Ohanaeze Cry Out Over Nnamdi Kanu’s Continued Detention

By Glam & Essence

The Ohanaeze Ndigbo, speaking through one of its chieftains, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, has revealed that there is a plan by some people to keep Nnamdi Kanu in prison even after President Tinubu’s tenure.
According to him, these people are opposed to President Bola Tinubu releasing the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, rather, they want Kanu kept in detention alongside incarcerated Boko Haram members.
Speaking more on the matter, the Ohanaeze’s Secretary-General, Chidi Ibeh said the people opposing Kanu’s release want to turn the Igbos against themselves and ensure that the Southeast is burnt down.
Hear Isiguzoro: “We have observed that there are persons who don’t wish Ndigbo well, who would like the Southeast to burn, who harbour so much hatred on Ndigbo because of the past activities of Nnamdi Kanu.
“Such persons are around Mr President and have been around Buhari in the past. These are the people who understand that the continuous incarceration and detention of Kanu would result in insecurity, hardship in the Southeast, and destabilize the most peaceful zone in Nigeria, and by so doing, they encouraged Buhari to ensure that Kanu’s detention was done to make Igbos rebel against themselves.
“Irrespective of the pleas by elder statesmen like late Mbazulike Amaechi to Buhari to release Kanu, these people have continued to mount pressure to ensure his incarceration beyond Tinubu’s tenure.
“These things are deliberate acts to push Southeast and the Monday sit-at-home to the brink, so that people of the region will fight back and they would unleash the military on them.
“We know that it will be very difficult for Mr President to be surrounded by persons who will not wish to see Kanu free, the message to Ndigbo is that the enemies are at work, so they should not expect Kanu’s release soon.”
