The spokesman for Yoruba socio-cultural organization, Afenifere, Yinka Odumakin has said that it will be an act of injustice to arrest Jonathan since the former President has nothing to answer for.
‘’Nigeria is a funny country, and some people know how to play to the gallery. Why are they talking about Jonathan being arrested when the man has not been indicted by any court or even put on trial? If at all they have anything against Jonathan requiring them to hear his own side, must they arrest him?
Nothing stop them from going to Jonathan’s village to have audience with him. I hope some people are not planning to humiliate the former President.
To do so will have a serious repercussion not only on our polity, but on democracy throughout Africa’’.
There have been calls from different quarters for President Muhammadu Buhari to ‘arrest’ his predecessor t help clarify issues sorrounding the arms deal scandal.
