'Nigeria will burn if I'm rearrested' - Nnamdi Kanu

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, says Nigeria will go up in flames if he is re-arrested. 

The Federal government last week filed an application at the Federal High Court Abuja for the revocation of Kanu's bail. 

According to the Federal government, Kanu has flouted all his bail conditions and need to be rearrested. 

In a new interview with The Sun, Kanu said if he is re-arrested, Nigeria will burn.

"I don’t care! Quote me verbatim.If I’m re-arrested, this country will burn, I assure you. From where that oil money they depend on, they can no longer have access to it. I assure them that. This is not an empty threat.We’re IPOB, we don’t abandon our own" he said.

Asked how he would achieve that since he had earlier maintained that the group is not a violent one, Kanu said;

"Apartheid collapsed in South Africa, segregation collapsed in the USA, Martin Luther King had no weapons, the same thing is happening. There is a superior force fighting for us in heaven, Chukuokike Abiama, the Almighty God in heaven is fighting. This is His battle, it is not Nnamdi Kanu or IPOB’s battle. God is fighting His battle for us.

Have you ever heard of earthquake in Nigeria? It happened in 2016 in the North when I was arrested; have you heard of locusts swarming everywhere and damaging crops before? These are plagues of biblical proportion and it is just a warning, a tester of what is to come. What I represent is greater than who I am and the God that we worship, Chukuokike Abiama is about to make manifest that the whole world may know that Biafra is very special, exceptionally special and there is nothing any man can do, absolutely nothing" .
