“Igbo family has lost two Irokos who have kept shade over their people. IPOB has lost people who have been working and speaking during their lifetime, urging the Federal Government of Nigeria to release Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu Kanu.
“The movement also worked closely with late Elder Amaechi Mbazuluike, who died on November 1st, 2022.
“Ndigbo have lost some great leaders within the last two months. These men demanded that Buhari and his APC government release Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu Kanu. We continue to urge the Nigerian government to release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu because of these great men who are now in the bosom of the Lord.
“Ndigbo will be very grateful if the Federal Government of Nigeria releases Mazi Nnamdi Kanu for peace to reign in the land of the rising Sun.
“We asked God Almighty, Chukwu Okike Abiama, who lives in heaven to give the families fortitude to bear these great losses to their families.”
