Nnamdi Kanu’s Kinsmen Reveals What Buhari Must Do To Arrested IPOB Leader

The kinsmen of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), have urged President Muhammadu Buhari to engage in talks with the pro-Biafra activist.

Nnamdi Kanu was reportedly rearrested in Kenya on Sunday and extradited back to Nigeria.

He was then arraigned before Justice Binta Nyako, who ordered that he be held in the DSS’s custody until his next court hearing.

Chief Ikechukwu Ndubueze, the immediate-past President General of Isiama Afaraukwu community, Kanu’s homeland, expressed amazement over Kanu’s detention in an interview with Vanguard.

The arrest of their son, Ndubueze warned, would not put an end to the rising agitation for the reinstatement of the Biafra republic.

He was perplexed as to how Nnamdi Kanu, a British citizen, could be detained and returned without obeying the law.

“Where and how was he arrested? Was there a legal process? Was he arrested or abducted? These are some of the pertinent questions the Nigeria Government should be ready to answer,” he asked.

“This is the time for the federal government to put everything on the table. It’s time for discussion with all the parties,” he said.

“Nnamdi has not been asking for his personal welfare; his agitation is for the freedom of Biafra and against marginalisation of Ndigbo.

“The federal government should consider his agitation. He is not fighting for himself; he is fighting for the freedom of his people.

“Government should stop pretending; if Nigeria was going well, do you think that the #EndSARS protests would have held? That was a signal that there is disenchantment in the land, and the earlier Government admits this obvious fact the better for all.”

Ndubueze slammed the federal government for not putting the same effort used in capturing Nnamdi Kanu in tracking and arresting bandits.

The APC chieftain also accused the federal government of making the IPOB leader popular, advising Government to rather engage him instead of persecuting him.

“You can’t proscribe a group that was only agitating with flags calling for referendum to determine their fate. Civil agitation is not a crime but fundamental human right,” he stated.

“It’s the federal government that is making Nnamdi popular. The first time they arrested him was when they made him popular.

“This second time, they have turned the attention of the whole world on him again. Is it not better they listen to him and address the issue causing this agitation once and for all?”
