3 years after: Nnamdi Kanu yet to be released… family accuses S/E govs of nonchalance

Three years after, the supreme leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra ( IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu is yet to regain his freedom from the DSS.
This is even as many of the Igbo leaders both dead and alive had at one time appealed to both immediate former President of Nigeria, Buhari as well as his successor, President Tinubu to seek Political solution to Kanu’s case for which he was arrested.
Some of the Igbo leaders who appealed to both former president and present included the former Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo Worldwide President, late Prof George Obiozor who led the delegation of some Igbo leaders to meet the the President, Buhari to release Kanu.

Aside the following, a business mogul and an Igbo born billionaire, Chief Arthur Eze has not ceased to appeal to the present Federal Government to release Nnamdi Kanu.
As if that was not enough, the wife of the Igbo War lord,late Dim Chukwuemeka Odimegwu Ojukwu, Bianca Ojukwu has also appealed to Mr President to release Nnamdi Kanu.
However, source close to Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo revealed that few days after the late Iwuanyanwu’s visit to the detained IPOB leader,he gave up the ghost towards the end of 2024.
