A chieftain of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Damien Okeke Okene, has explained why President Muhammadu Buhari is allegedly interested in keeping Biafra agitator, Nnamdi Kanu incarcerated.

Recall that Buhari, while speaking during his meeting with the United Kingdom, UK, Prime Minister, Boris Johnson in Kigali, Rwanda, said the Kanu would be made to account for the outrage against the Nigerian government.

The Ohanaeze’s National Vice Chairman, said Buhari is aware that keeping the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB behind bars would keep Southeast  wallowing in insecurity.

Okene, who stated this while addressing newsmen, said Buhari frowns at the idea of idolizing Kanu across the region.

He said: “If you assess the President’s comments and utterances before the court sitting, you will understand that he was not interested in releasing the young man because he knows that doing so will bring happiness to the people of the South-East, who are longing for his release.

“Although, the court has adjourned the matter, Buhari’s recent utterances in the build-up to the court sitting greatly influenced the decision of the court and the President knows that keeping Kanu means that the insecurity in the South-East will continue because the people see him as their idol and they want him released,”
