Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, has disclosed that President Bola Tinubu is considering the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

She made this announcement on Tuesday during the 13th memorial anniversary of the late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu in Owerri.

Ambassador Ojukwu highlighted that President Tinubu understands the critical importance of Kanu’s release, stating it would help expose criminal elements misusing IPOB’s name to perpetrate violence in the Southeast.

“President Tinubu recognizes the significance of releasing Kanu. It will unmask those behind the violence and contribute to restoring peace in the region. I am committed to doing everything possible to ensure His Excellency considers this request,” she said.

She further explained that Kanu’s release would help differentiate genuine freedom fighters from criminals wreaking havoc in the Southeast.

Ojukwu also urged the Igbo community to come together to address insecurity in the region, emphasizing that the Igbo are traditionally known for supporting one another and should not tolerate violence against their own.

She condemned the violent “sit-at-home” orders imposed in the Southeast, describing them as detrimental to economic activities and contrary to the ideals of self-determination.

“Ndigbo are industrious and deeply care for one another. We must reclaim our land and uphold the values for which Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu stood,” she added.

Nnamdi Kanu has been in detention since 2021 following his extradition from Kenya.
