The Nation Newspaper Nnamdi Kanu ready to abide by ‘any condition’ to get freedom
The push for the release of detained Indigenous People of Biafra leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu got more intense yesterday.to demand Kanu’s release, some Senators from the region met with the Attorney-General of the Federation Lateef Fagbemi .
He said the peaceful and legitimate demand by Kanu has been hijacked by hoodlums and hardened criminals, resulting in wanton killings of innocent people, including security operatives. Abaribe said virtually all political and religious leaders, including other stakeholders in the Southeast, have unanimously agreed that Kanu be released for peace to return to the geo-political zone.
Also yesterday, the Southeast caucus of the House of Representatives appealed to President Tinubu to consider releasing Kanu. The statement reads in part: “As a Caucus of the House of Representatives from where Mazi Nnamdi Kanu hails, we have taken liberty, in consonance with parliamentary practice, to seek the support of other regional caucuses of the House of Representatives, to achieve a quick and responsible resolution of the seemingly intractable Mazi Nnamdi Kanu case, a legal impasse that is undoubtedly the missing puzzle in solving the lingering security conundrum in the Southeast of Nigeria.
They believe Kanu’s continued detention despite previous court orders for his release is the major cause of tension and insecurity in the Southeast.
