The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, AYCF, has warned that it would demand compensation for Northerners killed and their properties destroyed in the Southeast if Kanu is released.
Yerima Shettima, the National President of AYCF, said releasing Kanu would show a sign of weakness on the part of the government.
Shettima noted that releasing the IPOB leader could be interpreted to mean that the government was afraid of him and security agencies were overwhelmed.
He stressed that Kanu’s case would be used as a reference point for crimes committed in the future if released.
