Kanu made this known on Tuesday after he was denied bail by Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court Abuja.

Embattled leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, says some government officials are profiting from the insecurity ubiquitous in the South-East geopolitical zone.

Kanu made this known on Tuesday after he was denied bail by Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court Abuja.

The IPOB leader, who spoke after the court proceedings, said peace will be restored in the South-East if he is released from custody of the Department of State Services (DSS).

“I suspect that some people in government are complicit. They are making money with this insecurity. They know if Nnamdi Kanu is outside, in two minutes, this nonsense will stop,” Kanu told reporters.

“Anybody involved in any form of violence in the South-East in the name of IPOB, let me come out of this nonsense, this mess, only two minutes, I guarantee you, and there will be peace in the South-East.”

Earlier, the IPOB leader, who has been in the custody of the DSS since his extradition in June 2021, and is facing charges bordering on treasonable felony, told the court that he is being treated poorly by the secret police, and that there is a conspiracy for him to die in the custody.

In the last three years, the South-East, one of the six geopolitical zones in the country, has suffered unprecedented dastard attacks by so-called “unknown gunmen”, who revel in the desecration of the area, killing hundreds of security operativesm burning down police stations and military facilities.

The economies of Anambra, Enugu, Abia, Imo and Enugu have suffered a dip in the last three years since the menacing phenomenon known as Monday sit-at-home declared by secessionist agitators. While leaders in the zone continue their quest for a political solution to the escalating situation, travellers and residents tread with fear as bloodthirsty non-state actors wreak havoc in the states.

Idiots can insult their parents, ancestors and generation unborn for all I care.
Am unapologetic Igbo and I say this.
Cownu deserves all he got and is getting, because he is a fool.
When he was a free man before the Python Dance saga,did he try to act peaceably?
No,he was busy making maniacal inciting statements online, encouraging ethnic hatred by our people against the Northerners, sowing bitterness everywhere.
The idiot even opened channels of acquisitions of ammunition for his insane followers, doing so carelessly, not thoroughly checking the type of hands those guns were going into.
And so criminals took advantage of that and what's the result today?
C
Hoodlums using IPOB regalia molest and threaten people, even killing,all in the name of securing his release.
Even before Cownu incarceration, the hoodlums have been doing that from time to time.
So NK can finally realise that peace is precious and priceless.
