Pastor Tunde Bakare, the general overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, has condemned the clampdown on self-determination agitators, Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Igboho in the country.
He said the agitations of Sunday Adeyemo, a Yoruba nation agitator and Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), started agitations as a result of ”lack of justice and equity.”
“I don’t support any act of violence, taking up arms against the country and killing people. Those are in the realm of criminality and anybody doing that must be brought to book,” Bakare said in his Sunday service sermon on June 25, 2021, according to ThisDay newspapers…
“However, we must realise that what has given rise to the agitation is lack of justice and equity. When there is justice, when there is equity, agitation will die down. How can you be expending so much energy on Igboho and Kanu? Igboho and Kanu are not Nigeria’s problems. Nigeria must restructure and no one can stop that,” he declared.
Kanu was arrested on June 25 and extradited to Nigeria to face trial for treasonable felony while Igboho was arrested with his wife at the Cardinal Bernardin International Airport, Cotonou, Benin Republic.
