Veteran actress Rita Edochie has taken to Instagram to offer controversial advice to community leaders on tackling rampant insecurity, kidnapping, and killing across the country.
Edochie shared a photo of the leader of the secessionist group, Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu (who has been sentenced to life imprisonment after being convicted of terrorism), with a caption suggesting Kanu had previously warned that terrorists were widespread but was ignored.
Suggesting a direct action plan to end the terror, Rita Edochie urged community leaders, particularly in Igboland, to identify and arm the strongest people in their communities to confront the criminals.
She wrote in her post titled, “MY HUMBLE OPINION…”:
“BEFORE PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP’S ARRIVAL , NDI IGWE , COMMUNITY LEADERS NA ANI IGBO BIKONU DO THIS AND KNOW PEACE… BIKONU , LET EVERY COMMUNITY PROPERLY ARM THEIR YOUTHS , THE ONES THAT CAN THOUGH , ASK THEM TO GET INTO THEIR BUSHES AND FORRESTS , AND SEE THESE KIDNAPPINGS STOP OVERNIGHT.”
