SOLUDO BEGS NIGERIAN GOVT TO RELEASE NNAMDI KANU, PROMISED TO BE HIS SURETY

Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State has appealed to the Nigerian government to “unconditionally and immediately” release Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

Mr Soludo made the appeal on Saturday during the campaign flag-off of the All Progressives Grand Alliance in Awka, the state capital.

The governor said if the IPOB leader cannot be released unconditionally by the government, he (Kanu) should be released to him (Soludo).

Mr Soludo assured that he would cater for Mr Kanu and also offered to bring him to the country’s authorities any time he is required.

It would be recalled that the governor visited the IPOB leader at the facility of Nigeria’s secret police, State Security Service, in Abuja, explaining that the visit was part of his “wider consultations with critical stakeholders” to ensure lasting peace and security in the South-east.
