SaharaReporters had reported that Soludo demanded for Kanu’s unconditional release from the custody of the Department of the State Service (DSS) where he had been confined since June 2021 when he was arrested in Kenya.
Nnamdi Kanu Has Been Discharged, Acquitted By Several Courts, Needs No Surety – IPOB Backs Anambra Governor, SoludoSaharaReporters had reported that Soludo demanded for Kanu’s unconditional release from the custody of the Department of the State Service where he had been confined since June 2021 when he was arrested in Kenya.
Reacting to Soludo’s demand, IPOB in a statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, appreciated the governor’s demand for Kanu’s unconditional release but pointed out that the IPOB leader had no need of surety, having been discharged and acquitted by courts of competent jurisdiction.
The group stated that “Kanu has no any form of indictment or even charge pending against him today before any court by the authority of this Judgment. The issue of granting bail or otherwise does not arise by any stretch of consideration or imagination because it is the Federal Government that is today in breach of this order of superior court of competent jurisdiction.”
“May we also remind Governor Soludo and others that Onyendu’s current incarceration is not sanctioned by any law known to man. It is unconstitutional and affront to constitutional democracy and rule of law.
