American Military Veterans of Igbo Descent (AVID) insist on the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), arguing that it will bring peace and significantly reduce crime in the South East region.
The American Military Veterans of Igbo Descent, AVID , have again demanded the release of leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra , IPOB , Mazi Nnamdi Kanu . The group said Kanu should be released for peace to reign in the South East. In a statement on Wednesday in Abuja, the American Military Veterans of Igbo Descent expressed optimism that Kanu's release would reduce the crime rate by 95 percent in the region. The statement was signed by Dr.
Sylvester Onyia, AVID President and the Secretary, Dr. Godson Obiagwu on behalf of the group. Parts of the statement read, 'Mazi Nnamdi Kanu remains a brother, son, and father to many Igbos and non-Igbos who have associated with him and seen his positive vision for everyone. 'His popularity has multiplied over the past years, as has his unshakeable stand on our collective conviction as a people. His nonviolent approach makes him more likeable. 'The reason Mazi Nnamdi Kanu must be released immediately and unconditionally now rather than later is to distinguish between apples and oranges. 'We believe that if Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is freed today crimes will go down up to 95%, whoever questions this maybe discreetly supporting and sponsoring insecurity in Southeast and blaming it on Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. 'For those opposing his release are simply making money with his infamous and illegal detention. American Military Veterans of Igbo Descent, (AVID) as a body maintains that there is more to gain than to lose when he gets freed. 'Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo of Anambra State, who previously stated that releasing Mazi Nnamdi Kanu would reduce crime in the southeast, should be aware that nothing has changed. 'While we still believe in his initial position, we strongly disagree with him now that his release will not reduce crime in the southeast. If this is his new position, it means that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is not the cause of insecurity in the Southeas
