A socio-political organization group in Igbo land, the Igbo Political Network (IPN) has joined prominent Nigerians calling for the release of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
This is as the Igbo said it has invoked the gods to confront those responsible for the incarceration of the Biafra leader, adding it smacked of wickedness for Kanu to perpetually suffer in prison while those who were supposed to intervene treat the situation with levity.
President of the Igbo Political Network, Chief Okemiri, stated this in Abakaliki, capital of Ebonyi State, on Monday.
He said, “The honest truth is that the time to release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has come. It smacks of injustice and wickedness to continue to detain him even when competent Courts of jurisdiction have ordered for his release. So, we are no longer begging for his release; he must be allowed to go. He should be released.
“Nationally and internationally, the continual detention of Nnamdi Kanu is viewed as an organized ploy to frustrate his inalienable fundamental human right and an open ‘declaration’ that the Igbos are being treated as second class citizen. And the question remains: If known criminals, terrorists and bandits, drug barons and murderers are set free from the prison in Nigeria, why the continuous detention of Nnamdi Kanu?
“This is why we, at the Igbo Political Network (IPN) have come to conclude and without equivocation that his present ordeal is masterminded by selfish Igbo leaders and politicians. Yes, insinuations abound that they are external collaborators to continually hold Kanu behind bars. And to some extent, we agree to these allegations because it’s the rat at home that tells the one in the bush that there’s fish at home. Igbo leaders are working against the release of Nnamdi Kanu for their selfish interest.”
Chiding Kanu’s kinsmen, the IPN boss, said, “Therefore, amid seeming tension and reported deteriorating Nnamdi Kanu’s health in the DSS custody, we expected the Igbo leaders and politicians to follow suit in lending their voices for his release. But they have not done this due to their selfish interest. There’s no problem.”
