A former Chief Whip of the Senate, Senator Rowland Owie, has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to order the release of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.

According to him, this would reduce tension in the country.

A statement he released at the weekend appealed to Buhari not to heed the voice of those telling him that IPOB is a militant group.

He said: “I wish to remind President Muhammadu Buhari that every elected leader in Nigeria becomes a prisoner of palace jesters around him and become isolated from realities outside Aso Rock.

“President Buhari should open the prison door now and come out and face the reality.

“I urge President Buhari to release Kanu, the leader of the IPOB, now and dialogue with them.

“The President should not listen to palace jesters who are telling him that they are militants like Boko Haram. They are not.
