Some Igbo Politicians Secretly Met With South-East Govs To Stop Nnamdi Kanu’s Release
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has said that there are some politicians from the South-East who are making frantic efforts to frustrate the release of its detained leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
IPOB in a statement issued by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, said that its M-Branch revealed that some politicians visited Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, to persuade him not to support the quest for Kanu’s release from the Department of State Service (DSS) custody.
Powerful said, “We wish to inform those criminal elements working against the release of Nnamdi Kanu to beware because we know of their secret meetings and discussions against Kanu.
“If they continue with their sabotage, their names will be made public soon. Also, some of the political jobbers in the South-East region working against the unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu should know that we are following the activities closely.
“The unscrupulous individuals hold secret meetings with South East Governors to frustrate the clarion call of the release of Nnamdi Kanu, who incidentally is the only political prisoner in Nigeria currently.
“We warn those sabotaging the unconditional release of our leader to stop,” that they “should know that nothing happens in the South-East region without IPOB getting the intel ahead of time.
“Those Igbos involved in this dastardly act to frustrate the release of Nnamdi Kanu should retrace their steps quickly.”
Powerful said that Kanu has not committed any crime known to law internationally or locally, noting that he has been in detention illegally for more than three years.
“Nnamdi Kanu’s continuous detention is a gross violation of Appeal Court judgment and a slap on Ndigbo’s face as a race.
“The unscrupulous politicians from the South-East region sabotaging the release of Kanu are also not regarded.
“The unscrupulous Igbo persons working against the unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu are not only working against Nnamdi Kanu but also sabotaging Ndigbo as a whole.”
