Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), is currently imprisoned, according to Damien Okeke Okene, a chieftain of the top Igbo sociopolitical group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo.
The Southeast will continue to experience insecurity, according to Okene, the national vice chairman of Ohanaeze, who said Buhari is aware of this. Kanu would be imprisoned.
Speaking to reporters, Okene said Buhari disapproves of the concept that Kanu is revered throughout the Southeast.

He bemoaned the fact that the President’s recent statements significantly contributed to the holdup of Kanu’s release.
“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,” Ogene said.
Remember how Buhari recently threatened to hold the head of IPOB accountable for the protests against the Nigerian government?
