The apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has appealed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to withdraw all charges against the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

This is coming following the recent release of Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Igboho from prison in Benin Republic.

Ohanaeze’s factional Secretary-General, Okechukwu Isiguzoro in a statement said:

“We express our satisfaction with President Patrice Talon of Benin Republic for releasing Sunday Igboho through the intervention of Yoruba leaders and political figures.”

“Now, we believe it is the opportune moment for President Tinubu to follow suit and show similar gestures by dropping all charges against Nnamdi Kanu.”

“The release of Nnamdi Kanu will not only contribute to restoring peace in the Southeast region but also address the prevailing security challenges faced by our nation.”

“Ohanaeze Ndigbo firmly believes that granting Kanu his freedom will foster reconciliation and promote more harmonious coexistence among different ethnic groups in Nigeria.”
