SHOCKING! Another Powerful Igbo Group Sends Strong Message To Tinubu Ahead Of Kanu’s Trial, SEE What They Said
Ohanaeze Ndigbo, a strong Igbo movement, has requested the Nigerian government to free IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu as a Christmas gift to the southeast.
Ohanaeze Ndigbo claims Kanu has been exonerated twice by the courts and that his prolonged confinement is unjust. Concerns have been raised about the Supreme Court’ s nomination of Justice Tsammani Haruna, who had previously remanded Kanu without charges.
Ohanaeze Ndigbo, a significant Igbo socio- political movement, has urged Nigeria’ s government to free Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), as a Christmas present to the Southeast area.
Vice President Chief Damian Okeke- Ogene highlighted Kanu’ s release, noting that anything less would be a terrible blow to the Southeast’ s Christmas expectations.
The request comes as the Supreme Court prepares to hear arguments in the Federal Government’ s case against Kanu on December 15.
Okeke- Ogene denied that important Igbo leaders, particularly regional governors, were complicit in Kanu’ s ongoing arrest.
According to The Punch, he stressed that competent courts had already cleared Kanu twice, but the government had failed to act on their decisions.
As a result, he asked President Bola Tinubu to emulate past Presidents Yar’ Adua and Jonathan, who effectively settled the Niger Delta issue via diplomacy and compromise.
He said: ” We prefer not to linger on the political aspects of Kanu’ s release. If he’ s set free on December 15, it’ s long overdue given the courts’ previous rulings of his innocence and subsequent releases, yet no action has been taken. ”
He stated further: ” Hence, we expect the Supreme Court to deliver justice, hoping that President Bola Tinubu recognizes that the resources and lives spent on this matter aren’ t justifiable. Releasing Kanu as a Christmas gesture to the South- East is essential to restore peace in the region. ”
He added: ” We urge the President to follow the examples of past leaders like Umaru Yar’ Adua and Goodluck Jonathan, employing effective strategies to quell unrest in the Niger Delta. The average Igbo person faces similar circumstances and deserves resolution. ”
Okeke- Ogene, on the other hand, warned that failing to release Kanu would result in a ” black Christmas” for the region, shattering the dreams of the people of the Southeast.
He continued by saying: ” By December 15, Kanu must regain freedom; anything less crushes the South- East’ s Christmas hope. Without his release, the region faces a bleak holiday season. ”
He said: ” We can’ t predict the court’ s decision, but we trust the Supreme Court’ s impartiality in a functional judicial system, free from government influence. ”
He also criticised the government for failing to cooperate with Finland in dealing with the issue of IPOB’ s autopilot arm, led by Simon Ekpa, who is suspected of fomenting regional instability.
He added: ” We suspect the Federal Government finds pleasure in Simon Ekpa’ s actions in Finland. Alternatively, a diplomatic solution exists for this government- to- government issue, yet the Federal Government hasn’ t pursued this path for resolution. ”
According to a similar report, The South East Caucus in the Senate has intervened in the FG’ s case against IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu, demanding that the Court of Appeal’ s verdict be followed.
Last Monday, the Court of Appeal in Abuja dismissed the government’ s terrorist accusations against the IPOB leader and ordered his release from the custody of the State Security Service.
Kanu was ” extraordinarily renditioned” to Nigeria, according to the court, and the move constituted a flagrant violation of the country’ s extradition treaty as well as a violation of Kanu’ s fundamental human rights.
Disagreements arose after the Attorney- General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, declared that the Court of Appeal just released Kanu rather than acquitting him.
