Obasanjo Defends Igbos, Says All Major Ethnic Groups Attempted Secession
Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo has argued that it is unfair to single out Igbos for their past attempt to secede, claiming that all of Nigeria’s major ethnic groups have, at one time, sought to break away from the country.
Obasanjo made these remarks while addressing a delegation of the League of Northern Democrats, led by ex-Kano State Governor Ibrahim Shekarau, at his library in Abeokuta on October 22.
Reflecting on the nation’s history, Obasanjo noted that the North had once strongly considered secession through the “Araba” movement.
He expressed frustration at the belief that an Igbo cannot become Nigeria’s president due to the Biafran secession attempt, calling such views “nonsense” and urging Nigerians to unite for the nation’s progress.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.

However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
