Biafra: Buhari govt not ready to release Nnamdi Kanu – Ohanaeze

Ohanaeze Ndigbo has said the federal Government led by President Muhammadu Buhari is not ready to release leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu.

The apex sociocultural Igbo group was reacting refusal of Abuja High court to grant the leader of the IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu bail.

Reacting, the National Vice Chairman of the group, Damian Okeke Ogene, said it has now become very clear to them that President Muhammadu Buhari meant all he had said about his unwillingness to release Kanu.Ogene, who warned against the consequences of refusal to release Kanu, recalled that in different public fora, Buhari had uttered negative statements concerning the release of Kanu as if he had committed heinous crimes against God and humanity.

He expressed concern that all the pleas from Igbo elders for Buhari to release Kanu to them for amicable resolution of all the lingering agitations have now proved futile, saying that with this development, history might not tell good of Buhari both now and in future.
