Reno Omokri, former special assistant on new media to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, has explained why the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu should not be re-arrested by Federal Government.
The former aide, in a series of tweets via his Twitter Handle said re-arresting the Biafra leader will only turn him to a demigod and increase his influence.
He said if President Muhammadu Buhari had not arrested the IPOB leader, he would have remained a nobody.

He counselled Buhari to learn from former President Olusegun Obasanjo who ignored the struggle for enforcement of Sharia law during his administration, which he said died a natural death.
He wrote: “Nnamdi Kanu was a nonentity until Muhammadu Buhari arrested him. By rearresting Kanu, PMB will only turn him to a demigod and increase his influence.
“If you’re yet to appreciate the benefit of enemies, look at Nnamdi Kanu. Without his enemy Buhari arresting him he’d have remained a nobody!
“Compare PMB to Obj. Obj ignored political shari’a and it died a natural death. PMB clamped down on Kanu and turned him into a superstar!
“Buhari should rather put the effort he is making to arrest Nnamdi Kanu into arresting the drift in an economy that is collapsing under him.”
