Southeast Senators have appealed to President Bola Tinubu to order the release of detained Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

The delegation of 15 senators, led by former Abia State Deputy Governor and ranking senator, Enyinnaya Abaribe, argued that the ongoing detention of Kanu is stalling social and economic activities in the Southeast region.


In a closed-door meeting with the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Prince Lateef Fagbem, SAN, the Senators emphasized the urgent need for Kanu’s release.


Abaribe, speaking on behalf of his colleagues after the meeting, expressed concerns over the deteriorating economic and social conditions in the Southeast, attributing it to Kanu’s continued incarceration.

Abaribe stated that Kanu’s peaceful agitation has been hijacked by criminals, leading to increased violence and loss of lives, including those of security personnel.

He said he met with Kanu at the Department of State Services (DSS) headquarters in Abuja on Monday, where Kanu agreed to comply with any conditions set for his release.

The former Deputy Governor expressed confidence that releasing Kanu would help to restore peace and stability in the Southeast, which has been troubled since Kanu’s detention in 2021.

I am seeing Nnamdi kanu already as a free man with all the pressure coming from every part of the country.
Tinubu lacks the balls to continue to keep him in detention

pharmagba:
These Governors don't love their people.
Is it Kanu that will deliver to the South East the dividend of democracy?
I am yet to see anybody tell me why it important to release Kanu, instead of allowing the judiciary to do it work

A man who called individual name to be killed is not worth it. There is deep hatred embedded in him.
God gave Nigeria a golden opportunity by capturing him, let's not blow it.

Livingstone124:
since that golden catching of Nnamdi Kaku, has Nigeria made any notable progress in Security of lives and properties esp in the South East ? Think twice before you comment.
