- Ambassador Ojukwu stated that President Bola Tinubu will release Kanu because he recognized the significance of his liberty
The Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, has disclosed that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) will regain his freedom soon.
This was made known during the 13th memorial anniversary of the late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu in Owerri on Tuesday.
Ambassador Ojukwu stated that President Bola Tinubu will release Kanu because he recognized the significance of his liberty.
According to her, Kanu’s release would help uncover the criminal elements exploiting IPOB to wreak havoc in the Southeast.
“President Tinubu understands the importance of Kanu’s release. It will expose the masqueraders behind the violence and help restore order. I will do whatever it takes to ensure His Excellency grants this request.
“The release of Nnamdi Kanu is essential to distinguishing genuine freedom fighters from criminals causing mayhem in the Southeast,” Ojukwu stated.
She pointed out that the Igbo people were not known for harming their own and urged for collective efforts to reclaim the region from criminality and insecurity.
The ambassador also condemned the violent “sit-at-home” orders imposed in the Southeast, noting that they run counter to the ideals of self-determination and have hindered economic activities in the area.
“Ndigbo are enterprising and their brother’s keepers. We must reclaim our land and continue to promote the ideals for which Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu stood,” she said.
Nnamdi Kanu has been in custody since he was repatriated from Kenya
