 <\/p>\n

Chukwuma Soludo, governor of Anambra state, says the detention of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, is not connected to the insecurity in the south-east.<\/p>\n

In recent months, calls for the release of the IPOB leader have intensified, with stakeholders from the south-east arguing that it is key to addressing the rising insecurity in the geopolitical zone.<\/p>\n

On July 2, 2024, governors under the umbrella of the South-East Governors\u2019 Forum resolved to meet with President Bola Tinubu to seek the release of the separatist leader.<\/p>\n

On July 3, senators from the zone met with Lateef Fagbemi, attorney-general of the federation and minister of justice, over Kanu\u2019s release.<\/p>\n

In the same month, the south-east council of traditional rulers asked President Bola Tinubu free Kanu to ease tension in the zone.<\/p>\n

In February this year, the house of representatives committee on South East Development Commission (SEDC) demanded Kanu\u2019s release to restore peace in the south-east.<\/p>\n

Benjamin Kalu, deputy speaker of the house, also said releasing Kanu would reduce insecurity in the south-east and that criminals currently use his continued detention as an excuse to perpetrate violence in the region.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Monday during a media chat to mark his third year in office, Soludo said freeing Kanu may not end the insecurity in the south-east.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe release of Nnamdi Kanu, for me, is different from the issue of security. I separate the two, I don\u2019t link the two,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The IPOB leader has been in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) since he was extradited from Kenya in June 2021. He is currently facing terrorism charges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
