October 21, (THEWILL) – Apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide on Thursday said it will not relent till the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra ( IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu and others detained by the Federal Government, regain freedom.
The Group made its position known in a statement issued on Thursday by its National Publicity Secretary, Chiedozie Alex Ogbonnia.
“We are unrelenting in our resolve to ensure that the FG toes the path of wisdom by conceding to the proposal for Dialogue and Alternative Dispute Resolution which will ensure the unconditional freedom of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and all members of IPOB detained across Nigeria.
“The diplomatic engagements by Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide under the able leadership of His Excellency, Ambassador Professor George Obiozor has apparently yielded a positive result as the Federal Government has through the Department of State Security bowed to the overwhelming demands of Ndigbo by producing the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in Court.
“This is one step forward in Ohanaeze’s determined moves towards ensuring that the Afara Ukwu Prince is set free in no distant time.
“The Monitoring Team of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide led by former governor of Anambra State, His Excellency, Dr Chukwuemeka Ezeife, Chief Nwosu, Ezeigbo 1 of Abuja, Barr. Goddy Uwazurike was also in court to monitor proceedings and report back to the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo”, Ohanaeze stated.
