According to the Defense Minister, Brig-Gen Mansur Mohammed
Dan-Ali, one of the characteristics of a terror group was hate speech,
which Kanu and his co-agitators had been making against Nigerians and
Nigeria...
The minister, while speaking during a courtesy call on the
Permanent Representative of Nigeria to the United Nations, in New York,
the United States of America, Prof Tijjani Bande, insisted that the
international community cannot determine the nation’s internal security
problem.
“There are many indices that make a group terrorist. One of
them that has been mentioned in the country is that any group that is
fond of making hate speeches, making provocative statements, becoming a
security challenge to the country, then that group has to be registered
as a terrorist group,” Dan-Ali said.
He further added that the international community needed to look at
what was going on in the country and know what IPOB was doing.
Speaking earlier, Bande thanked Dan-Ali for the visit, and said a
lot of important persons come around, but are hardly seen in the
Mission.
He said the fact that the minister created time to visit the Permanent Mission was something extremely important to the Mission.
Meanwhile, the chairman of the South-East Governors’ forum, Chief
David Umahi has said the governors of the zone proscribed the Indigenous
People of Biafra, IPOB, to save the lives of over 12 million of Igbos
living in the northern Nigeria.
