IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu said members of the group in the Republic of Japan had received orders from him to disgrace and arrest President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday when he arrived the Asian country on Sunday.
Kanu in a statement said President Buhari must be arrested and handed over to Japanese authorities to enable him to answer for his alleged mass murder and crimes against humanity, which he allegedly committed in Nigeria between 2015 and 2019.
President Muhammad Buhari Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, on Friday in a statement said that the President would leave Nigeria for Japan on Sunday to participate in the Seventh Tokyo International Conference on African Development, holding in the City of Yokohama from August 28-30, 2019.
However, in a statement on Friday evening, IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu urged its members in the country to mobilise and ensure that they arrest President Buhari, saying they were ready for the legal aftermath of the action.
