Tinubu, Ohaneze to meet on Nnamdi Kanu
Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohaneze Ndigbo, says it would meet President Bola Tinubu to demand the release of separatist leader Nnamdi Kanu, who is currently in detention.
Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, the President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, said releasing Kanu from incarceration would douse the insecurity in the South-East region.
“His continual detention is escalating insecurity in the Southeast.
“Let us see when he’s released, any person or group that will be instigating insecurity or crisis in Igboland using his name or detention,” Iwuanyanwu said.
He added, “Some people and groups are illegally feasting on his popularity and detention just to cause unnecessary trouble and problems in the entire Southeast and for their own selfish interests. There must be peace and stability in Igboland. Immediate release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will definitely restore sanity.”
Iwuanyanwu, a businessman and newspaper proprietor, said this during his visit to the Supreme Council of Nigeria Traditional Rulers, (Southeast chapter), led by the President, HRM Eze Iheanyichukwu Nwokenna of Abia State, Vice President, HRH Eze Dr Oliver Ohanwe, the Obi Gburu Gburu of Igboland.
