Media entrepreneur and publisher of Ovation International, Dele Momodu, has lent his voice to the calls being made to the Federal Government to release the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu.
He made the call on his X handle this Tuesday, as he posted a clip of one of Kanu’s broadcasts recorded shortly before his repatriation from Kenya by Nigerian security agents.
He said the agitation for Biafra was deeply rooted in what he described as “decades of marginalization and deprivation” suffered by the Igbo people as he urged the government to address the underlying causes of separatist agitation in the South-East.
Momodu condemned those who condemned Kanu and his followers without, in his view, understanding the historical and political context of their agitation.
He further warned that attempts to silence or eliminate Kanu would not end the agitation, stressing that the Igbo struggle required political rather than legal or military solutions.
