A coalition of 75 Northern groups under the aegis of Northern Consensus Movement on Thursday announced a reward of N100 million for persons who can produce leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, for continuation of his trial for alleged treason.



The groups, which disclosed this while briefing reporters in Abuja, accused Kanu and the Eastern Security Network (IPOBโ€™s militia wing) of masterminding the recent spate of attacks on Northern communities in the Southeast via what they called โ€˜hate speechโ€™.
Speaking on behalf of the Coalition, Dr. Awwal Aliyu, they urged the United States of America, the United Kingdom and the European Union to facilitate Kanuโ€™s repatriation to Nigeria to face the charges against him.
Aliyu said: โ€œThe Northern Consensus Movement, an amalgamation of more than 75 civil society groups of Northern extraction, has taken it upon ourselves, as active citizens of this country, Nigeria, to state in unequivocal terms that:
โ€œWe are declaring Nnamdi Kanu wanted for crimes against humanity and for instigating the killing of innocent Northerners in the southeast via his hate speech.
โ€œWe want him to answer for the killing and destruction of Northerners residing and undertaking lawful businesses in the southeastern part of Nigeria.


โ€œSo, we are placing a bounty of N100m as an offer to anyone who can produce him alive, hale, hearty, and uninjured to us for onward delivery to the security agencies for the continuation of his prosecution.
โ€œWe call on both the US, the UK, and the EU, a champions of democracy, rule of law, and freedoms of speech and expression to kindly and humble respect Nigeriaโ€™s sovereignty and facilitate the repatriation of Nnamdi Kanu to Nigeria so that he can face his treason, and possibly a fresh terrorism and genocide charges against innocent citizens of Nigeria.โ€
