Prominent ex-Biafra warlord and elder statesman, Col. Joe
Achuzia, rtd, has declared that it would be a sorry day for Nigeria if anything
happens to the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi
Kanu.
Kanu was charged with treasonable felony and has been
detained in Kuje prison for over one year.
While insisting on Kanu’s unconditional release, Achuzia
noted that the IPOB leader had done nothing and had the right to be free.
He told Sun, “Why we say unconditionally is that there
should be no condition attached to his release, he has the right to be freed
under the Nigerian law, and a competent court of law has already asked several
times that he should be released.
“This issue of Kanu is very intriguing. If something happens
to him while in custody, the government would have created a matter and an
indelible black mark.
“He should be released unconditionally and given the
opportunity to defend himself. If something should happen, it will be a sorry
day for the country.”
