Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A security expert, Col. Hassa Stan-Labo (rtd), has averred that further incarceration of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, would only make him more relevant and heighten the \u201cheroship\u201d over him.<\/p>\n

He said this on Wednesday while featuring on Arise Television\u2019s Morning Show programme, discussing the recent visit by the service chiefs to President Bola Tinubu over the week.<\/p>\n

Stan-Labo advised the government to start a conversation with some agitating groups as it would go a long way to addressing security issues.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cOne major priority area in the southeast, which I think will cool off a great deal of grouse, is for us to bring out Kanu; that gentleman, pull him out. Stop this incarceration.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know some of his pronouncements or maybe lines of his actions and so on were offensive to the Nigerian state, and there was need to take certain actions.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut you see, Nigeria itself is a family; that\u2019s my picture of Nigeria. When part of the family feel offended, as parents, as a father you sit the gentleman down or the child down and try to find out what the problems are.<\/p>\n

\u201cCan we start talking with Kanu? Can we start talking with IPOB? Can we start talking with other groups? I think a conversation with some of the groups will go a long way to addressing these issues.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must not apply the stick always, bring in the carrots sometimes, and let see the carrots and sticks diplomacy at play.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we can do that, and if we do that, the situation in the southeast will be greatly doused.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrankly speaking, further incarceration will only make him more and more relevant, only heightens the heroship over him. He is a hero now, whether we accept it or not. And we made him the hero. We have made him a hero in the southeast. If he comes out now, he can contest governorship election in any of the states. Nobody will even ask him if he\u2019s from the state.\u201d<\/p>\n
