South-East Leaders and Governors have said the Federal Government has no reason to continue to keep Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the Leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) after a court had ordered his release.

The leaders who said this during the 2023 Igbo Day Celebration, organised by the Ohaneze Ndigbo Worldwide and hosted by Gov. Peter Mbah of Enugu State on Friday in Enugu said they have carefully reviewed Kanu’s case and could not find any just reason why he cannot be released.
They noted that the continuous incarceration of Kanu, even after a court of competent jurisdiction had freed him, had worsened the security situation in the zone.

The event which was chaired by Prince Arthur Eze, the Chief Executive Officer, Atlas Oranto Petroleum Limited, had many prominent Igbo sons and daughters from the five southeast states, including Rivers and Delta States, in attendance.

Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, the President General of Ohaneze Worldwide, said most of the killings in the zone are blamed on the non-release of Kanu from detention.

The president general said Ohaneze had for several months pleaded with the Federal Government (FG) to release him.

hereby once again, on behalf of Ohanaeze Ndigbo worldwide, appeal to the FG to release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, more so, when a court of competent jurisdiction in Nigeria had declared him innocent.

“As the president general of Ohaneze Ndigbo, I consider myself a father and it pains me so much when my children are killed on a daily basis.

“It pains me when most of them have both their lives and livelihood destroyed, I will strongly appeal to the FG that in view of the fact that over two years, the situation has persisted. We need to adopt a non-kinetic approach,” he said.


He added that he strongly believed that if Kanu was released and a non-kinetic approach was adopted, the unnecessary killings and destruction of lives and property would be reduced and even stopped.

Iwuanyanwu, who described the Igbo Day celebration as an important event for all Igbos, said the event was the beginning of a turnaround for southeast development and transformation.

In an opening remark, Arthur Eze said it had become necessary for the leadership of Ohanaeze to positively engage the FG for the release of Kanu whose reported health condition attracts huge sympathy.

His crime is going against the forced unity.

He's the leader of a terrorist group called IPOB and ESN.

The way the Federal Government under APC disobey court orders is so shameful.
A country that it's leaders don't respect the rule of law is an invitation for anarchy.

You think if Nigeria were Russia this Nnamdi Kanu would still be alive, a.k.a 'saner climes'?!

He ordered the killings of security operatives, and he is the leader of the Ipob proscribed terrorist group, that went on a killing spree of security operatives, breaking Nigerian jails and releasing prisoners, enforcing sit at home, kidnapping and killing of prominent and ordinary Nigerians. He has a lot of case to answer to Nigeria not southeast.

Russia is a United country....

Nigeria is not United, killing him will give rise uprising by many people....

Mind what you wish because you won't be safe when the chips are down

Other regions are asking for better things, these ones are asking for the release of someone who made the SE region unstable.

Lol .

The government is too lenient. Imagine Kanu is the President of Biafra, and being a Jew as he as claimed to be, what do you think he will do to a Christian Igbo leader who decides to act the way he has acted?

Any person supporting evil, may the works of ipob ESN UGM visit u and ur generations, iseeee. May their activities never depart from ur family. Eke orie afor nkwor, iseeeeee



Ipob's lack of strategy was what created the monsters out of the men they armed in the name of ESN. Things have spiralled out of control because there was never a clear cut strategy.

Sometimes, guns na the last thing you need to give people, IPOB failed in that aspect. They may not be a terrorist group, but they have successfully created one.
