Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has demanded that the Federal Government release the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB so as to avert possible breakdown of law and order across the country.
In a statement signed by Secretary General of Apex Igbo socio cultural group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, MazI Okechukwu Isiguzoro,, it says the continuous incarceration of Nnamdi Kanu will attract grave consequences for Nigéria and the Federal Government.
In the same breath, the group said the sit-at home declaration aimed at pressurizing the Nigerian Authorities to release Nnamdi Kanu will destroy economic activities and efforts of Igbo leaders and Politicians to use diplomatic means to get him released. “There’s hunger and hardship in the South East from sad experiences of past sit at homes, there were economic losses, destruction of properties, and hikes in prices of food and essential materials across the South East, and Igbos painstakingly endured untold hardship and this must not continue.
“Igbo should circumvent the hardships associated with sit-at home and ignore it and go to their normal businesses on Monday, IPOB should review their stance and unveil more strategic planning with Southern Nigerian Governors and Legislators to press for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s release without hurting or subjecting the people to sorrow, affliction and despair.
