Peter Obi Hails Kanu’s Release, Demands Freedom For Other Agitators by Ogirigi: 2:44pm On Apr 29, 2017
Former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, has described the release of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, as a welcome development.

Kanu, who was detained for over 18 months, was set free from Kuje Prison, Abuja on Friday evening after meeting the conditions for the bail granted him on Tuesday by a Federal High Court, Abuja, presided over by Justice Binta Nyako.

“I am happy that the Federal Government this time listened to the voice of reason. I congratulate Kanu on his release and wish to commend all those who played one role or the other to ensure that he met his tough bail conditions and was actually released,” Obi said in a statement issued on Friday night by his Media Office.

The former governor, however, expressed displeasure that the other Biafra activists detained with Nnamdi Kanu, continue to languish in prison custody.

“I wish to appeal to the Judiciary and the Federal Government to equally consider the other Biafra detainees for bail and release since, to the best of my knowledge, they have never resorted to violence in their agitation,” he said.

Obi noted that while the release of Kanu will help to calm frayed nerves, tension will likely remain high in the South East and South South geopolitical zones in view of the continued detention of other Biafra activists.

“As I counseled previously, the Federal Government should engage the Biafra agitators in dialogue. Every agitation in the world is resolved through dialogue,” Obi said.

Afonjas must have exhausted the tears in their eyes while crying ,many of them have given up, the rate of their wailing over BIAFRAN issues has reduced .
Indeed, this week has been a very terrible week for afonjas.
God bless Okwute ndi Igbo and all lovers of freedom down south.

True!

They should be granted bail.

Kanu was/is the primary suspect, I think it's wise to release the remaining two.

If you don't identify with IPOB you become useless, for those who still underestimate IPOB, you are making a big mistake
