Senator Orji Uzor-Kalu has cried out to Nigerians over the issue surrounding the legal battle of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader, Nnamdi Kanu with the Federal Government.

Kalu said: “The problem of Nnamdi Kanu is what we need to solve via a political process. I have been working with the Federal Government of Nigeria on how to solve this issue, and nobody should question the decision of Justice Omotosho.” 

“While Kanu’s legal team will approach the Appeal Court to challenge the Federal High Court ruling, I will contact the Attorney General, Lateef Fagbemi to advise the President on the matter at stake.”

“Several people lost their jobs and sources of livelihood due to the activities of IPOB in the South-East, dozens of Igbo have been killed in the region because of the group’s actions.”

“I had applied pressure on President Muhammadu Buhari to facilitate Kanu’s release in April 2017.”

“Mamman Daura and the then Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami played key roles in securing Kanu’s release from detention to face trial.”

“I know the pressure I personally put on President Buhari before he was released in April 2017. Nobody is talking about the Igbo who were killed.”
