Soludo Reveals What IPOB Leader, Nnamdi Kanu Will Do If Released

By -

 














Governor of Anambra State, Charles Chukwuma Soludo, has revealed what the embattled leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, will do if he is released from detention.

Naija News reports that Kanu has been in the Department of State Services (DSS) custody since his arrest and repatriation to Nigeria from Kenya in 2021.

There have been a series of controversies over the arrest and moves to release the separatist. However, on Monday, Governor Soludo said he is making concerted efforts to secure the Kanu’s freedom.

According to him, if released, Kanu will help to distinguish between genuine freedom fighters and criminals in the South East as everyone has turned into freedom fighters overnight, committing crimes in disguise.

Naija News understands that Soludo remarked yesterday during a quarterly statewide briefing meant to inform Anambra people of his activities in government.

The former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) disclosed that he had booked a session with President Muhammadu Buhari and was only waiting for an appointment, where he hopes to discuss the issue of security in the South East and the release of Kanu.

It could be recalled that Soludo had earlier urged the federal government to release Kanu. The governor pledged to stand as surety for the Biafra agitator if the federal government found it hard to release him unconditionally.

In a swift reply, however, the Attorney general and minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, said that Soludo only made a statement but has not applied to the court or his office about Kanu’s release.

In his address yesterday, however, Soludo said he hoped to meet President Buhari and speak with him about releasing Kanu.

He stressed that if released, Kanu would help him to intervene in areas where people use secessionist agitation as a means to perpetuate criminality.

“On the issue of Nnamdi Kanu, his release does not mean that insecurity will be completely eliminated. The call is in the best interest of the South East as a whole.

“He (Kanu) was saddened by the level of crime associated with the agitation when I visited him in prison. He called it an abomination.

“Everyone has now become a freedom fighter, using it as an avenue to commit a crime. The truth is that if he is released, he will be able to distinguish between genuine freedom fighters and criminals.

What is still holding him back is a political issue. I am awaiting confirmation of appointment with the President to hand him the letter officially,” Soludo said.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

  The NBA has suspended former San Antonio Spurs guard  Joshua Primo   for four games   ... after it says it found he exposed his private parts to multiple women. The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league." They did, however, note that they "did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures." "Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said. Dr. Hillary Cauthen , Primo's former therapist, was the first to  bring the allegations  against Primo to light after she claimed last fall that he exposed himself to her on nine separate occasions.
