Buhari's Reinstatement Of Zakari Biu Is An Impunity - Ohaneze Ndigbo

The youth arm of Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, is displeased with
President Muhammadu Buhari, over the reinstatement of the dismissed Commissioner
of Police, Zakari Biu.
On Friday, Biu was reinstated and statutorily retired by the Police Service Commission
(PSC).

Biu was dismissed in 2011, for allegedly aiding the escape of Boko Haram mastermind,
Kabiru Sokoto, who was convicted for the bombing of St. Theresa Catholic Church,
Madalla, Niger State.
The Ohanaeze Youth Council is irate with this action of reinstating Biu by the PSC, and
has therefore taken it out on President Buhari.
The group issued a statement on Sunday, through its National President, Okechukwu
Isiguzoro, who said the action of the PSC has confirmed that “Buhari’s administration
indeed belongs to the North and not to everybody.”
“The manner and impunity with which the Buhari administration is reversing some
laudable actions and policies of his predecessor without minding the security
implications calls for concern. The decision of the PSC is very worrisome and against
all known norms and true justice.”
The OYC said that by reinstating Biu, President Buhari had demonstrated that he had no
regard for the lives of the innocent worshipers who perished in the bomb blast
masterminded by Sokoto.
The statement partly read, “Before now, we were shouting over the recent lopsided
appointments made by the President, where the South-East was deliberately ignored,
but the worst has come by rewarding a man who aided Kabiru Sokoto after he snuffed
life out of over 44 Igbo indigenes and left over 70 others critically injured.
“Our questions are these: What effort has the present administration made to know the
situation of the victims of that bomb blast? What effort has the government made to
know the condition of the bereaved families, considering that most of the victims were
their bread winners?
“It is obvious that Mr. President cares less about the Ndigbo in this country; we are
saying that the current administration is dragging this country into ethnic chaos and it
will not yield any good fruit.
