The Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, has been called upon to arrest and investigate the National Coordinator of Northern Politicians, Academics, Professionals and Businessmen, Dr. Junaid Mohammed, over his remarks that there will be mayhem if the 2015 polls are rigged in favour of incumbent President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.
The call was made by a group under the aegis of Association of Northern Youth for the Advancement of Peace, Harmony and Development (ANYPAD) in a press statement issued in Jos, Plateau State by its President, Melvin Ejeh and Secretary, Kabiru Adamu Muhammed.
The group while reacting to media reports which quoted Dr. Junaid Mohammed as saying there will be mayhem if President Jonathan rigs the 2015 polls, described it as a provocative statement capable of “undermining the fragile peace in the North and Nigeria at large”.
According to the group, “We view this statement not only as inciting, but reckless and senseless, though, we are not surprised because recent happenings have shown that Dr. Junaid Mohammed is a religious bigot who does not see beyond his bedroom, and would do everything to frustrate anything that’s not within his immediate benefit.
“We wonder what Dr. Junaid and his cohorts intend to achieve by trying to further divide the North instead of doing everything possible to unite us.
“We further wonder what stake he has in the North to dictate to General Onoja and co on the candidate to support in 2015 presidential election. Don’t Gen. Onoja and everybody in the North has (sic) the right of choice?” the group asked.
To this end, the group said, “We urge the Inspector General not to undermine the statement, but to arrest and investigate Dr. Junaid, because statements like this, made by some of his close associates in 2010 before PDP Presidential primaries, militarized Boko Haram and heightened the insecurity in the north today”.
Junaid should be arrested immediately.Those before him promised mayhem if GEJ win,he won & their threat came to pass.This one should NOT be handled with levity like d past one.The North has held this country to ransom for too long,enough is enough.
I don’t know why some individuals would thought others are stupid. if you made yourself prey,the forces of Nigeria nation would caught up with the evil once

If Muhammad junaid can be arrested for such statements,I think dokubo asari should be dead by now cos he said alot of bitter things than this,and if really it hurts I think Muhammad is right,you fools shouldn’t forget that this a democracy,I can slap Jonathan and nothing will happen as per as democracy is concerned.there is freedom of speech you dumbs.
Asari Dokubo,should b arrest nw for his terible comment months ago.
its obvious dat governor plateau sponsor d group to his loyalty to Jonathan for his chairman govnor forum 16 greater than 19 in nigeria.
Why don‘t we call a spade spade in Nigeria? Where those now calling for the arrest of Junaid when Dokubo was calling for war if GEJ is not re-elected in 2015? Shame on you political stooge.
