The governor of Enugu state Peter Mbah has again asked President Bola Tinubu to release Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
The governor made the appeal on Thursday when he visited Mr. Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
He told reporters after meeting with Mr. Tinubu that he had initiated talks with the president on the release of the IPOB leader, who has been in detention since he was re-arrested in Kenya and brought back to Nigeria in June 2021 after initially fleeing the country in September 2017.
“We also talked about the release of Nnamdi Kanu. You know that the Southeast has made a collective demand to have Nnamdi Kanu released,” Mr. Mbah said.
