Release Nnamdi Kanu To End Insecurity In South-East – IPOB Tells FG

IPOB has asked FG to release Nnamdi Kanu to end insecurity in South-East.

Glamtush reports that the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has urged the Federal government to release pro-Biafran leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to end insecurity in the South-East region.

IPOB has also once again dissociated itself from the violent enforcement of the sit-at-home order across the South-East.

The proscribed group pointed out that if the Federal Government really wants insecurity to end in the South-East, it should release Kanu unconditionally from detention as pronounced by the courts.

In a statement by its spokesman, Emma Powerful, on Friday, the group condemned the statement credited to the Nigerian Army linking it to the incessant sit-at-home orders and enforcement in the South-East.

Powerful said, “The Army chief, Gen. Lagbaja Taoreed will not claim ignorance of all the previous press releases written by IPOB led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu disassociating ourselves from Simon Ekpa and his criminal sit-at-home enforcers.

“For the avoidance of doubt, IPOB is not responsible for Mondays nor failed seven-day and purported two-week sit-at-home orders and enforcement.

“The reckless and abusive sit-at-home strategy is from the autopilot group led by Simon Ekpa. We have consistently made it known that Simon Ekpa and his autopilot group are not IPOB members and do not represent Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in their violent enforcement of sit-at-home orders.
