Friday- 18th June, 2021: Former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, has slammed the Northern groups for placing N100m bounty on Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
According Omokri, such bounty should be placed on leaders of bandits and Boko Haram terrorizing the North.
CEOAFRICA had earlier reported that some Northern groups under the aegis of Northern Consensus Movement, NCM, had placed the bounty on Kanu over the destructions and killings of Northerners in the Southeast.
The President of the group, Dr Auwal Abdullahi, had made the announcement while declaring the IPOB leader wanted.
Speaking at a press conference, Abdullahi had accused Kanu of using IPOB and the Eastern Security Network, ESN, to carry out attacks on Northerners in the Southeast.
However, Omokri faulted the move by the Northern groups.
In a tweet, Omokri wrote: “Why would a Northern group place a ₦100 million bounty on Nnamdi Kanu’s head? The North has bandits who abduct schoolchildren on an almost weekly basis.
“They also have Boko Haram. Use that money to place a bounty on the heads of leaders of bandits and Boko Haram.”
