Release Nnamdi Kanu, immortalize Iwuanyanwu – Igbo leaders beg FG
Demand for the release of the detained leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, reverberated on Saturday at the service of songs/tributes for the late President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu.
DAILY POST reports that Kanu has remained in DSS custody despite pleas from several Igbo leaders for a political solution to the problem.
Various speakers at the Saturday event lamented that the release of Kanu was Iwuanyanwu’s last assignment from where he passed-on.
They urged President Bola Tinubu to give Iwuanyanwu his last wish by releasing Kanu, just as they sought for the immortalisation of the late Ohanaeze PG.
The Umuada Igbo Nigeria and in Diaspora, the umbrella body of Igbo Women, also stressed on the two issues of the release of Kanu and for the immortalization of Iwuanyanwu as a detribalised Nigerian.
President General and Founder of Umuada Igbo Nigeria and Diaspora, Lolo Kate Ezeofor said, “May God bless President Bola Tinubu as you oblige us with the immortalizing Chief Dr. Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu and releasing Nnamadi Kanu from DSS custody.”
