Arewa Quit Order Is Treasonable Offence, Says Ex DIG Ekpoudom

Mr Ekpoudom also faulted the sit-at-home order issued by Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) also contravene the law, noting the agitators have no constitutional authority to force section of the country to sit at home without the consent of the federal government. It amount to run a parallel government .

​“The AREWA youths have no right to issued quit notice order to a section of Nigerian just as IPOB do not have the right to ask the section of the country to stay indoor, this groups committed treasonable felony which should ordinarily call for the arrest and prosecution of the ring leaders.”

​He urge the police authority and the Department of State Service ( DSS ) charged with the responsibility of maintaining internal peace and security to brace up to the current challenges threatening the unity of the country.
​
The sit at home order and quit notice order, he added is an invitation i to separation of the country which cannot come without blood shed.

​“Those beating the drums of war have never experience the pain of war, most of those making inciting and hate speeches were too young or were not born when we had the Nigerian/Biafra civil war. It unfortunate those youths clamoring for war are being sponsored by people who don’t have value for this country or are having dual citizenship”.
