Ohanaeze Ndigbo Accuses Southeast Leaders of Sabotaging Nnamdi Kanu’s Release
The apex sociopolitical organisation in the Igbo community, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has made startling allegations against certain Southeast governors, senators, and Igbo leaders, accusing them of actively working against the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
Ohanaeze claims that these identified figures are obstructing Kanu’s release and pushing for his transfer to Kuje Prisons instead.
The organisation alleges that this move is motivated by the upcoming governorship elections in Anambra, and it has threatened to reveal the identities of these individuals and groups if they persist in hindering Kanu’s release, scheduled for December 15, 2023.
Okechukwu Isiguzoro, the factional Secretary-General of Ohanaeze, asserted that among these groups are leaders of Biafra agitators who, in their pursuit of quick fame and fortune, have resorted to criminalising the Biafra struggle through hysteria and violence.
Isiguzoro’s statement reads, “Additionally, political elites, including two Southeast governors, senators, and Igbo leaders, are working behind the scenes to ensure that Nnamdi Kanu is only transferred to Kuje Prison instead of being released outright, citing the upcoming Anambra gubernatorial elections.”
In a passionate appeal, Ohanaeze Ndigbo called upon President Tinubu to expedite Kanu’s release by dropping all charges against him and permitting his immediate return to the United Kingdom after release.
