Why FG should release Nnamdi Kanu - Ortom

Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom has called on the Federal Government to release detained Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader, Nnamdi Kanu for peace to work.

He said if the peace process in the country could only be taken seriously if Kanu was released from prison.

Ortom said the release of Kanu is a socio-political challenge that must be dealt with politically.

He lamented that even Boko Haram members who posed a greater threat to the country’s unity had often been pardoned, freed and reintegrated into the society.

Ortom tweeted: “If the peace process in the country is to be taken seriously, I call for the release of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu.

“This is a socio-political challenge that must be dealt with politically.

“Even Boko Haram members who pose a greater threat to the country’s unity have often been pardoned, freed and reintegrated into the society.”
