The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Okezie Kalu, has shed light on the ongoing efforts towards securing the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), who has been in detention for an extended period.


This revelation comes in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision to order a retrial for Kanu, sparking various agitations, including the sit-at-home protests observed in the South-East region every Monday.


Speaking virtually on the "South East Political Roundtable" during a current affairs radio program on FLO FM in Umuahia, Kalu expressed optimism about the ongoing talks aimed at securing Kanu's freedom.


However, he also took the opportunity to address the impact of the sit-at-home protests, urging the youth to consider alternative means of expressing their grievances.


Kalu emphasized the negative effects of the sit-at-home protests on potential investors, discouraging contributions to the region's development.
