    Powerful, while speaking about the issue as to what would be the fate of the arrested criminal, said, “We have made it open before now that we don’t spare terrorists.”

    “Mohammed Isa was captured by ESN Northern Command and handed over to God. we handed him over to God, to meet his ancestors.

    “It is our resolve that any Fulani terrorists masquerading as herdsmen in our land if we catch you, we send you yo to God Chukwu Okike Abiama to judge you.

    “ESN has no power to judge terrorists. Only God has the power to do so, therefore advising them to leave our lands, forests and farmlands.”

    In his comments on the preparation of IPOB to build a social media application for their members in replacement of Facebook, Powerful said, “When we are through, we will launch it.”
