Why I want Nnamdi Kanu release - Gov Soludo
While speaking at the APGA rally, Governor Soludo stated that there is a need to bring Kanu back for a roundtable conversation to help salvage Anambra and other southeast states from their current state of insecurity.
According to Daily Independent, Governor Soludo was quoted saying:
“We need Nnamdi Kanu in the roundtable conversation to discuss the insecurity in the South East. We must end insecurity in the South East and we need Nnamdi Kanu to be around.”
Governor Soludo vowed to take responsibility for Nnamdi Kanu noting that he will make him available whenever the federal government needs his attention.
Kanu's ordeals can be traced back to when he was first arraigned in late 2015 and was granted bail in the first month of the second quarter of 2017.
Upon his release, Kanu was reported to have fled the country following an invasion orchestrated by the military on his residence in Umuahia, Abia state.
He was later captured and arrested in Kenya and brought back to Nigeria to continue his trial which has caused a lot of controversies and other insecurity challenges in the southeast region.
