He said: "The Arewa Youths that demanded that the Igbo must leave the north by October 1st and that have now given the Federal Government an ultimatum to arrest Nnandi Kanu in the next 10 days are stoking a fire that may end up consuming Nigeria.

They must be gagged, put in chains and spanked hard!

Nnamdi Kanu is a hero and his call for independence for the Igbo is legitimate and lawful.Any attempt to arrest him will have consequences."

According to an earlier report by Legit.ng, Fani Kayode said those agitating for restructuring may need to take it by force because Nigeria will never be restructured through constitutional means or the National Assembly.

The former minister made the statement in a Facebook post on Thursday July 27 when speaking on the backdrop of the Senate vote to reject a proposal to amend the 1999 Constitution to devolve more powers to the states.
