The Ohanaeze Ndigbo has once again appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to release the detained leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu who has been in custody of the federal government since 2021. 

 

This appeal came on Thursday from the new President-General of the apex Igbo socio-political group Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu.

 

He spoke at the flag-off of the pre-dredging and hydrographic survey of the proposed sea access route of the Urashi-Oguta waterways through Degema to the Atlantic Ocean.

 

‘Please, finally, our vice president, tell our brother and son, Buhari, that the Ohanaeze Ndigbo – the over 60 million Igbos – request that he should release Nnamdi Kanu,’ he said at the event in Oguta, Imo State.
