“If he (Kanu) is released, at least the likes of Simon Ekpa would not have anything else to say again. No person can use Nnamdi Kanu as an excuse to cause mayhem in the country.”
Nnamdi Kanu’s arrest contributed to South East unrest
He added that the arrest of the IPOB and the region’s social inequality are what led to the agitation in the Southeast.
He noted that if Kanu is released Ekpa will have no excuse to cause mayhem in the region anymore.
“We have been consistent on the release of Nnamdi Kanu. We believe that the problem of what happened to Nnamdi Kanu has contributed to the agitation. What is happening in the South East now is the manifestation of the social injustices meted on the South East.
“Nnamdi Kanu issue will require a diplomatic political solution and not matter of charging him to court, leaving him in prison or being incarcerated; rather such will lead to more clamouring and affects the situation."
