The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has called on Southern leaders to stop begging the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government to release its leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
Emma Powerful, the spokesman of IPOB, said begging the Federal Government makes Kanu look guilty when he has committed no offence.
Powerful was reacting to a call by the Southern and Middle Belt Leaders’ Forum, SMBLF, that Kanu should be released.
In a statement he signed, Powerful said: “Leaders from the south should stop begging the FG to do what will save the already battered image of the country because no court can try or convict him on the face of this flagrant violation of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s human rights, as well as the criminal violation of International humanitarian law and extant treaties forbidding extraordinary rendition, it is impossible and can’t happen.
“Begging the Federal Government may simply give the impression that he is guilty of an offence when he has committed none. The Federal Government should do the needful by either withdrawing the charges on or before 8th April, 2022.”
