Breaking News !

The Igbo socio-cultural group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has called on President Muhammadu Buhari-led government to set free, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.

They threatened to boycott the 2023 general elections should their demand not be met.

Kanu is currently facing charges bordering on treasonable felony at the Federal High Court in Abuja.

The IPOB leader was initially granted bail in April 2017 over health conditions. However, he flouted some of the bail conditions given him by the court.

He fled the country to the UK where he also holds a citizenship but was rearrested while on a visit to Kenya in June 2021.

In a statement made available to newsmen on Saturday, January 1, 2022, Secretary-General of Ohanaeze, Okechukwu Isiguzoro urged Buhari to free Kanu so that peace, security and stability can return to the South-East of Nigeria.

The statement added that setting Nnamdi Kanu free will restore the dignity of Nigeria and readmit her into the comity of nations.
