The governor explained that the hoodlums behind frequent attacks in the South-east were criminals who had hijacked the Biafra struggle and are now hiding under the agitation and Mr Kanu’s name to perpetrate violence.But reacting in a statement on Monday, the spokesperson of the IPOB, Emma Powerful, said the governor appears to be “pitching his tent firmly” with unnamed politicians allegedly against the release of the IPOB leader.

He challenged South-east governors to publicly say if there is any “ulterior motive” behind their alleged reluctance to “frontally” seek Mr Kanu’s release in line with their public pledge.
